Jeremiah 1:5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born, I consecrated you..."

Nothing like a good war movie (we were soldiers) to get your thoughts moving about ur purpose in ur life. What is my purpose? what am i fighting for, if i'm fighting at all. It seems that when a soldier looses something, he finds more strength, and more courage for the fight. He looses a friend, a comrade and there is a spark of greater desire to see the job done, to see the fight completed...

"Every man is a soldier. Every man has his war, his battle, the fight for his life and the others around him. Every day, every soldier must choose to fight, must choose to pick up his weapon and enter yet another day for the fight for his life."

What is it i'm fighting for? Have i forgotten to wake up and pick up my sword, pick up my weapon? Has the purpose of my life, the purpose of my battle lost it's meaning in 'everyday living'.

How do u get back into the fight, how do you realize who you truly are.

"Every man is more than he seems. Every man has more in him than he thought was there, than he even thought possible. It's a journey and a daily fight to find that part of oneself that will stand up and fight."

Find that part and u are off to a better life, because every life is worth fighting for, your own, and especially the lives of those around you...
