Why do things have to be so complicated? Why can't answers just come right when we need them in an unmistakable way? So loud and clear that you just can't possibly miss it or misunderstand it? I am wishing for that now. I have wished for that many times before. Many.
Currently the biggest decision weighing on my mind is school. I am registered. I have financial aid. I have classes. What I lack is a definate direction. And when you're over 50 credits into school.... that is an uncomfortable place to be. I thought I knew what I was going to do. I was certain I knew what I wanted. So I jumped in with both feet. I talked to people, I got suggestions, I met with advisors, I planned classes, I applied for everything. Now here I sit, days away from the start of school with a knot in my stomach and questions swirling in my mind.
WHAT IS IT THAT I SHOULD DO???? WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE???
So if any of you are holding the Universal Book of Answers to Difficult Questions, would you please look up my destiny? Or at least pass it on already!

Camille, I feel for you. I have felt that way alot lately too. I still haven't had that confirmation that we are supposed to be in Carson City, but here we are. I hope you can feel peace soon. And if it is with school, good luck! You are braver than me!
Good luck! I graduated in something completely opposite of what I do. Well I guess that's not true I graduated with family studies and I am a mom, but I wish I would have done photography and graphic design in school instead of after school and after a bachelors degree!
Sometimes the confusion and fear isn't there to make us look for answers, sometimes it's there to try and scare us away from what we are supposed to do. Knowledge is never a bad thing. Even if you end up going a different direction later, the classes you are taking now will be helpful at a later time. Maybe what you need to pray for is to feel calm and peaceful with the decisions you've already made. Was prayer a part of those decisions? If so, and if you knew they were right when you made them, everything will work out. If you made the decisions on your own believing they were the right thing for you, maybe they are and maybe they aren't. Just make the Lord a part of what is happening and one way or another the answers will come and peace with return. Love you!

I had some counsel once that I try to keep in mind when making decision. Our Heavenly Father has blessed you with a good mind and knows that you are capable of making good decisions. Sometimes He lets us just make that decision all on our own. I know that isn't what you wanted to hear but perhaps it is one of those times. But, take a step back and don't think what "should" I do and think about what you "want" to do. I love you Camille and know you will do amazing at whatever you choose. By the way, My phone number is still the same it has always been!!!
I love reading all of these wise comments! You are very blessed with good friends.
I wish I could add some sage advice, but it seems like I feel the same way you do more often than not. It's not hard to know the difference between right and wrong, but it's a lot more challenging to decide between right and another right! Good luck!
Our house blog is here :)
I know what the answers to your questions are; HOWEVER, I will only tell you if you'll tell me the answers to all my questions.
Camille, e-mail me at elisehansen1 at gmail and I can give you more info! Kind of long for a blog comment. :D
Yikes! Doesn't sound like a fun place to be! If you find the magic book - share with me too! :) Good luck! Oh, and let us know what you decide!
I have the answer: Just be you! That answer is lame! I know. I apologize I haven't received any personal revelation for you at this time:(
Camille,
George Burns once said; "I would rather be a complete failure at doing something I love, than to be successful at doing something I hate".
I have a feeling that you would be successful at whatever you choose.
My only advice would be to ask yourself what it is that you really want to do. Everything else will fall into place.
