Feeling.....overwhelmed?
I do not like it when I feel this way, but we all do at some point or another, it's a fact of life. And if there was a name for what I am sometimes, it would be a chronic worrier. I think people have more of a tendency to do this than others because I've tried desperately and sometimes I just can't help it. There might be something I want to do and I'll be like...what if it's too much money, or what if I'm too stressed or I don't have enough time, or...or....or. And I drive myself crazy, keep myself up thinking about it. It might be how I was raised to think, that can also have an impact. And then I like growing up, but it makes me feel sad too. I sit there in the morning guarding the pool and there are all these women with scads of cellulite and saggy skin and I wonder if they are lonely. And I think, I am going to be like that someday.....and I don't want to be!!!! Especially lonely....will I care that much when I'm old and all I want is some quiet? I don't know. And what the heck is my life going to consist of? I never want it to stop having a point, which is living for God, in everything I do I want that to be my goal. And it really hurts my brain when I try to figure out what that really means in my life. I just don't understand. And maybe I am doing it right now and maybe I am not. How do I know? And I don't really know what I'm trying to say, I feel like I'm searching all the time. And then there's that ache that I don't really want to dwell on. I hated/hate that feeling so much, I've never disliked anything as much in my whole life. It's like you want to shun the pain and embrace it at the same time. You want to be around people but you don't. What you really want to do is escape yourself but you know whatever the typical thing people do to escape themselves usually does more damage. But you can't escape yourself. I've tried. This feeling feels like what hell would feel like. indescribable pain and sadness. i'm really, really glad that hasn't happened in it's ugliest form in months. I know it could happen again, I mean....life hasn't stopped handing me it's share of hardships, I know this. I also know how to deal with it a bit better. One thing I have learned. Do. Not. Keep. Pain. Inside. Because it rots like death and that's what it can turn into. Sometimes if you tell someone, even if they don't understand. You got it out, you so to say "vomited it out of you" I have no idea why I started writing this blog, but I felt I needed to. I needed a ranting blog, to get the thoughts that have been jamming my brain. Clogging it. over flowing it. you get the point. I'm going to shower now, despite the contrary opinon that I don't. :)

Hey Leah,
I wanted to quote these lyrics when I got home, but I didn't understand why... so I started to look for answers, I looked into the lyrics and decided it wasn't for me, so much. So I thought of you, I know you do a good job, as much as you dont want to, of hiding whats going on inside, let me connect for a minute.
(TFK - When In Doubt - Pre-course)
Then I ask have you ever felt abandoned?
Felt so lost that you were stranded,
Just like all the walls are closing in
And you were left inside
Have you ever felt like your days were numbered?
Stuck under a tree in thunder
Seems to be no way out
But there is One when in doubt
You said that you want to know what your heading for. You said you alaways want a point for existing, something to live for. I know you do live for God, but think about this for a moment. We as the creatures we are always think of what we are going to do in life as a career. I think as Christians we have to realize that our career isn't who we are, who we are is Christians (litle christ's). So what Im saying is, you may find the answers your looking for when you devote all you are into knowing Jesus intimantly. I mean, we say we want to be like Christ, but the more time I spend in class I find that I dont really know who Christ is anymore. He is my savior, king, friend, but there is so much more to Him than that. So maby if we devote ourselves to knowing who He is, we will be able to be more like Him, and than, only than will we determine what our 'purpose' for living is.
I may be far off the mark again, it wouldn't be first, and Im sure nto my last. Have a good week Leah, Im praying for you as much as I can remember too.
