Purpose Driven Life

Often we say that everyone lives for a purpose, whether they realise it or not. Rick Warren wrote the book, Purpose Driven Life. Many people put their lives for something that they want to be known for, as their identity, as their purpose. That is why when we first meet someone, we'll ask, "Which programme you're in?" or if we're working, "What do you do?"

Finishing exams was something was a dream to me since few months ago. I dreaded so much to finish SSABSA, and to end the torment of facing the pressure of exams, quizzes and internal assessments. But since I finish my last paper 2 days ago, I begin to ask myself, "I've gotten what I want, so now what?"

Should I go and hang out now?
Should I pack up my bag and go home now?
Should I clean up my house after the mess of exams?
Should I go play computer games like there's no tomorrow?

I'm confused. I don't know what to do. At least before I finish exams, I have a clear purpose and goal; to study, but now I do not. I feel so lost, waiting for things to fall upon me, waiting for events to happen, or to initiate for events to happen.

It was time that I did my soul-searching. What am I here for? What am I expecting? Is life filled with series of events, of which after I finish one, I proceed to the another? Why must I use activities to give me a false 'sense' of purpose?

Do I not know what my purpose is to know God and to enjoy Him forever? Its time that I spend more time with my boyfriend up there in heaven. If not, I'll continue to crave for activities to give purpose. Activities don't give us purpose, only a relationship with God gives the fullest purpose in life. Thank God I've found this purpose.
