What on earth am I here for?

I remember in 2013, every time I visited a bookstore in any shopping mall, I always spotted this philosophical question on a best-selling book cover; 'What on earth am I here for?'

So I secretly replied each time I saw it, "Ooh, I am here for my Boba and KFC upstairs!" While the other day I answered, "Ooh I am here for my me-time with a new book in Starbucks downstairs!" And the other day, when strolling in a well-known Christian bookstore in the city and saw it, I replied, "Ooh I am here for Chicken Soto in the café upstairs, and I am going to read new scribes." The other days, each time I spotted that question, I kept answering 'intrapersonally' because it was quite fun. The thing is, I've already bought Rick Warren's 'The Purpose Driven' book 3 times since 2006, so I know the answer.


When our agenda is full of busy-ness, goals to achieve, both short term and long term goals, we seldom think about our existence and its purpose. But when the experts and our government's 'spoke person' ask people to stay home until the vaccines are available, we may start to ask many philosophical questions, or we have cabin fever and find ourselves starting making poems like the guy in 'Locked Down' movie. Well, that's a way to express feelings or fatigue, and that does not matter, we always have Pastor Rick Warren's book to confirm what The Spirit tells us that we are planned for God's pleasure.

Adventure with God

By

To the mountain, where I can find the fire hole To the valley, where I can look for the water stream To the city, where I can find an exciting job To the cave, where I can find the bats To the grave, where I can find reality To the highway, where I can feel the velocity To the lake, where I can enjoy silence To the big river, where I can feel the danger To the deep blue sea, where I can see the other creatures I am going on an adventure with God.

'Oat' and 'Out'

By
"Son, if the oats finish, we may need to go out!" Said a young mother to her little boy. How do you perceive this line, a sad line? Supposing it is a sad line, yes, they need to go out! Even if it is a happy line, they still need to go out. "Mom, let's go out and pick strawberries instead! The boy responded cheerfully. I learned something from children way of thinking, that we can count on their big picture thinking in hard times or dilemma. Photo source: Unsplash (Photographer: No-Revisions)

X'mas Self Esteem

By
Photo Source: Pixabay (Photographer: Sidra Iftikhar) Merry I live in the capital city and don't have a boyfriend. My parents live in another city. I always spend my Christmas days in a boarding house. Thank God I have a few friends who want to join me at church.  Happy I study at college at night and work in the daytime, don't have a boyfriend, my parents have just divorced, and my mom always makes us spend Christmas holiday in a hotel in town. This is how we survive Christmas. Joy I work a full-time job as a waitress in a Chinese Restaurant. I spend my Christmas in a restaurant. I volunteer to work on holiday, because my family is not in this country. My fiancé can not come to see me. The Christmas ornaments are the only festive thing that makes me feel like Christmas day.
