A heavy heart this morning

I would like to ask you to pray for my 18-year-old son. He is scheduled to go to an out-of-state university in less than 2 weeks, and now he's having second thoughts. Last night he was up late, crying his eyes out because he says he doesn't know what he wants to do.

He doesn't know where he wants to go, or what he wants to major in. We've tried to stress to him that he doesn't have to have this all figured out now, but he's so worried about his future that he's not enjoying this part of his life.

He should be excited about going off to college, and instead, he's terrified. He made a last minute decision to go to this out-of-state school, and now he's wondering if it was the right one.

So this morning my husband called the in-state university he also applied to months ago to see if that is still a possibility for him. They said all they would need is a final transcript and he would be fully admitted. They still have dorm space available. One of my son's good friends is going to this school.

I can't believe on the EVE of the due date for payment for the out-of-state school that he is wrestling with this decision! (The tuition is due by the 15th and my husband was going to make the payment today!)

Now we don't know what to do. My son may drive over to the in-state school for one last visit tomorrow, and then make his decision.

Please pray that he will have some PEACE about this. It breaks my heart to see him struggling with this. I just want him to be happy, wherever he goes!!!

(By the way, I was so upset about all this that I couldn't go to sleep last night. I was having a huge panic attack. I finally had to take some Klonopin to make me relax. Not good, I know, but I knew I wouldn't get any sleep without it.)
