This is a very familiar question. From our youth and continuing into adulthood we often find ourselves wondering what were we put on this earth to do? As a first step to answering the question, individually one may ask himself some follow-up questions, “What makes me tick, what gives me motivation, and what are my dreams, passions & desires?” As a part of self-examination when we ponder our individual answers to these questions, we should then ask ourselves would Jesus be found with the same types of motivations, dreams and desires?

Recently I’ve developed a desire to learn how to care for house plants. I’ve never had a green thumb, so I didn’t want to start out being too ambitious with a plant that required extensive maintenance. I just wanted something I could easily take care of, watch grow, and enjoy. Having done my research before going plant shopping, I found out that peace lilies were a good option because of their ability to clean the air of toxins and their minimal maintenance requirement. Sounded like a winner.
