What has He set me apart for?

I have always wanted to live for a purpose much more greater and meaningful than the world had to offer. I was always afraid that I might miss God's will for  my life and what He wanted to do through me. Over and over I pleaded with the Lord that I wanted to be in his will. I asked him: what do you want me to do Lord?  You have done that and that through Moses, Joshua, David, Ruth, Esther...and the list goes on. But the real question was: what about me? what have you set me apart for?

I knew deep inside that there surely can't be any greater joy than someone living for God's purpose and finding themselves where God wants them to be, in hes will. I have always struggled to read Jeremiah 1:5. I read it over and over again in search for only one answer.
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.”
Yes, He has appointed him to be a prophet to the nation, but what about me?  what has He set me apart for? what has he appointed me to be? and in which ways does he want me to be a blessing to my nation?
Every time I look at the faces of my children, listen to them speak, or watch them smile directly at me; my heart moves and deep down I am always convinced that there is no place I rather be! 
who knows if He has appointed me to be here for such a time as this and in such away to also be a blessing to my nation. After all he has determined our appointed times and boundaries of where we will live even before time. I know for sure that these days with my children, every single one of them, they were written in to his book and he planned them all before a single one of them began.
Are they not part of this nation. Surely they are our future generation.

 They say: blood is thicker than water, but I say the spirit is thicker than blood.
 They might not be my very own but by God's grace they have captured my heart and I might as well  call them my own and treat them as my very own. He has entrusted them to me that He might speak into their lives, teach them, love them, and direct them back to himself through me, does he not then qualify me to be their Spiritual mom? I believe he did.

  My greatest prayer and hope is that I would live to see them truly becoming sons and daughters of the Living God and that I would be here to enjoy and celebrate those moments with them. And what ever God sows in to their lives now would change their life and bear fruits.
