Spiritutal Gifts

hey yall..........so i have been meeting with my neighbors kids and they all are in high school and all three are boys and are very different, they want to know more about Christ and what he can do and who he is but the oldest asked me a question "How can i find my purpose of who i am suppose to be within Christ?" i was mind blown when a 17 year old asked me that. i all knew at the time that it is a process and that God can and will show you over time what your purpose is ... i told the young man that God created us in his image and that we all have a special gift given from God such as encouragement or speaking or listening or giving joy or hope to those who need it and he has asked me to help him find his spiritual gift from God but the thing is i don't know how ......i told him that God showed me when i was worshiping what i was suppose to do and what i was made to give to people but i dont know ant scripture to show him does anyone know of any good ones?

To leave or not to leave . that is the question.

Is it wrong to leave all my problems and start over new somewhere else?


well i just read in Jonah that he ran from what God asked him to do but i am not sure if what i am doing is a request from God because i am in a relationship that is redirecting my life in a negative way and i continue am looking for the light but i do not see it , God does come thru every time when i need him. Would God punish us if we are to run from our problems instead of relying in him to help us? I want to leave but i already would feel guilty and feel as if i have done something terribly wrong why is that? Is God making feel this way so i don't leave or is there a hidden purpose for me staying that i don't know yet. i have read in 1 Corinthians 7:32 that a man unmarried can be free from concerns and worry from this life and only worry about how to please the Lord. Can this be applied to a relationship? i think so. ..........if my relationship is very difficult am i allowed to not want it anymore? some people would say don't run from your problems and don't be  a coward and etc and i am not running for say i just don't want to be in the situation i am currently in right now it is affecting my faith my personal believes and my future. I know God has a plan for me but why should i be stuck in a choice I made. I want to better myself and not be stuck in the choices i made so if i choose to go after Christ and give up the relationship i am in to want a better relationship with Christ then why do i feel so burden and guilty to stay?
