I discovered my unique purpose at 17, but somewhere along the way, I lost it. But those general purposes also take different shapes. Yes, there are things that God wants all His followers to do, and He intends for our faith to guide our lives and determine our priorities. We succumb to the idea that вЂњthis must be all there isвЂќ when God has so much more in mind for us. And He meant it-but sometimes we seem content to muddle through the mundane. Jesus said, вЂњI have come that they may have life and have it in abundanceвЂќ (John 10:10). Problem is, I was missing out because I was sort of just letting life happen to me. I wanted more than a generic purpose I wanted to devote my life to something IвЂ™d been designed for. Yet IвЂ™d always believed that God had a specific purpose for my life, something that would draw on the passions, interests, and even quirks HeвЂ™d created in me. WarrenвЂ™s five purposes-worship, fellowship, discipleship, ministry, and evangelism-seemed vague to me. IвЂ™d read his book, but honestly it didnвЂ™t inspire me much. Rick Warren writes in The Purpose Driven Life about purposes he believes everyone should pursue. The truth was IвЂ™d known since I was 17 what I was supposed to be doing with my life. WhatвЂ™s worse, deep down I knew exactly what was wrong. I knew there should be something more meaningful. I knew there ought to be more to life than this-some purpose beyond the weekly round of work, church, and social activities.

I might go out to dinner with friends or see a movie before heading to bed, but I would just wake up and do it all over again. And even after work, there was nothing particularly exciting to look forward to. How did the afternoons get so long? I wondered. It was 3:45 p.m., so I still had more than an hour of work left before I could go home. Once again, I found my eyes drifting to the clock in the corner of the screen.
