Missions

So all my life I've been preparing for my mission...motherhood and now I am here and I love it!!!:)  But I've recently come to realize that my life is more than just being a mother...I know I'm a little slow, but at least I got here!!!!:)  I'm not sure exactly what my mission is, but I've recently been on a discovery to find out what it is.  I have been learning like crazy it feels like.
I read a post about having two missions...one is family and the other is organization (however you want to define that).  That is part of what made me realize that my mission is more than raising children.
Oh and then there is the idea that if you had an unlimited supply of money what would you do -- that is connected to your purpose.  And I decided what I would do...it sounds so crazy, but I want to create an organization to help homeless people get off the streets and have some job skills and have a home that they can put on their job applications.  In thinking about it more I decided that my base operation would be an organic farm, but with DH's engineering  skills and desire to take an idea and make it work who knows what we could morph into!!:)
 I went to the "Celebration of Real Beauty" event in March (btw, a plug for that, it is super awesome, every woman should go the next one is in September www.acelebrationofrealbeauty.com) and I connected with two awesome people there.  The first taught me about vision boards (a post for another day) and the second told me about a gift that I have.  I have an ability to connect emotionally with people. As I have thought about that, I see it all over my life. I've also been told to use my talents to bless the lives of others, so knowing that this connection I have is a gift (talent) I know somehow that plays into my mission. 
 Anyway, I've also been trying to study about missions in the scriptures.  Moses had a mission that he didn't expect nor want, so did Saul/Paul.  So I think that when we discover our mission we may not have planned on that mission, but I know the Lord will prepare us and make us equal to the tasks that he gives us!!:)
