Right now things are pretty crappy in the life of Shawn. I have so much stuff to do that its not even funny! On top of tests and papers, my mind is constanlty hindered about thoughts of my future. I have absolutely no idea where I am going in my life; that is one question that I would definitely like to have answered in my life! Where is my God leading me in life? Right now, I'm stuck in a rut; I'm going to classes, but I just don't know why. I feel useless because it just seems that I am wasting all my time at college. I'm not making strides toward any type of goal or accomplishment. I can't stand the feeling of not knowing what I will be doing within the next two years! I cry out to God daily and earnestly ask Him to show me what to do, but I just don't see or hear his answer. Maybe he is yelling it at me, but I am too deaf to hear Him or too blind to see Him. I can't stand the pain anymore! I am tired of feeling useless and not knowing where my path is taking me. I just want to be happy in life, and I wish my Lord would clearly show me how! Almost everyone else I know have a much clearer direction than I do, and I am so jealous! I want that feeling of confidence of knowing what I am doing in life! I just hope that God shows me soon because the pain is too hard to bear any more; I just can't stand the pressure any longer!filed under: personal
Being happy does not equate with knowing what you want to do with the rest of your life. Sure it would seem to take some pressure off, but why put so much pressure on yourself now? This IS the best years of your life! Enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteVery few people your age REALLY know what they want to do with the rest of their life. Not having everything laid out in some specific plan leaves you more flexible to where God may lead you in the future. God doesn't always (usually never) do things on our time. His answer to me is usually "Be patient, wait on My time, and watch what I do." He never fails us! Just don't get so frustrated when God doesn't answer immediately.
Don't be so afraid of not knowing God's will for your life that you don't do anything. Find something you enjoy doing and find a way to get paid for it. God can't lead us if we are not moving in some direction. Stay close to God and enjoy life!
PS - Make sure you are always with your friends when you feel this way. Don't be alone! And friends, don't let him be alone.
Man, I'm praying for you. I am sortof in the same boat with you. I'm very unsure about my future. If you need to talk, please come see me. Love ya man.
ReplyDeleteShawn I love you!! I know this is hard for you, but I also know that you will find God's direction for your life. A friend of mine once told me that God's plan for you is so cemented and has been since the beginning of time that there is nothing you could do to mess it up. Shawn the only advice I can give you is to let yourself be made and molded by they "Potters Hand", and to be willing to go where ever he takes you. Shawn, I will pray for you, and come talk to me if you need me, which, we might have to have one of our "talks" soon. LOve ya Shawn!!
ReplyDeleteGuys, thank you so much for the comments (and emails)! I can't describe how much it has encouraged me; your kind words has certainly uplifted my spirit, and I cannot thank you enough for that! I can certainly praise the Lord for the GREAT friends (and concerned readers) that He has put in my life. I have been blessed with such wonderful friends! Thank you, again, for the wonderful encouragement that has left me speechless! :o)
