Your post was wonderful. Thank you for your thoughts on one's purpose. I believe everyone not only has a purpose but, we have a specific purpose. I too have struggled daily with my purpose. A recent quote I read was “If you're not dead then God’s not done”. Most of my life has been in ER pediatric nursing. I have no doubt this was my purpose in those years and as hard as my profession tried to kill me, it failed and I'm still here. My search is a weight much like Christians' weight on his shoulders. Finding one's purpose has to be the equivalent of reaching the Celestial City. It would be the time to take a deep breath, dig in, learn and proceed with the calling God has chosen only for you. So, I'm praying I will see past the fog of the overwhelming American war and see a clear path to affect change and help heal our land.
Thank you for sharing your insight, Dana. I can't imagine the emotional and physical investment doing your job. I think you're right that finding purpose - and meaning - requires much thoughtful introspection and patience, two things I need to work on! I appreciate your reading and contributing to this conversation.
