Broken dreams....how did I end up in this situation?

Have you ever just had one of those days, where you find something really crappy out and it totally crushes your dreams, and then you wonder to yourself "how the heck did I end up in this situation?". Ya? Well I'm totally in one of those situations right now, and let me tell you it SUCKS!

I have never felt so passionate about something, and then watch it get ripped out of my life so quickly. People always say that if you rip the band-aid off fast that it hurts less, but I'm not sure how much I believe that when you relate it back to real life. For the past two hours I have been asking myself, how the crap did I end up in this situation? How did I let myself fail so miserably that I ended up here. I mean, I sort of knew there was a possibility that this would happen; however, I was sort of reassured that it probably wouldn't happen, and then to find out that what I had been hoping for, isn't going to happen.

Ha, you're all probably asking what I am talking about, and it's a job. Now, you're probably thinking, dude, chill it's just a job..but this is a job that I am super passionate about, and really count on in order to afford school...without it, I can't pay for school.

But I am constantly asking myself, how did I end up like this. How did I let myself get in the situation where I am so upset that all I do is cry? I mean, I know theres worse problems in the world, but I feel like I have nothing to make of myself.
  • I'm 20 years old
  • I'm in my second year of University, with my 3rd major change...
  • I've failed classes
  • I'm losing my job
  • and I feel like my relationship with God is going down hill. I am definitely not relying on him as much as I should, and somedays I feel like I don't care.
I have nothing to make of myself. Ya, I'm still in school but I feel like my life isn't anything to be proud of.
I went on a missions trip to Haiti last year, and I'm going to Colombia this year. I feel like I didn't even make a difference or accomplish anything while I was in Haiti, and I'm not even sure if Colombia is where I am supposed to go.
I am a HUGE control freak, a HUGE stressor, a HUGE panicker, and a HUGE worrier. The fact that I don't know where my life is leading me, or what is going to happen with my future scares me.
I know I am supposed to rely on God and let him lead me, but I find that crazy hard.

I want to call myself a Christian, but as I think about it, am I really one? Am I really a Christian, or am I just living a life of labels; a life of lies; and a life of hiding behind this mask that I am too scared to take off and show the world who I truly am.

My mind is racing with a million thoughts and feelings. I feel like such a failure, an idiot, and like a loser because my life feels so screwed up.

Now, I don't want you guys to think that I am writing this because I'm some crazy super depressed emo kid, who wants attention or pity. I'm not any of the above, and I don't want peoples pity. I'm just ubber upset and I find blogging is the best way to vent, and let my thoughts out.
Take it or leave it. If you don't like it, then don't read my blog anymore.

Well, I hope your night is going much better than mine.
However, I do know within time things will get better, and my life will get back on track. I plan to get super amazing grades this semester, and I plan to make something of myself for the rest of this year and throughout the summer.
In the mean time, pray for me because I could use some serious prayer.


Peace...
Stephanie
