What am I even doing here?

Some mornings I wake up and have no idea what my purpose is supposed to be.

The youngest farm kids are able to get up and get ready for school on their own. The youngest farm girl is 18 and independent and works full time off farm. The oldest farm girl has flown the coop. The oldest farm boy is a daddy and husband and has a beautiful and independent life.

I feel like Thee Farmer and I are in between the empty nester and the still-responsible-for-a-few-things stage. We are in our fifties. Some of the parents of our boys’ friends are our older kids age!

Then doubt creeps in about my writing. Is anyone even reading this? Does it really matter? After all, I am doing exactly what God has called me to do. I write and tell the world about Jesus, and do it from a point of view that is relatable to all the tired and weary moms, right?

Let’s leave it at this today: I want to pray for you. What can I lift up for you today? You can email me at carolynwhite.me@gmail.com or leave a comment below. I read every email and comment.

You can also schedule a one-on-one consultation with me and we can talk about life, worries, joys, making plans via Zoom. Absolutely free.

Your challenge from me for today: Don’t grow weary in doing good. Take care of you. What can you do today to lift up your soul?

I’ll start: I’m going to go to the library. Then I am going to go buy new walking shoes, and am going for a long walk with God.

Finding my purpose right alongside you,

xoxo Carolyn
