I won't lie to you, I've been waiting quite a while.

It can get boring, and lonely, and you will sit and wonder what your next move is for hours. You'll beg and plead with God and try to understand why life feels like its moving in slow motion, or even worse, come to a halt altogether. Your heart will fill with anxieties of not knowing what is coming next, and you may just feel utterly lost. But, take hope and know that in the wait, you're going to find amazing things, and when that breakthrough comes it'll be better than you ever could've imagined.

It sucks when life feels like a waiting game.

You just keep asking yourself "what's next?" and the answers never seem to come. Pros and cons lists, praying, talking to family and friends: sometimes you do it all and you still don't know what to do or what's next. Whether you're in high school wondering what college to go to, in college and trying to find the right major, trying to find a job after graduation or debating switching careers, it can feel very daunting to change. Change tends to be big and scary, at least in my life, and often I run and hide from it. I like comfortable and easy, and I question every decision I make. But truly the worst thing is feeling like you need to change something — like you're just stuck, and you don't know what it is or where to start.

There is good news: it's gonna get easier.

You're not going to feel stuck forever and you're gonna get some clarity sooner or later. God has something amazing waiting for you on the other side of the battle, and even though you don't know it now, it will be beautiful. It will make all of the struggling, pain, and confusion you went through seem so small.

Just keep going, working hard, looking toward your goals and finding what makes you happy. Live life day by day and don't rush things. Breathe through the anxiety and know there is a plan for your life.

The breakthrough can feel a million miles away, but it's just around the corner, and it's all gonna be worth the fight.
