Questions

So I've been questioning my future, a lot.
I know people say we should live in the now and enjoy it .
And I know I should trust God has a plan for me.
And I do. I am sure he didn't die for me in the cross just to leave it all to chance.
I know he died for me because he loved me so much he sent me here to this earth
for a reason.
I am just not sure he told me what that reason was.
I mean what is the point of me existing?
What am I suppose to do with this magnificent gift God gave me?
I mean come on Jesus Christ Died for me, I am pretty sure he didn't do it so I could be on Facebook
or so I could watch the new twilight movie. No I am sure God had a greater purpose for me.
But what?
I've been told that God does tell me but that I don't listen, but if that is the case
what can I do to listen?
A friend of mine told  me today that I can't find happiness if i am not even capable of defining it. So here is:
a) I need to make my faith grow
b) I need time with my family
c) I'd love a family of my own, with the loving husband, the little rascals, the dog, the whitepicket fence
d) Travel!
e) Find a job in Wrtting
Ok so the list seems simple enough,
i mean apparently i am not exsacly deep i am more of a cliche,
but oh well,  to each its own.
I wish I were smarter or more spiritual.
I am not sure which one would allow me to understand God's plan for me. 
I just need an answer I need to know what to do, and how to do it.
Wouldn't it be awsome if life came with a manual. not that II ever follow manuals,
but i do look at the pictures,
that helps!
I've built bookcases, chairs and desks just from manual pictures,
I could atleast get an idea of my life
if i had pictures.
So readers, do you know your life plan yet?
How did you discover it?
