The author questions whether their current lifestyle of helping many people and caring for others is truly their calling or what God wants for them, as they feel they are not studying the word or praying as much as they preach. While fulfilling at first, it now seems forced rather than by free will and is depriving them of joy. They worry they have drifted off track from their original goals of making themselves and their parents proud, and hope to look back one day having realized any mistakes and gotten back on track through God's power.

I once asked … is this my calling? Is this the life I have to
live every day of my life wondering how love should be shown to others, always feeling like I am not loving enough and I believe I can do more for me. You will think what an amazing personality she is?
Funny thing! There seems to always be “but” besides a happy
beginning. Now more friends, more people to care for, but really is this what I want? I love to help people I get a lot of fulfillment from it. Is this what God wants for me, I don’t know.
How would I know? I don’t study his word as I should or pray as I
should but I preach about it. I really don’t want to be signboard to people and not enter into that which I lead many to.
The other path of life is not me, no fulfillment, I can’t fit in
it and can’t phathom myself in it.
I posted More Friends, More Responsibilities. I came here without
friends and I flourished that way. Should I go back to the way I was? I know so much about people that I don’t think it is possible but this deprives me of my joy, my fulfillment. Now nothing seems to be freewill but forced.
I came here to make myself and my parents proud! Now it seems
like I am going off track. This niceness seems to be the cause of this drift or is it that I misunderstood what it means to be nice, loving and caring! Maybe now it is foolishness.
I move from a world of achievements to a world of even greater
achievements. I am not saying anything because I know the importance of words. I really want to look back at this day when I wrote this article and smile that I realized my mistake but I got back on track, achieved my goal and dream by the power of God’s spirit.
