So many questions

Today I just started thinking about everything that is going on in my life and how everything is going to change after the completion of this summer.Where am I going to find solice?More than ever before, I see that friends have goals for their lives and I have my own goals.But next year I will be at a college where none of my friends are going and I have to figure out where my strength is going to be found.Is it going to be found in Christ alone?Am I going to be out of my comfort zone enough to rely on the One of whom I take my strength, of whom I can find refuge when those long days come?I guess everything just hit me all at once, I keep asking myself what my motives are, if they are pure and focused on God.Sometimes I have trouble sorting things out in my head and staying focused.I often wonder if my motives match up to what God has for me in the future.So many questions seem to ping pong around in my head.Am I ever going to meet that "special" guy?Am I going to have a family of my own?What kind of job am I going to have?Is everyone going to change?Where am I going to be in 10 years?How will I ever cope in this new stage of my life?And then I think . . . these questions are normal, and yes Romans 8:28 says that, "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." So I just hope that this knot in my stomach goes away soon.It gets tiring trying to find a solution for all these thoughts. . . .So the plan today was to answer the meaningful questions in life, but sometimes even though it may seem hard, sometimes it is better to leave them unanswered.
