Our purpose in life

Moms, raising our kids is NOT our purpose. That's our ministry. Don't confuse the two.


Our purpose is not our calling or our ministry. That's just our job -- something He has entrusted us with, but we were not made specifically for that. When it comes to calling, we can always be replaced. God did not create Noah to build the ark. He found Noah to be the only righteous man left at that time. Don't mix our calling with our purpose. Many are called but few are chosen. They may not be chosen but that doesn't mean that they will not have a purpose anymore.


Worshipping God is not our purpose either. It's what we do -- even the stones cry out -- but we were not created specifically for that -- He didn't just create us so He can have more worship -- He had plenty of angels to worship Him already.


Having dominion on this earth is not our purpose either, but it is our responsibility. Our kid's responsibility is to clean their room but we didn't bring them into this world so they can clean their room. We brought them into this world so we can have sons and daughters that we can have a relationship with and THIS is the same reason why God created us.


God created us to first have a relationship with Him. He wanted children, so He created us in His image -- in the image of God. And He would spend time, everyday, with Adam and Eve, chatting with them and building that relationship with them.


So our main purpose in life is to have a relationship with God. Nothing else is more important and without fulfilling that purpose, you will always have an emptiness in your heart.


It is impossible to have a relationship with anyone if we cannot communicate with that person. Prayer is a two-way communication platform. When we talk to God, we need to hear His reply. The Holy Spirit speaks all the time but we need to listen.


So, our purpose is to have a relationship with God. Which can only be achieved through communication with God. 


And if you cannot hear the voice of God everyday, and if you do not communicate with Him all the time, you are not fulfilling your purpose. What do we do with a pen that can't write? We either refill it or discard it. So what is your life worth without a relationship with God? It's worth nothing. What if you can't hear God speaking to you? You don't have a real relationship with God -- it's a one-sided relationship. If you can't hear God, it means He's sending you messages you never open.


When you die and go to Heaven, it all comes down to whether or not we have a relationship with Him:


Matthew 7:23a

"And then I will declare to them, ‘I never KNEW you; depart from Me.."


God knows everything so when He says He never KNEW us, He means personally. The actual word means intimacy.

Couple Disagreements -- To Move or Stay Put?

It's not up to either of you nor is it our place to advice you. You both need to pray and seek the Lord for guidance on this. The Lord has led us as a family from one place to another. There is a time to move and there is a time to stay put. Ask the Lord for guidance. Also, submission to your husband and saving your marriage is more important than money. How to Pray: Both of you, go to a room, whether alone or together, close your eyes, ask God to give you guidance on whether to move or stay, and ask Him for a book, chapter and verse. Then wait for it with eyes closed. Wait for the book, chapter number and verse number. Read the whole chapter anyway, including the key verse.  It's hard the first few times but you'll get it over time, do it everyday as devotion. Get a notebook or Google Drive to write down what God is saying. Then match your verse and understanding with his. After a few days, you kind of know where this is going.

No money for extra curricular classes

Perhaps try YouTube classes. We don't spend any money on co-ops or classes. Are there any free community classes in your area or at the library? What we did was run free classes ourselves. I run some at my home and some at the local library -- business classes, etc. so my kids have other kids to have classes with.  Also, I babysit once a week and make sure it doesn't disrupt our schedule much. But what really brought in income for us was to sell furniture that we got for free. Sometimes, it doesn't need to be large furniture -- just items that people put out on the street and free items on Facebook marketplace

How God Saved My Marriage on the 9th year...

Please don't give up. Remember Smith Wigglesworth. There is hope. Pray for your husband everyday. I have a secret formula that I just found out recently -- intercession -- it's not what I thought it was. It's more than just crying on behalf of someone. It's praying on behalf of someone, like, Nehemiah, "Forgive us," he prayed on behalf of his forefathers. This means praying for your husband be like, "On behalf of my husband, Lord, Jesus, I pray, forgive my sins and help me to be more like You, help me to be a good dad and help me to draw close to You. Use me to be a mighty man of God, etc....." and just allow the Holy Spirit to lead you to pray him into the man He wants him to be. Things only took a turnaround on about the 9th year or so. It was so bad that even when I tried date night, like playing a board game with him, he will be on his phone playing his game. His heart was not into us at all. I learned from one of these godly moms in the comments...
