Im 45. As far back as I can remember I never knew what I wanted to be, I never was great at anyone thing except a witty comeback. I've never felt I belong or had a calling or inspiration really. My kids are what I have done right. They will be gone to college in a few weeks on their own, and I have yet to get a life and don't know how to find one. I was widowed when I was 29, never had a healthy relationship since might not even recognize one if I saw it. Have worked many jobs but just for the paychecks really. What do I do now?

Don't get me wrong. I do appreciate that I must have done something right as a single mom because my kids turned out pretty darn well. And as for Jesus, God Christ etc; I looked for him for years! If there even is a God...I think it's high time he started to look for me. So don't go there even tho I know you mean well.

It sounds like you did just fine by your kids. Why can't you find some sense of worth in THAT - that is clearly a "life's purpose" that you handled well. I think what you're really searching for is something to believe in, something to devote yourself and your energies to. I strongly urge you to do two things.
(1) consider seaching for Christ and his salvation - it will show you much about your self-worth.
(2) but whether you do that or not, look for a worthwhile charity (worthwhile cause), where you will find plenty of people needing you, not just your money

Purpose of life is a life of purpose.
If you need help figuring out your purpose in life, there are resources that can help you. For instance go to The One Question that has free articles and exercises for finding your purpose in life. There's even an online test you can take. http://www.theonequestion.com

Pray, and allow God to give you the answer- Please dont feel your not good at anything, being a single mother is a VERY hard job and it appears youve done a beautiful job at it-good luck to you
