What is God's purpose for your life?

This is a question I battle with daily. I was born into a Christian home (my parents divorced when I was 6)and I received the Holy Spirit when I was 26 years. Since I never had a proper family. (I dont have brothers or sisters)

I always desired to have a family of my own and as my talents lie in the arts and working with children to work with children. Although I have constantly prayed to God about this, for whatever reason I have never received this particular request.

Now I am turning 40 and I keep trying to know what really God wants for me. Does he want me to spend the rest of my life without anyone and alone. Holidays are the worst and if not for my knowing that God loves me and I have a better place in his eternal home life would be unbearable. The bottom line is even if you have 100 friends its not the same as having your own family.

So far in my life I dont see any purpose or plan that God has for me till I meet him one day. Are we not supposed to live a victorious life on earth too?
