LIFE

great news--this one might be a little long!

I'm finally in the mood to take some time and write about my life on here. Its not going to be that exciting, but if you take the time to read it, thank you :)

To make a long story short: im going to through a quarter life-crisis. heres the long story:

Lately I've been trying to figure out God's plan for me. Sometimes i really wish he could just tell me EXACTLY what i need to do so i know what i need to be striving for. i LOVE lipscomb and i definitely feel that God has put me there for a reason. The friends i have there are incredible. The way we all fit together is definitely something God lead us to. I wouldnt trade my life there for anything right now..and thats a pretty crazy thing to say.

The root to all of my confusion is because of one person. If you know me well then you know who im talking about. I cant figure out if he is something I want for myself or he is something God wants for me. That is something i want to know more than anything. If i had the opportunity to ask God ONE question it would be if this guy is supposed to be in my life forever. I dont feel like sharing every detail with everyone but if you could just send a prayer or two my way to help me figure out what God wants me to do, that would be AWESOME. i know how powerful prayer can be and that is really the only thing i can turn to right now. i need to TAKE GOD'S HINTS but thats so hard sometimes because they arent always what I want.

but i can say one thing with confidence--that is if Jesus were to come to me today and ask me to go with Him and leave everything behind, i would without hesitation. Im not saying my life is horrible by any means haha..its AMAZING and im way too blessed. i have THE BEST family ever, and amazing friends, and way too many material blessings. but to be with jesus would be hands down the best thing that could ever happen to me.

until i figure all this out, im just going to do my best to go day to day without worrying, just trusting in God to show me the path he has for me. it hasbt been easy for me but im going to keep trying, perserverence is the key.

Feel free to leave some advice if you have any to give that would be wonderful!

I loveyou all so very much!

    Tyler Brown's mom here - remember me? I'll be praying for you that you make the right decision about "this guy." Ask yourself if he will help you get to heaven. Will he make life as a Christian easier or harder. Will you be able to travel on the road to heaven together?

    that's exactly what i was thinking^^^! i know you wanna make the right choices shawn, and i think it's admirable that you are actually trying to figure out what's best, rather than just go with your initial feeling...cause heaven knows i know how much feelings can influence decisions...and not always in the right way. i'll pray about it but i am am confident you'll make wise choices for the long run!

    SHAWNEEEE! Man.. I am so proud of you. I know that you feel like you're really struggling, but you have got the wisdom. You just said it all! I have felt the same way before, and the closer you grow to God, the less huge your dillemas seem. I love you so much, and I'm so thankful for your faith, it encourages me! You can bet I'll be throwin a few prayers up for ya :)
