A great eye opening experience occurred at several different places. I was in one area and God made it very clear that I was supposed to preach about purpose. Through that I discovered that many students and people in general are living without purpose. And many have said if they had a purpose they would change how they live! Isn't that insane! It also made me think. Am I making decisions based on my God given purpose? The answer is YES for the most part but realistically there are things I would change.
One girl from this youth group has drastically changed her life. Her youth pastor sent me an email and told me that she had said she never thought about having a purpose. That seems so foreign to me. How could she not know she has a purpose? But aren't most of us walking around living a life that lacks purpose? We get stuck in the monotony of life and forget that our decisions matter! Every single one of them. We get up, we get ready, we go to work, we come home, we make dinner, we get ready for bed, we go to bed, and then we repeat. It makes me think of the instructions on a shampoo bottle! Rinse and repeat!
Think about that in conjunction with your own life! Are you only living with a "rinse and repeat" pattern? If you only had one more day to live what would you want to do with it? Would it be your usual routine? If not then throw some spice in life and change it up a bit. You never "know" when you are going to die! Don't live in the "rinse and repeat" mode! That is restructuring my life!
