Some times you are thrown a curve ball and you have to decide in a split second whether to swing or take the ball. In my 2-3 week pause I was thrown a big curve ball and I am seriously relying on God to get me through this one. But ya know I had a plan and sometimes you just can't have your own plan because it's not up to you. It's really hard waiting for the signs to show up for the next step for what I should do next (sorry I am being very vague here but to get the message across details don't really matter) but I know it will be worth it in the end. If I hurry too much then I may just run to Disney World tomorrow and ruin all chances of keeping a good job close to school and family because ya know Disney is just way too tempting!
I have never had such a hard confusing decision to make in my life. I have been so preoccupied with this one thing that I have sort of forgotten to pray or read the Bible sometimes and then I find myself so frustrated because I want answers NOW! But to find those signs and my answers I need to do those important things or I will just continue to be frustrated. I have found myself down in the valley A LOT the past couple weeks. I have mastered the mountainous show but when I am home, I am so confused on what to do, so very lost wandering through the valley.
So what do I do? I keep the faith, keep my chin up, make the right decisions and stay happy because even though I am walking through the valley right now, I am not alone. (I was told this on church a couple Sundays ago.) Although I may be having troubles on the inside they don't need to spill out on everything on the outside. I can still smile on the outside to make someone else's day a little better. These decisions are consuming every thought in my head but I've got to try to keep positive and make the right decision.
If you find yourself in a similar situation, I've left it vague enough to fit almost any hard decision in here, then just be patient and look up to God. A couple of Sundays ago I was told the mountain is where you go to be with God but the valley is where God comes to be with you. So you aren't alone in the valley, you will get through it.
I can feel myself getting through this valley very soon. I am at the end of it now. Just have the biggest decision to make now before I can start climbing the mountain again.
Well I just had to share a (vague) recap of the past couple weeks and how life as a Christian is still hard but so very worth it. Even though I don't have very many friends I never feel totally alone. He is always in my heart.
So have a good week every one and hopefully this time next week I will have a decision made and can share the next major step in my life.
Stay Happy!!
Chin up!
