I'm F.I.N.E.


Freaked Out
Insecure
Neurotic
Emotional
(That's from Italian Job by the way, I'm not that creative)

Being denied is the same as being rejected. There is an overwhelming sense of insecurity. It's like someone took a gun, aimed it at my self-esteem and hit it directly.
Not really. Yes, it sucks. Yes, all my plans for my future were based upon me getting accepted, but this is okay. God has amazing plans for my life, and if that's not where I'm supposed to be, okay. Or as Chelsey once put it "Who am I to argue with God?"
Now I am just in the place (or pit) of waiting to hear from the other colleges....any day now.... This waiting is as if someone hit the accelerator button on my stress. Before, I had been stressed because I was waiting any time this month. Now it's any time this week.
Just one school.
That's all I need.
Just one.
I pray that God has me going to one of them.
Because if he doesn't.
I may as well be sucked into a black hole...

On a much brighter note! Chelsey comes home tomorrow!! Yipee! I've missed her soooooo much and am so glad she'll be here through all this craziness. I need my best friend (and some Ben & Jerry's)

I'm standing closer to the edge than I should be allowed...


On Sunday we talked about how we get thrown into pits in life, and it's God's way of shaping us. That these pits are for our own good, and how we should use this pain to grow closer to God.
I'm in a season where I'm waiting and stressing and partially going out of my mind because my entire future is in three letters, and I have no idea when I will get them! It's this constant nagging in my mind that eats at me at all hours of the day. I want to make plans. I want to have some sort of direction. It feels like I'm on the edge of a cliff, and I can see the water, and I just want to jump, but I'm stuck. And not just stuck, but it's 120 degrees outside and I'm getting attacked by birds. All I want to do is jump off that damn cliff!
Not only that, but I'm alone. I feel so alone.
So, I'm supposed to find God in this? This is Him shaping me?
Well, I hope I find him soon, because this is not looking good for my mental health.
