I like the sound of that, because I have quite a bit of experience working with children/students. That's also a means of giving back to the people who have helped me in college ;)

Thank you for sharing your experiences and demonstrating your ability to relate! Grad school was helpful in that I rediscovered a passion that I may follow through with, but I left some stressful situations both in school and family life unresolved for many years, so I have come home this summer...

I take full accountability in my actions and decisions, including the impression that I give off to people for slow-moving decision making. I even bring up this trait as perfectionism in my interviews lol I have been even more paralyzed with this habit because of my first job experience. It was...

I am willing to relocate, and even interviewed with a city on the other side of a neighboring state out west, but I’m also afraid of moving away from a few of my closer friends. I actually have considered teaching at one point but the only thing I was interested were the hours and the summers...

NativeAmes Thank you so much for sharing this link and putting all of your thoughtfulness into answers such as these. The very fact that you were willing to answer some of the hypothetical questions that I threw out proves that you took me and my situation to heart. I’ll have to keep checking...

We most definitely seem to have more similarities than differences in our mountains. I used to be the one who got ideas from instant epiphanies also, but my old ways of thinking have been challenged as to understand the "why" and "how" of various facets of life. Why do people who love me the...

I am 2 years outside of my undergrad years (Geosciences) and finished grad school in GIS and Remote Sensing (scientific mapping and satellites) in May. I’ve been involved in an online part time job as a GIS Analyst but I am searching for a full-time in earnest due to the job’s unpredictable...

I guess I have been spending too much time in the world. It's been hard to find good examples of Christians who aren't worldly but God is the only example we should follow. If you asked me if I wanted a GF/spouse 4 years ago, I would have easily said yes. But now at 24 my reasons for...

That is very true. As one of my favorite Bible verses from Hebrews says, Jesus Christ is the same yesterday today and forever :) You're so welcome. God will understand what you need and what experiences you are facing even before you make them known verbally, but He loves hearing your voice...

Always a good question. Looking at your faith in the relational perspective involves more than the riveting prayers to open and close church services, albeit they can stir one another in faith. One of the most revitalizing ways to connect with Him (at least for me) is talk to God like you would...

I definitely resonate with everything that you have said here, especially in the "me" generation, which I am not particularly proud to be a part of. While I am also in the transition from college to the work force, every social media post praising a new relationship or marriage and "good...

I don't think I can relate to this post. I've made plenty of women feel loved even after developing my recent fears against them. It's just that somehow no matter how hard I try something won't add up. Plus I've got anxiety where every awkward moment or flaw is internalized so this further...

The response from Cherrein is a winner, and really helps me to possibly rekindle a light that had burned out a long time ago, particularly in this psalm by giving it a whole new meaning. I am a rather courageous person by nature when it comes to new experiences, but under the pressure from the...

I have actually tried personality tests in the past but your recommendation to complete one is not a bad thought at all. In fact I think it is one of the most beneficial steps to self-discovery. When I have taken those tests before I have frequently answered questions with the intention of...

Very convicting post - I have frequently fallen short of the Greatest Commandment in recent times. These last few years have been stressful but I guess in the process I have become more like Martha than Mary, so I have become more obsessed with pleasing people than taking comfort in God's favor...

I do agree partially, as I experience a self-esteem boost every time I dress up. But on the flip side, this is exactly what I have been afraid of. The only way to win approval is to present myself as "perfect", disregarding anything that suits my personality, tastes or styles. People don't care...

I've been seeing counselors for the past two years, but if counseling or natural methods of treatment (sleep hygeine, diet etc) doesn't work, I will see a doctor. Even though I have recently got back on Facebook, the time when I was off was a real break for me.

Sorry for the extra comment - bad internet where I am at right now!

I actually do suffer from symptoms of anxiety. I have not been diagnosed yet, but there have always seemed to be some elements of anxiety appear throughout my life so far (my quote, worrying). But I've also heard that anxiety frequently manifests itself as depression. I definitely agree about...

Yeah I confess I do have a bit of a struggle of looking too much to other people for validation, particularly for aspects regarding my faith. Hopefully this is nowhere close to condependency but I do need to re-evaluate where I stand individually with God, rather than look to a heavy-handed...
