Hey friends. I don't really know why I am writing this, maybe one of you have gone through or you are going through a similar situation as I am. I just really need words of wisdom and such.. So yeah.


This fall, I was supposed to go back to school, but, as some of you know, I ran in to some financial difficulties. I will not be returning to school till maybe next semester. I have come to terms with it, but,I still feel bitter and annoyed with my friends who are moving back on campus and who are getting ready for their schedules to completely change. For their life to be consisted of chaos and craziness.

Call me crazy, insane, jealous, what ever. I want to have so much homework that I can not go anywhere(maybe). I want to be cramming for tests, I want to have fellowship with my peers, I want the reassurance that I AM going somewhere in life instead of sitting here. Dormant. Doing nothing.

I am trying to use this time to focus on His plan for my life, but, it seems as if my negative emotions are starting to get a hold of me. I am not sure what I need to do.. I have been praying that He take over my heart and use me in my current status of a working girl. I know He has big plans for my life and I know that what ever His plan is, will be better than ANY plan I could have ever imagined for myself.

But anyways, any advice would be helpful. Thanks!!!!



Love y'all!!!

Hi Bailey,
I want to tell you this is my opinion of your words
I think you just need to hear it from someone else, because when I read your words you are doing what you need to
I think you are exactly where God wants you and it sounds like you know this and you are asking for his guidence as to what He wants of you, I see you doing as He wants.
Now I also see that satan sees this also and is attacking your thoughts

Call me crazy, insane, jealous, what ever.

I still feel bitter and annoyed with my friends

it seems as if my negative emotions are starting to get a hold of me. I am not sure what I need to do..

Can you see it now? Jealous, bitter,negative emotions and confusion All are satans tools to take away from God.
I think you are doing what He wants and you are doing it in the right way, just do me one favor....just as you would cry out to God for His help, I want you to vocally tell satan NO!!! you will NOT stop me from doing what God expects of me!!
Hang in there Sis and keep doing what your doing

Been there! Its not always an easy place to be... but!!!! His ways are not our ways. Sometimes we believe we are in a dry desert place...moving nowhere (in our opinion), BUT, God knows where we are. He prepares us in these times too...for the next step HE wants us to take. So, give it to Him and trust Him with what He's doing through this time. The waiting is the often the hardest part...but, He knows what He's doing and where He's leading you. Sometimes its a time for rest thats much needed for the next step, sometimes its to grow patience and or faith in us. We dont always know, but He does. Trust Him. He has your best interest at heart.

In Jesus,
love momo

You've already gotten some good advice from the other two. So, not sure I can add much, especially given that you already are well aware that God has long term plans for you.

But I just wanted to add one thing. Namely, I've also been through similar situations, was shattered at the time. But now, with hindsight, can clearly see that what I personally desired was not necessarily what God wanted.

My point is that I now know that with hindsight. You are not yet at the stage of looking back at it with hindsight, so it will be tough for a little while, no doubt. That's human. And we are all, after all, human.

But it's a real strength for you that you already concede that The Lord knows best. While I can never know what He has in store for you, I feel that He might reveal it to you sooner rather than later.

God bless.

Sister, I was just thinking today about something I didn't get this fall that others got. I was upset and wondering why why why!!!!

Then it came to me that it was a blessing. God was protecting me. I don't know from what or how, but I'm certain His will worked out and I'm better for it. Cause He takes care of His. Perhaps this was Gods hand as He knows what may have been and is working out something even better.

I hope this helps. You've got lots of great responses!

May God bring you peace and understanding. He loves you dearly and wants the very best for you. Take care dear one.
