Where to go from here...

[agasfas]

I just have so much on my mind recently I don't know what to do.

First off is the question of where life will lead me. Currently I'm a Junior in college and I have doubts once again about my major. I was enrolled in one summer class taking an advanced mathmatics class and subconsciously thinking, "Do I really want to teach math? Why do I want to know this, and why am I doubting myself?"

I guess the conclusion I've come to address is that a degree in teaching and mathmatics is not for me. So in result I decided to drop it. It wasn't that I couldn't do it, but rather it's not what I really want to be doing in my life. For the past month I've been really racking my mind over what I really want to do and I just can't find any answers. Occasionally I stay up late just wondering what's next? At times I fear that if I wait too long it'll be too late to do anything. Plus not having much money, I can't really afford to take semester after semester of classes I don't need. I've been doing a lot of praying lately for guideness and I still don't know... I ask that you please pray for guidance. That the Lord will help guide me in the right direction where life needs to take me. I'm just so confused and somewhat scared.


My second request has to do with a personal matter that needs to changed. Recently I saw a person in the mirror I did not want to be like. Things that take me further and further away from Christ. And to become spiritually closer to Christ, I must make these changes. So I must. It's really hard and I occasionally stumble... So I also ask that y'all please pray that the Lord will be able to help me to become strong. Strong enough to endure the pressure and stronger in my relationship with Christ.

I apologize for the lengthy request, but I would really appreciate as much support as I can get searching for the help and answers I seek. Again, thank you

I'm praying that God will guide you.

Bro, I'll surely be praying for you. Everyone's had these feelings at some time or another. The truth is, all of our futures are so simple, it can be baffling. We all have a similar future with similar things to do: Follow Jesus with all of our hearts, love Him, cherish Him, enjoy Him, tell people about Him. Friend, God has wonderful plans for you. Yeah, it's hard to be unsure of the future, but such is the life of faith. You're young (we're both young) and you have so many years to accomplish incredible things for the kingdom of God. God wants to do exceedingly abundantly beyond all that you can ask, think or imagine. Just let Him do it.

As for your personal struggle, the Spirit will empower you to achieve victory to the glory of God. It will be so amazing that you won't be able to explain it.

"He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it."

1 Thessalonians 5:24

Sure, I'll be praying for you. I've been wondering about myself and my future a lot too. I'll keep you in my prayers.

You are in my prayers as well. I'm 24 and I still feel this way a lot of times. Have faith in God, and don't feel like time is running out on you. God can do anything at any time.

I will also pray for your spiritual life.

Hang in there, agasfas. Be patient and watchful. God will not fail you. *hug*

I'm praying for you, agasfas.

Hey I thought this might help you...

If my life was a book, and the last several months was a chapter, then the title of the chapter would be: God, I know what your will is, why don’t you agree?

A know a lot of people struggle with what to do with their lives. Particularly when it comes to serving God. It is always a debate over service to God, service to self, service to family, service to the world…and so on. Well I too was at that point. My struggle was whether I should get a good paying secure job (that I don’t love,) or do what I do love (writing sci-fi stories.) Being a writer is not is secure job, particularly when tonight’s dinner rests on whether or not the audience likes the book. It’s a gamble, and I was unsure if I wanted to make it. “Throw my life into becoming an author, am I crazy?â€

Dude, that blessed me. Praise God for giving you His gift.

I really appreciate all of y'alls prayers and and words of encouragement, it really means a lot to me. Sometimes its the small things that really make the most impact, and y'alls encouragement is it. Although I'm still uncertain of where and how God will lead me, I will continue to pray for his guideness and have faith in Him.

And although I continually struggle with some issues in my life, I'm becoming stronger everyday. With Jesus's guideness, I know I will be able to overcome any obstacle.

Again, I can't thank y'all enough. Sometimes it's that little bit of support and reassurance from others that really help. Thank you.

I'm so sorry I'm late on the request. I will certainly be praying for you, agafas.

I guess now would be as good a time as ever for me to mention how much I appreciate you on the boards. You have a such a sweet spirit. I know you probably think "how the crud does she think she can know that from a message board", but just from reading your answers to people prayer requestions, I can tell what a big loving heart you have. And I'm sure that's something you will be rewarded for by God.
