He is never present in those imaginings... in the warped reality of those fears. even if, Heaven forbid, said worst case scenarios or fears come true... God will be there, and they will therefore look nothing like what you've "foreseen"<BR/><BR/>i don't know if any of that makes sense or comforts you... but it helped me.<BR/><BR/>i'm excited to see what you choose... and i'm even more excited to live vicariously through you in europe this summer :)<BR/><BR/>good post!Martha Elaine Beldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14384371364553515474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29191579.post-22857324739809572992007-04-01T14:06:00.000-05:002007-04-01T14:06:00.000-05:00i do the same thing with big decisions, kelly. i j...i do the same thing with big decisions, kelly. i just know there are going to be great things where ever you end up.Carahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07339032483818529474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29191579.post-62924362954200892332007-04-01T12:28:00.000-05:002007-04-01T12:28:00.000-05:00No, I haven't seen The Talented Mr. Ripley. I'll ...No, I haven't seen The Talented Mr. Ripley. I'll have to put that one on the list of movies to see. :) What are some of your other favorite movies you'd recommend? That's so cool you like A Separate Peace! It's been years since I've read it, but it was very memorable. John Knowles is such a good author.The Pensive Poethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11543382066991071178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29191579.post-21977857771444996232007-03-31T14:18:00.000-05:002007-03-31T14:18:00.000-05:00Ooh, I think many of us college people can relate ...Ooh, I think many of us college people can relate in some way to the anxiety of choosing the place to spend the next 4 years. It's definitely okay to feel how you're feeling. I don't think any feelings about that are right or wrong. <BR/><BR/>In truth, I can't see you going wrong with any of the places that you choose. I'm pretty sure that all of the programs you're interested in will help you develop into an amazing counselor. Let me rephrase that: You are on the track to becoming a fabulous counselor, regardless of whatever program you choose. You already have 75% of what you need: the right heart for it. Now all you need is the training, experience, and certification. <BR/><BR/>I absolutely can't wait for our trip! It sounds so exotic when you say "Spain, Italy, Switzerland, and the Netherlands." I guess I had been thinking of it more in terms of the cities instead of the actual countries that we'll visit. <BR/><BR/>Hope you feel peace soon about your decision. Please consider this humble advice to not let fear and anxiety steal from the joy of the moment.The Pensive Poethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11543382066991071178noreply@blogger.com
