My future now seems destroyed

[Sharky]

Not a good day at all today. My film school, which i've been working so hard to try to get in has rejected me for the interview. I've worked so hard to the best of my abilities, to show that i'm more than dedicated to get in and that's the result.

The interveiw at a different university i've gone to, turned out to be a total stuff up as well. Halfway through the interview i couldn't believe what i've done. I just went blank. I couldn't even show all of my port folio work to them. After it finished, i only then realised that i haven't shown them everything. I could almost kick myself after that. I couldn't believe what i've done! Results for that aren't out yet but i still have hopes for it. Not much, but it's hope.

It looks like i'll be off to that other uni. Just doing multimedia, stuff i don't really want. Not to mention it's a full day drive up north so i'll have to find accomodation there too.

Man, i think i know how life really is like now. This really isn't my day to feel happy-go-lucky anymore.

Yeah! I know the feeling of rejection. It hurts a lot but no matter, God is still in charge. He never promised a pain free life here, just a very spiritually rewarding one and a home in Heaven when this life is over.

I have so learned at a very late stage in my life that my desires are not necessarily what is best for me or what God has in mind. The rest of my life will be nothing at all like I pictured it but it will be according to the way God pictured it.

Sharky God has blessed you with great talent and He KNOWS your heart and that ain't all either. He KNOWS what is BEST for Sharky. Lay it at His feet and trust Him to open and close doors and make not just A way for you but THE way for you.

Do not give in to discouragement or entertain defeat. Trust Him Sharky and He will turn the ashes of your dreams into Rainbows and something more beautiful than you ever imagined.

Gerry is right Sharky. Maybe the closed doors are the work of God. Maybe He has something else in store for you that would be so much better than what you desire. I know disappointment and rejection are hard to understand and to accept sometimes. But if we truly believe that God is in control, we have to accepts the "no's" as well as the "yes's". Just hang in there and keep seeking God's will, Sharky. One day you will look back on this and see the hand of God moving you to a place where you didn't realize you could go. I'm praying for you!

I stand in agreement with gerry and wvmntkid. Sometimes God has other plans then our own. I pray thst the Lord comforts you during this time of frustration, I also pay that you may know his perfect will for you. God Bless you Sharky.

 

[HisLamb]

I will pray for you, too.  I'm going through a time of uncertainty now, so I can understand how you feel.

 

[fieldmouse3]

I'm willing to bet that He has something great planned for you!

 

[carmen]

Praying for you sharky.

 

[Sharky]

Thanks for you're prayers everyone. Feeling much better now.
I guess i still have alot to learn about waiting. Maybe God needs something else from me. Well, i guess i'll have to wait and see.

 

[Buggyman]

And what better time is there for Prayer heh?

God want hear from you so he can give you guidence. as I posted in another thread, where I wanted to go and where God led me was two totally differance places. I came away a better person where he sent me.

 

You're young Sharkey.. God has Great plans for you.

I will lift you up in Prayers.

Remember when you first brought up the idea of going to film school, and you asked us to pray about it. Well, I never stopped praying about it for you. I kept asking for God's BEST will for your life. I asked Him to clear the way for you to get into the film school if that was the way that you could best serve him, and that if He had another role for you, that He would keep you from veering outside of that plan.

I'm sad that you didn't get in. I'm really, genuinely sad. I wanted you to be able to do this because you had such enthusiasm for it. But I assume that God answered our prayers and is steering you into the direction that you can BEST serve Him with your life and your career.

It's okay to mourn what you didn't get, but don't forget to celebrate that God answered our prayers and is keeping you from doing what is not His plan for your life.

Besides, He sometimes makes us wait for the things we want most. So, don't assume that it is over and that you'll never go to film school.

I understand what you're feeling Sharky. When I was a kid from the very first time I held a crayon in my hand, I told everyone I was going to be an artist when I grew up. I even won a scholarship to an art school when I was a teenager, but I never got to go to the school. I was too young to live on my own that far away from home. Instead I eventually took a horticulture class and worked in that field, after working various other jobs.

And even then, what I learned by taking the Horticulture class has been a big part of many things the Lord uses to open my eyes and show me things.

I have also been blessed with learning some computer skills, graphic programs, and photography. The Lord has now showed me how I can combine all these things and use them, to bring him Glory.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that God gave you a talent for a reason, but sometimes there are other things he wants us to learn at the same time, or along the way. Things we most likely wont see untill much later, but when it all comes together and he shows us how to use it all, and we look back and see how everything worked together for this one purpose. It's truly awesome.

So keep trusting in him! He'll give you just what you need when you need it. You would not have the talent God gave you if he didn't have a plan for it's use somewhere down the line.

I'll be praying for you

Man thats terrible Sharky, I pray that the Lord brings word fast on why you have been rejected. Maybe its for the best, or maybe its just being delayed.
I also pray for peace to come over you Sharky, this is just a storm, it will pass soon.

i know a man from church who's had many doors slammed shut for him when he finished university. It was all God's doing of course, and now he again faces a difficult decision. He told me excitedly that maybe God'd do the same thing again.

i'm praying for you, rest assured, there's always a door opened somewhere, and you may come out better because of it.
