Have you ever asked you're self these Questions: 
Why am i alive ?
Why am i a Filipino/american/ect ect ? 
Why am i in this Situation in life?
What on Earth am i here for?? 
What is My Purpose in Life?
Why are there trials in life? 
These are just some of the Questions that i once asked my self when i was only 4yrs old , i asked my Mom and Dad the same but no answers , same goes w/my former teachers, but no answers.
The answers where only given when i discovered this book of Ptr. Dick Warren who wrote the book ..... "The Purpose Driven Life" that became a best selling book all over the world ... started August last year.
each of us has a divine calling , we have a destiny and we are created by God in His own image and created for His own pleasure.
if We have a destiny we all also have our own free will to do what ever we wanted to do, the cause of each one's failure is to be free to do what we wanted to do, but everything has a perfect timing to discover that our lives , God has designed it according only to His will.
He said in the book of Jeremia ... "For I know the plans that I have for you , plans not to hurt you and to distroy you but plans to prosper you and to give you hope in your Future.
well ...post away .... and God bless you all!!!

I'm alive because God has a reason for me to be.
God made me an Americian for his own reason. I don't really know why, but God will use me to lead others to him when he see fit.
Life is full of different Situation and we must learn how to deal with them.
We're on Earth for one reason, serve God or something else. God gave us the choice to choose as we wish to believe. That's why he put the tree of good and evil in the garden. To see if man would obey. If Adam and Eve ate of the fruit, then most of man kind would have also. God was then forced to create Hell and punish those forever who didn't obey his laws.
The meaning of life is an easy question to answer for me, because I believe it to be that we either serve God or Satan. Then when Christ returns, we'll be judged on our believes.
To understand why there are trial and tribulations in our life is not easy to get. Unless you put forth some time in studing scripture. First of all, if we as humans understood what God does and how he does it then, 1) he couldn't be titled "Almighty" 2) We wouldn't need him because we already know everything for our selves. 3) God wants to know where we stand with him. How strong our faith is.
I could get into this more, but it would have to be in a Bible study. I suggest you in reading the book "Seeing the unseen" by Joe Beam.

I've read the book of Rick Warren entitled "The Purpose Driven Life", it's a very good book, a nice guide on how to have a Purpose Driven Life. Worth reading.
