What on earth R U doing?

I’ve pondered this question and had some answers of my own forming & reforming for a good 18 months or so now. I think it’s good to be clear on it & to use the time we’re given well. If we don’t yet know the answer then we can pursue it pro-actively.

The fact is we r all doing something with our hours & minutes, premeditated or not - r we doing what we really yearn to, want & are called to do or just what drops on our lap? I’m guessing it’s easy to go to the grave having “pinball-bounced” off life’s corners with some vague occasional objectives and a good deal of time spent watching The X Factor & BGT but I’d like to get there knowing I’d known my mission and had fulfilled it to the best of my ability.

I’ve decided to blg it out there… for my own clarity, comment maybe and also if it gives you food for thought. Though some parts may be a little cryptic (it's not all 'public' domain!), incomplete or disjointed (it's defo a work in progress) , I hope most of it will make sense.

There’s probably as many ways to organize & word it as there are people but I have a number of aspects that I’m playing with at the moment...

• My Deep Purpose – 2 enJOY life with God & others

• Life Mission – To imitate Christ in loosing the chains and aiding the prisoners to be free – (Refs -Psalms/Isaiah). Disciple & pastor - family & others.

Calling - Pastor...ie 2 encourage and come alongside people with the express intention of building them up and empowering them 2 live a free-er and more exhilarating life - finding their place of purpose and healing & ALIVENESS, ministering Gods word of life to energise and transform.
