Unanswered Prayers

Unanswered prayers seems to describe where I am right now. I feel as though there is a crossroads and I am standing smack in the middle of the thing. I have felt this way before (and I’m sure this won’t be the last time), but I feel it all over right now. The decision to continue on with school seems to have propelled me toward many opportunities I am not so sure that I want. Then again, I’m not so sure that I don’t want them either. I feel like I am trying my best to keep other people out of the line of fire as I navigate this new terrain, because there are going to be many ups and downs and many final decisions that result in me changing my mind five more times. That’s just how I roll:) I think more than anything, I am dreading the stepping away…maybe some people would call it “letting go”. It seems to fulfill some of my dreams I am going to have to step away from others (I know, this is generally the way the world works, but it doesn’t mean I have to like it). Right now I can stand here and look a little ways down each path (as far as I can see anyway) and I like all of the paths that lie before me, but choosing ONE…that’s the tricky part. On one hand, the glass is half full, and all the opportunities in the world are out there just waiting for me. On the other hand, the glass is half empty, and I am going to have to “let go” of some things I hold dear to go after them. So, which unanswered prayers will remain? It’s hard to say at this point, but I hope that whichever path becomes the one I am walking, that I never lose sight of who I am or what is most important in my life.
