Life is such an amazing enigma....

I'm finally at a place where I'm starting to feel as if
there will be a life after the life that was.....and then I realized something,
not so much a new realization, but the resurfacing of an old haunting feeling,
"What exactly is my purpose?"
This is a conversation that God and I have had off and on
for many years. I have a secret that I'll share with you. I have never truly
known what my purpose in life was. I thought my only purpose was to be a wife
and then a mother. I thank God daily for my children, they're the shining
embers in what I would call the ashes of a marriage past. But I'm talking about
that over all great purpose.
Does anyone every know what their purpose in life really is?
I have no idea, but it's about time that I started finding out.
Jeremiah 11-14
11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD,
“plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.
13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will
be found by you,” declares the LORD, “and will bring you back from
captivity.
It's this promise that I'm going to lean on. I am no longer
captive to a relationship that gave me no sunlight. Now there's nothing in my
way to keep me from growing accept for me. I don't have to know right now what
my purpose is, but I do know that I have one and that it will be good.

*Update - I'm still seeking my purpose.....I don't really know if it's one of those things that we really aren't meant to figure out.
