Where my heart is.....

Sometimes there is just so much going on in my heart, that I don't even know were to begin in getting my feelings out. This week has been a challenge for me, I have really been struggling with some things, and I have yet to overcome them. My dad approached me about it last night and we had a long heart to heart talk. Boy, those sure aren't easy. I know it is important to communicate, but it just stinks sometimes. I feel like I have been saved for a while now, and I feel like I should be way farther down the road of life by now. I have the desire to grow and walk in my relationship with the Lord, but I feel I don't know how to do that. I know everybody says, "just pray and read your bible, and everything will be okay". Sometimes it just dosen't seem that way. It just seems like there should be this magic token that you get to put into the door to get to the next level in your christian walk. I'm struggling, but I want to do the right thing. *Lord please help me to seek you for the direction in my life that you would have me go*
