Almost there

This week I have been receiving emails telling me I need to plan for the future and the paperwork involved is overwhelming to me. How can I think beyond getting the papers and other assignments that are requiring more time than I seem to have and think about my future? What classes will you be taking for the next few semesters? I don't know I am still dealing with this one! Do I know where I want to internship at? NO! I have no idea where I will be living! When do you plan on graduating and with what minors or endorsements? I am sure I have a file somewhere that has all this listed but I can't find my desk right now and my head is feeling like it wants to explode.
I am trying not to be stressed butI will admit that lately fear of the unknown has been creeping in and I am not enjoying the feeling at all. To top it off my children and I have been wrestling with a major decision that can affect some of these issues I am having to deal with. AHHHHHHHHHHHH! My friends are beginning to question my sanity that is for sure.
I am a person that believes He has plans for all of us and we are to believe that everything happens for a reason. The other day I was talking to one of my Pastors and I asked him how I can tell if this major decision is being made for selfish reasons or is He really sending down a new path? I am not one to question Him but will question myself at times. I was told to look for doors being closed or opened and of course to be prayer and meditation to hear the words. I am trying and it seems that doors are closing in some areas and opening in others. I am praying that the decisions I am making are being done with his guidance.
OK I am feeling calmer as I write this. I am almost there. There is a reason we go through things. We must at times bear the tribulations so that we can enjoy the fruit at the end. I will survive this- I am almost there. Hang in there-We are almost there! Almost there- but where is there?

  1. Carrie hang in there! It sounds like you have some major decision making ahead of you, but it sounds like you are doing it right. I hope everything works out. And it always seems like when you look back on these times of crisis you can see why they happened.
