"i have no idea. im scared to death im going to make the wrong choice no matter how much i pray about it. its like taking a test and you narrow it down to the 2 really nice sounding answers, but you feel as if no matter which answer you pick it'll be the wrong one. then behold you get the test back and it was the wrong answer (that actually happened to me on my last psychology test heh)."

I know this feeling! But try no to worry too much - God promises to give you wisdom.

And - I believe this is true - I think sometimes it doesn't matter which choice you make. The reason we can't decide is we want God to say "this way" or "that way". Sometimes what He's saying is "Either. Both choices are good. I am big enough to work My plan no matter which way you go. Just, in whatever you do, obey Me in all the little things and I will make sure you end up with the opportunity to be faithful over the big things too".

I don't want to misrepresent God, but I do believe fully that He is not worried. You won't foil his plan if you stay and were supposed to go, or if you go and were supposed to stay. And you won't foil his plan for you, either. As the Psalms say, "Trust in the LORD and do good; Dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness. Delight yourself in the LORD; And He will give you the desires of your heart." - Psalm 37.

I worried about stuff WAY too much when I was your age :-) Wish I'd lived what that passage says more.

You're the best, Kevo (and what's this nonsense about not being able to play guitar? Pshaw! Yes, I just said "Pshaw". Uh!)

love ya
