The Story Isn't Over
Many young adults, especially around my age, are going through growing pains (including myself). We are approaching our mid to late 20's feeling as if we should have been done with this "struggle" season already. We think to ourselves, "I thought I would've been at a different place at this age" or "I can't believe I'm still at this place". Not realizing that those words can paralyze any hope of our future. We have to stop giving up on God so quickly, give Him time to do his will! You know how kids are always talking in the middle of the movie? Or reading a story and jump to conclusions on how it will end? As young adults, we do the same thing!!! Stop complaining or assuming, this is not the end of your story! Only God knows the ending, stop being so emotional; you're still in the beginning. We haven't even started living! Trials are meant to bring about change and growth. God disciplines those He loves. Decide to adopt a sense of gratitude. Instead of thinking about what you are lacking, pay attention to what God has given and give Him thanks everyday. Love God for what he has already done, and learn to be happy in your circumstances! He kept you alive, so understand that your story isn't finished yet! Keep pushing, keep fighting! The devil wants you to give up; I understand that we become weary in battle, but Jesus tells us "Come to me all who are weary, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28). God is with you in your trials so call on Him. If you can't hear or feel him, keep calling! Believe without doubt that he will come near and answer. Understand that what you are going through or facing is no secret or surprise to God! Acknowledge Him and ask for help. He longs to love and bless us. You must endure to receive the crown of life. This place that you're in is only temporary!! Get out your feelings, and Get in to God's Word. The movie isn't over, and God has seen the end of your movie so let your soul rest in Him! Trust Him! To those reading this, be encouraged, be inspired. I'm here for you, I care. Don't give up. Love&Blessings -REESE😘

Your words are truly inspirational, I'm not where I want to be in life either. I always told myself that at 27 I want to be starting to own my family, wife, kids, dog, house, etc. Im nowhere close to that at 25. I become very frustrated, angry at times and want to give up. Its a reason why Im trying to reply to this post for a third time, and the past two have not registered. All good things take time, patience, and faith. As a kid life always seemed so promising, I want to be this, I want to do that, I want to get my mom the big house. Lol, the good ole days. Now life has become a struggle. Thanks to you Reese my outlook on life is a bit different, I didnt realize that, the way I think about life can have a paralyzing effect. This is too hard, why is it taking so long, and giving up on my dreams has derailed my faith with God. Truth is I need to build my faith more than ever before. Its been proven when you pray and believe it can happen. It doesnt mean sit back and enjoy because this isnt a magic show, but youve reminded that , "God is with you in your trials so call on Him. If you can't hear or feel him, keep calling! Believe without doubt that he will come near and answer." Thank you for sharing your faith, its truly inspirational. Maybe this is your calling, who knows, but Im sure God has a great ending for you. All the best, Reese.
