Please help!!

As you begin your senior year, you will be thinking about where your life after graduation will take you. You know that God made you in His image (Genesis 1:27). You know that He put you on this earth for a special reason, giving you a mission only you can fulfill. How will you find the path to complete that mission?
During this first semester, the projects will be focused on finding some writing and speaking tools you will need as you begin your move toward the work God wants you to do.
Consider the following questions:
What gifts have you realized God has given you to this point in your life?
What “hints” have you had that point you in a specific direction?
What steps can you take to develop those gifts and use them to the fullest?
What skills, gifts, or areas of interest do you need to learn or hone?
What tools do you have already that will help you move forward?
What is your ultimate goal in life?

Complete the following activities:
Begin with a prayer to the Holy Spirit to guide your work.
Activity 1: Gifts
Read Isaiah 11:2-3 and Galatians 5:22-23.
Which of these gifts and fruits of the Spirit do you find active in your life? What has God shown you to this point in your life? List the gift or gifts and give a brief explanation of how you see it working in your life.




Activity 2: “Hints”
After careful thought, list any direction in life that seems to take prominence. Do you have a serious interest in a particular area, such as science, math, writing, mechanics, design, medicine, music, art, ecology, farming, etc.?
List the areas of greatest interest to you.

Activity 3: Steps
What steps can you take to develop those gifts and use them to the fullest?
List a few ideas here on how you plan to develop your gifts.


Activity 4: Skills
What skills do you need to learn so you can hone these gifts or areas of interest?
List a few ideas here on what new skills you may need to acquire to develop your gifts.


Activity 5: Tools
What tools do you have already that will help you move forward?
Do you have a spiritual and material “backpack” of tools at hand? Ex: Do you have some Bible quotes or other quotes that inspire or comfort you in time of need? Where do you keep them? Are they in a place where you can return to them quickly if you need them?
Have you worked diligently on your English and communication skills so that you are ready to communicate your message to the world?
List a few quotes or other tools you have ready when needed.




Activity 6: Goal
What is your ultimate goal in life?
List something that stands out for you now, at this point of life.






PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER:
After completing the activities, write a paragraph or two (about 300 words total) about how you see your career path developing once you graduate.
Finding God’s purpose for you is a lifetime pursuit but being attentive to the Spirit will keep you on the path.
Demonstrate your communication skills through correct Standard English sentences and vocabulary, clear points and transitions, and consistent punctuation, capitalization, and spelling.
You will use all of this information for the projects in the next three units.

Begin your paragraph(s) your heading and a creative title:

Discovering My Purpose: A Journey to Finding My Mission

After completing the activities, I have a better understanding of what gifts and skills God has given me and how I can use them to fulfill my mission in life. Through my prayer to the Holy Spirit, I realized that I have a passion for writing and speaking, which is why I see myself developing these gifts to the fullest. To develop my writing skills, I plan on taking courses in creative writing and journalism, as well as practicing writing regularly through blogging and storytelling.

Moreover, I have a deep interest in science and math, which I believe I can use to help others understand complex topics in a simple and effective manner. In order to hone my skills in these areas, I plan on taking courses in science communication and data analysis.

I have several tools that I can use to help me move forward in life, including my strong English and communication skills, as well as my spiritual backpack of quotes and affirmations that inspire and comfort me. Additionally, I have a strong support system in my family and friends who have always been there for me and encouraged me to pursue my passions.

My ultimate goal in life is to use my gifts and skills to inspire and empower others, whether it be through writing, speaking, or education. I believe that through my journey to finding my mission, I will be able to make a positive impact on the world and bring glory to God.

In conclusion, I am grateful for the opportunity to reflect on my gifts, skills, and passions and how I can use them to fulfill my mission in life. I am excited to continue this journey of self-discovery and growth, and to see where the Holy Spirit leads me.
