What do I live for?

Our lives are but a "mist." We are here today and gone tomorrow. So, what is it that I live for? Do I live for the mission that God has given me, the calling I feel so strongly to accomplish? Or do I live for God? That may seem like the same thing, but for me, lately, it's not. God has given me a calling, but He knows how He wants it to play out. If I live for the calling, then what happens when God adjusts or changes that calling? Then my whole life and stability are challenged. BUT, when I live for God, no matter my location or calling, my life purpose will be the same. I can live for God as a missionary in Ukraine, as a doctor in the States, as a store worker in Spain, etc. My occupation and what fills my everyday life isn't as important as my life with Christ. As long as I'm with Him, I'm fulfilling my purpose each day, and thanks to the cross, I can be with Him everyday!!! Praise God!!!
