fulfill my purpose

I am in distress. Since I have been living this life out of my own will and following the urges of my selfish being.

The worst part is,I know I am created for more than what this world has to offer me. I know I am placed here not just to enjoy momentary happiness and fleeting fulfillments. I know I am breathing for a greater purpose, not for myself, but i live for the one who gave me this gift of life.

I need to return back to the basics, to remember that I am His child and I am his. I am not my own, but I belong to Him.

By age 71 I’ve learned that life holds many things for each of us, but that we each have a unique purpose for being alive and it is a gift from God. Discovering this, and living it out is a journey that doesn’t happen overnight.

Just when I think I’ve fulfilled this purpose, I discover that fulfillment leads to a deeper awareness of much more to be accomplished or experienced beyond what I had imagined.

For me, life has taken many twists and turns, but I have discovered there is much I can do to bring about change. I run a non-profit prison ministry as a volunteer and we’ve added a database for employers to register if they are willing to hire ex-inmates and give them an equal chance in hiring consideration.

Quite by accident at age 67 I learned about internet marketing and am now an expert at Google AdWords and support myself managing accounts for others. Suddenly I have discovered I am becoming aware of ways to make use of the internet using my skills and how I might promote the equal chance job hiring to employers.

My goal is to live to be at least 90 and still have my mind and ability to try new things to complete these things.
