A breath away from a breaking thread....
So it's getting to be that time of year again. Summer is here and all that comes with it. Heat lightning, summer storms, the smell of blooming flowers... all of which I'm entirely accustomed to and usually excited about. But something that usually comes hand in hand with summertime is missing this year: my happiness. If I'm being honest, I'm hanging on by a thread these days. During this time of year I'm usually bouncing off the walls with energy and love for the hot weather and especially after the events of the past two weeks I should be extremely happy and motivated. I just participated in Class Day, one of the most emotional experiences of my life, watched my big sis and best friend walk across the stage at graduation and said goodbye to some of the best women I've ever met. I should be happy. I can't pretend that I am though. Every day it gets a little bit harder to keep that thread attached, I'm almost to my breaking point. This has possibly been one of the hardest semesters of my life and now that I'm facing not being able to go back to school in the fall I would give up anything to relive those moments I took for granted. Meredith College is my identity and who I am, it is home to me when I don't feel like anywhere else is home and now I can't go back and it's killing me every single day to face that reality. I got my dream job since I was a little girl this summer and I'm finding hard to be excited about it when I don't know what I'm going to do with my life come August. What am I going to do? I try to stay positive and think about the good things but I keep coming back to the one thing in life I've worked so hard for that is being taken away from me, and I don't understand why. I've been the good kid. I graduated 21st in my class, I did the work in college, I worked full time, paid my bills, everything. I prayed to God every single night that he would help me figure out a way and now I'm so close to giving up. I don't know if it's possibly for me to face anymore disappointment in my life before I spontaneously com-bust. I'm done believing that "things will work out for the best" because that's bullshit. I just want a normal day again, where I'm able to be happy and not want to drive my car off a bridge because of this stupid mess. Those normal days are long gone and I don't know when they are coming back but I hope that they will. I want to be able to hang on by more than a thread, I don't want to be terrified to drive my car, and I don't want to hurt. I prayed for help and guidance and it never came, so what am I supposed to do now?

you're doing the right thing by not trying to be alone in this. Asking for help is exactly what you need to do, and that is what you are doing.
ReplyDelete-just take one day at a time.
-If you truly want to hang on, by more than just a thread, this is the time to really press into God. He truly does care about you and He understands you better than anyone could.
-just because help and guidance have not yet come, does not mean they won't ever come. It just takes time. Keep the faith and keep praying and asking God what He would have for you in august. Help and guidance will come in time.
-Is there anything that I or another person can do/say to help?/guide you?
-a simple thing you can do- is find something that you really enjoy (and something that brings you happiness) and do it, no matter how simple or easy it is.
-another thing you can do is talk to some people who you know that can mentor you and ask them for advice.
-I believe that the best thing for you to do now is to press into God. Pray, read a bible, spend time in His word, listen to what He has to say. In times of struggle, we need to run to God, not run away from Him. (not that you are, i'm just saying in general). This would also be a time when the enemy could/would come in and attack you.
-the one thing not to do- is don't let the enemy win in this situation. don't let him take a foothold in your life.

I hope you like this song. It means a lot to me and this song speaks a lot to me. Whenever i'm going through a tough time and i don't know what to do, this song reminds me that Jesus hols me together- no matter what situation I am in.
