Finding who you are, is something that you should be doing when you're in your teens right? Your God given purpose is very elusive, and knowing how to start looking is a big help. The bible! The bible has all the answers to every question you will ever ask. As that is the case, starting your search, with the bible makes a lot of sense. I was one of those kids that was so confident in what I wanted to be when I grew up, and I had my parent's full support. I wanted to be a seamstress, and I was going to start my own business and be wildly successful. Well, I am still working on it.
Some people don't know what they want to do
Some people argue with their parents over what they want to do
Some people agree with their parents about what to do, but they have different plans on how to get there
Knowing what you want to do is a big deal! It will determine, how you get there. Not just what you want to do as in a job, but also what kind of lifestyle you want to have. Most people know a little about what they want.
My sister told me that nine tenths if not more, of her co-workers have no idea what they want, and have no plan. So, take advice from someone who knew what she wanted to do when she was twelve, Pick something! It doesn't have to be exactly what you do for the rest of your life, you can always change direction. I wanted to be an artist, drawing, and painting. I learned you can't make a living drawing and painting, quickly. Sewing is an art form, now I am more passionate about sewing than I ever was about drawing.
God, you formed me in my mother's womb you knew me before I knew myself. I still don't know myself the way you know me. I do not search for myself, I know me because I know what you say about me. I am the daughter of the king. The Lord of heaven's armies. I ask that you help those who look for themselves, not to find themselves, but to find you. I ask that you put your words in my mouth, so I can speak only what you permit me to. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
