- What is my passion?
- What drives me?
- What do I want to accomplish?
- Which goals are ones to strive for and which ones are frivolous?
- Why at the age of thirty-something do I keep switching back and forth from what interests me?
- How can I be so absorbed in one thing and then a week later (or less) be completely not interested?
- How does one go about finding oneself?
- I know who I am in Christ but who am I outside of Him?
- Surely there is something more than just rearing my kiddos but what is it?
- What is my purpose? (Do not tell me to read The Purpose Driven Life or I will puke.)
- Who am I?
Let’s see if I can answer any of these questions…
- I like to read but what can I do with that?
- Not sure.
- Not sure at the moment…ask me tomorrow because I might have changed my mind.
- Not sure.
- Because I am indecisive.
- Because I get bored easily.
- Still trying to figure that one out.
- Still don’t know the answer to that one.
- Not sure.
- Don’t know.
- I don’t know who I am.
I wasn’t able to answer very many of the questions but I didn’t really expect to have any answers. These are questions I have had for quite some time and don’t ever want to voice them because then it seems like I am depressed or don’t like where I am in life. That’s hardly the case at all however I know there is more to me than what I am seeing right now. I want to do things but don’t know what I want to do. I’ve been praying for quite some time and still don’t have the answers but I have had God tell me some things are ‘no’ and some things are ‘not right now’.
Am I going through a mid-life crisis? What exactly is a mid-life crisis and if it were mid-life shouldn’t it be happening much later in life? How does one get out of a mid-life crisis if one were in one? Can’t I just get a sports car and my answers and be done with this?
I want a Mustang preferably one of the newer ones…like 2005 and up. I also want it in orange. If I going to get the car for the crisis I might as well get it in my happy color.

All very good questions. I would like to be able to answer them for myself. However, I think that IS the anwer for now. I don’t necessarily think it is a mid-life crisis. I just think that this is the Seeking stage of life. And, after all, doesn’t God say, “seek and you will find”? The only down side to that statement (of course) is that the immediately is not in it!! I know this probably doesn’t help. Just know that I am thinking of you!!
