I’ve always believed that everyone is born with a purpose in life. As far back as I can remember I wanted to be a mother and have many babies. Also I had the dream of being a nurse.
After living half my life and being miserable and unhappy most of the time. I finally found the path to my purpose in life. My purpose and dreams did not come in the way I thought they would but they did come.
I was blessed with many children and some needed the care of nurses and doctors. I did not attend nursing school, but I was taught by wonderful nurses and doctors how to care for those children at home that saved us from many doctor and hospital trips.
Over the years of caring for the children I learned how to love and let go, forgive and love everyone though it is hard to do sometimes, and many other things.
The most important thing that I learned was to trust God to help me because I had no clue how to even begin on this new journey in life. Once I realized he trusted me to do what my purpose was or he would not have given me the desire for them I was good to go.
Now in my later years in life I am blessed with peace and joy after doing what I was born to do in this life. I am so grateful for everyone placed in my life to teach and help me over the years.
If you have not found your purpose I pray you do and know the peace and joy that comes along with it when you act on it. Be blessed.
I do not participate in the daily or weekly prompts, but one of the prompts I saw encouraged me to do this post.

I was just wondering this morning if my work-life choices were pleasing to God since it was service-based, like you. The difference is, I wasn’t necessarily intentional, it was what my heart called me to do. Now that my aim is to BE intentional, I feel like I need to sacrifice something else, like maybe getting my way all the time. Does that make sense??

Yes, that totally makes sense in some cases. I spent most of my life caring for others. Now in the latter years of my life I intentionally aim to do what I want, when I want and where I want. I do not feel one iota of guilt doing so.

Being a mother is the greatest role ever. And nursing or taking care of kids is such a challenge (for me), and knowing that you did it all sounds amazing, Win. Indeed, you live in purpose.

This is a timely message for me today. Earlier I was thinking that I’m finding it easier to be at peace and more in the moment, and wondering because that’s never been me unless I make myself try, if that makes sense. And to read this today is just really helpful. Thank you!
