Torn...
So, I'm torn about a lot of things in my life. Kinda wish it wasn't so hard to make some of these decisions. I trust that the Lord will help me along my path towards my goals and aspirations, but it's so hard when so much in my life is so unsure. I'm learning to trust and rely upon the Lord for everything because I've learned that I can't do it on my own. Every time I've tried to do things entirely on my own, I trip and fall and make a big mess. Luckily, I've been able to learn from most of these falls and have slowly improved and progressed (although sometimes it's been painstaking slow). I don't know where to go from here. Do I stick around? Or do I venture out into the wide unknown and delve into new expereinces? If I do go elsewhere, I leave so much behind that I've worked so hard to develop and establish. If I stay, I'm putting my trust in things that are just as unstable as if I were to go elsewhere. It's so hard to make the decision! I'm not sure what I'm doing and where I'm going. There are certain things I'd really like to work out, if it's in my best interest. However, it is yet to be seen if all these things are truly in my best interest. I've learned lately not to "put all my eggs in one basket" and depend entirely on a specific thing to work out for me. I've been burned several times in the past year or so where I can remember distinctly being surprised at the curveball that I've been thrown. I've managed to survive the changes in my life and weather the "storms" well. It appears, though, that I'm facing a whole new storm with completely different challenges and opportunities. I pray daily for the peace to know what is right or at least where to go. I've learned not to press the issue as to why I'm doing what I'm doing, only to know that what I am doing or should be doing is right. And, I have received some confirmation affirming that I'm on the right path. I'm scared because I'm at a crossroad. In one aspect, I choose this option and possibly forego an awesome opportunity that could arise if I were to be just patient and wait it out. But then again, that's a hope and not yet a reality (and only time will tell if it becomes reality). But if I stay, there's no promising that things will work out for me. In another aspect, I can choose to stay and develop things and work towards a great opportunity. However, I am once again relying that things will work out. It is yet to be seen whether or not this opportunity will pan out for me. There's too many assumptions going on to be fully confident where this is going. So many choices with little defined direction. Each decision has good opportunities no matter which I choose. But which one will help me achieve those life-long goals that I have? Is it the quick fix of starting over? Or do I patiently wait it out and hope for the best? Oh how lost I feel!
