The thing that I have come to understand about taking responsibility is a better understanding of God's grace and his love for me. The concept of if I do something that does go horribly wrong, that he will not ceasing loving as a result. My life has been full of ppl ceasing to love me if I screwed up and did not do what they thought I should, or did not take responsibility for the things they thought I should. Part of that is realizing truly what "I" need to own and what I don't. That has helped some, and then an understanding of those other concepts I spoke of at the beginning of this post has allowed for me to have some grace for myself. Surround yourself with ppl that have grace for you, you then learn to have grace for yourself and then taking responsibility becomes far easier

I know how you feel...everyone asking me where I'm going to college and what all I'm doing with my life. I haven't got a clue. not really. Somewhat, but God hasn't layed it smack infront of me yet. I hope He does soon, but it's teaching me to relax and remember HE knows what He's doing and when it is best to tell me. I'm one of those people who wants to know what's going on and when and how long, basically, know everything...but He's teachin me to trust Him through it. *shrug* He's greater than me, so He knows best.
