I hate to make a prayer thread my first thread as soon as I return, but alas.
I want to be stronger. Better. I want to become the man God has intended for me to be. I've grown so much stronger in faith these past few months, and I want it to continue. Even so, I still fall short, and when I do...I hate myself for it. After at ime I can forgive myself, but I don't like failure.
Another thing...I'm 18. My senior year is going by faster than I ever imagined it could. Soon, I'll be graduating, and frankly...I have no clue what I want to go into. I'm pretty sure about the colleges I want to go to, but other than that, nothing. And it scares me...I guess growing up came faster than expected. Leaving all friends behind, that sort of thing. We all go through it, but that doens't make it much easier.
And I also want to thank all of you for being here for me before, when I was weaker and struggling so much. I truly appreciate it - without all of your encouragement I would have had a much harder time. Thank you.

I'm praying for you, most definitely. And I'm glad you forgive yourself. It is the only way we can love ourselves as Jesus loved us.
I also went into college without knowing what I really wanted to go into. I did not find my passion in life until much later. I got a bachelor's in mechanical engineering, then found Jesus, now I want to be a novelist. I think the moral of that story is God knows exactly what we need while we don't most of the time. I say keep praying on the subject of your future. God will tell you what to do.

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. - James 1:2-4.
Remember - the Lord will be with you - always.

I'm also a senior this year, and I had those same feelings over the summer. I've always pretty much known what I was going to do, but for awhile I had a serious spiritual crisis and then had absolutely no idea what I was supposed to do. It's a really long story, but the point is you should ask God to show you where He wants you, like Kamille said, and He'll show you through the strangest ways(friends, T.V., school, music, *anything*).

I know exactly how you feel, man. I'm praying.
