Hi hart
i thought i would just quote some of your thoughts and respond to show how it can be a matter of how we look at it.
I don't really know how to title this post-
and I am sure I am going to reveal my total ignorance byasking these questions but please be patient with me and bear with my weakness-
not at all, you are more likely to expose my total ignorance and i ask you to bear with my weakness.
-How can I consider making decisions or wanting to do certian thing with my life-

Is there a reason to actually do anything?
Phi 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
There will be many changes in my life in the next 3-4 years. Many decisions to make. Why make any of them?
because there is no way not to
-am I just endure to the end?
theres no just about it, to endure to the end is the most noble epic ever written. only the Author has read the end yet.

Tit 3:14 And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.
-is there any point to this life- its careers, relationships, fulfullment accomplishements?

I honestly do not know how to live my life anymore other than just waiting for the end.
i know the feeling hart but as the saying goes "faint hart never won fair maiden"
Rom 8:31 What then shall we say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
Rom 8:32 Truly He who did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up on behalf of us all, how will He not freely give all things to us with Him?
Of course I study, pray, seek to serve, love my family etc. But it all seems to be really of no purpose. That I am moving through a "play" that is already written-and there is no need for me to care about any of it.

1Pe 5:6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God,
that he may exalt you in due time: 1Pe 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for
he careth for you. 1Pe 5:8 Be sober,
be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
1Pe 5:9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that
the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
1Pe 5:10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus,

"that's it Lord, i give up, i'll never be the christian i wanted so badly to be" why that was when i heard someone singing (actually humming at first, then singing) quite cheerily with a cheeky irish glint in His voice..."King of kings and Lord of lords"
Rev 17:14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
