A wise friend once told me...

"You have come so incredibly far in the past few months and now I feel like Satan is trying to pull you back. You say that you don't know who you are or who God wants you to be, but I think you're striving to be this person you think you're supposed to be, when in reality life and experiences shape you. You are who you are in this moment at this time in your life, that is going to change in the next moment. You are going to continue to grow into the person you're meant to be throughout your entire life. It's a journey, it's not meant to be complete at 16 years old. I know that you find that frustrating but I think you need to start living more in the present than the future. You tend to plan ahead for yourself when maybe you should try letting God take the reigns in your life. I know you like control but His plans are so much better for you, even though they may not make sense right now.You said that it would be so much easier to give up and you'd feel so much more real, but you are real. I don't think you're hiding anything, I think that you're going through something and being tempted and challenged. Everyone goes through temptation throughout their lives and while it's different from person to person it's still there. Do you think that maybe this temptation is a tool to get you to lean on God and let him take control?"

Every word of that is true..
I hope it speaks to me you like it did to me.
