Hello alittlehoshime.

I so appreciated reading this thread. I'll just say I'm over 30, married with kids, and I have always felt lost and confused in my life, sort of like I'm just floating along with the breeze, like there's some place I'm supposed to be but haven't found it. I recently left my job through an early retirement offer.I plan to use this time to figure out what I am really supposed to be doing (both personally and careerwise). One of my former coworkers gave "The Purpose Driven Life" to me as a gift. But I realise that I have been afraid to read it because of the questions quoted by mylife4him. Serving means closeness, and closeness has always been a major issue for me. I feel that I'm on the edge of a major life change and I know that answering those questions will be a huge part of figuring myself out. I guess I just want to say thanks for giving me a different way to look at my situation.
