I
have been wondering lately what my purpose in life is? I feel like up
to this point I have not really achieved much with my life.
I am
towards the middle of my thirties and I have never had a boyfriend, I
do not feel that this is the most important thing to have achieved
but I feel that quite a few other people judge me about this, because
to them this is the most important thing. I know that a lot of people
do not think like that but I get a lot of societal messages that the
most important thing is to find a life partner and to settle down
with them.
I
personally believe that this is not the most important thing and that
you can be perfectly happy in yourself without someone to partner
with. It is more important to have people in your life who are honest
with you and will support you know matter what. You also need to be
happy within yourself and not let others tell you how you should be
(I know that is a bit of a weird thing to say considering that I was
saying that I worry about what other people think but I am personally
working on not worrying so much about what other people think).
I
have also been wondering about about my purpose lately because once
again I find myself in a position where I a currently between jobs. I
new that this was happening but there was a possibility that my
previous job was going to be extended, but that did not eventuate. I
feel tht I have found my calling but due to the fact that I do not
seem to be able to find a job that lasts longer than a year it has
got me wondering again. I know that I am just letting my worries rule
my head and that I should just trust God but I am finding that
difficult because I have lacked stability in my recent life and I do
not cope very well with change. It feels like I am never going to be
able to find the stability that I crave.
We can love you, but only One can give us stability.
ReplyDeleteThat was more an exercise in writing.
ReplyDeleteReally interesting to hear your thoughts Beth. I think there is something within us that often asks these questions and is searching for meaning. It’s great to share a common faith with you.
