Have you ever felt the pressure to succeed in this life?To just be great, have an excellent job that brings in a lot of money . . . the pressure to just do.To do more than just be average, to come up with all these ideas that inevitably just end up in a box somewhere undiscovered by society.The presure to have it all together, to not struggle, ever!To be more & somehow within it all . . . lose yourself & your identity as a person; as an individual.

I have so many questions right now.Like was I brought here to Seattle to just struggle?To be closer to God; I know that, but now I have concerns about finances.But I know Jehoveh Jireh, He's my provider.But I also know that God must have something down the road waiting for me like He had Annanias waiting for Paul when he was turned from Saul on the road to Damascus & became blind.In the past experiences I've had, I've learned not to want to see in the future.I also know that if I did have that talent that I may be depressed all the time because my heart wouldn't be able to handle all of it.

I know I don't want to go into Interior Design.Right now has been the worst ever for me, it's the first time I've not enjoyed drawing.It's like I make it a burden for homework.Now that I have to draw all these things, it's no fun anymore.

I know I want to be totally surrendered to God, but I think that's what is frightening me the most.To not be in control of my life; to say "here God, you take the wheel & I'll just ride & watch."You know how nervous I get riding in the passenger side!

So it's a for sure thing that I still want to major in Spanish.But now I have to deicide what my career is going to be.I have to decide soon . . . Sometimes I wish it was easier to know what career path to follow, I wish that God could just lay my life plans out in front of me so I could see where I'm suppose to end up.I want to have a good job that brings in a decent income, but that is where I leave off & God takes the lead.

You Are 24 Years Old

Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe.

13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.

20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.

30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more!

40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.
