Katie's prayer: David Crowder Band's "Come Awake"

Eleven days. (Technically 10 days, 18 hours, 35 minutes and 45 seconds) That is how long I have until graduation. And I am scared out of my mind! Last week I somehow had peace about the whole not knowing what's going to happen twelve days from now. For some reason, that peace left me this week, and thus left me scared out of my mind! I'm so afraid of what the future holds. Am I going to get a job? Where? Will I have to go apartment searching? Am I going to go back and live with my parents? So much to fear.
So often I feel alone in that fear. Being the dramatic person I am, I start thinking that I'm the only one that has no idea what's going to happen. ALL my friends have known what they wanted to do with their lives since birth, and I just figured out my vocation a month ago. ALL my friends have a million different jobs they could apply for and be happy, I have very few. ALL my friends have their entire lives figured out, and I know a little about even the next eleven days. But really, thoughts like that are stupid! They have got to be just as scared as me. None of them have been hired anywhere. They don't know where they'll be either. So then, I must not be alone in my fear.
But, I don't know for sure, because we don't talk much about the future around here. Sure, we're totally counting down to graduation (and have been since August) but past that, we don't talk.

You are not the only one
Who feels like the only one.

Maybe if we started talking, my stress level would go down, because I might just realize that I"m not the only one. And who knows, it might help their stress level too.
