How Batman taught me to face my fears (and what’s really going on in my life)

I saw Batman Begins last night but I wasn’t feeling so well yesterday. I wasn’t very honest in my last entry, I was trying to cover up how I was feeling and it wasn’t me at all. I was frustrated at myself for how I was during our Campaign Planning Class last Thursday and Customer Care and Services yesterday. I felt so stupid because I felt that I cannot contribute to anything at all and if ever I did, I’d feel that what I said just didn’t make sense at all. I feel illiterate, I feel pressured. I felt angry at myself and confused on whether or not I have made the right decision. If it weren’t for my phone and messages from Daisy, I may have cried right there and then. I wasn’t happy. I felt as if I didn’t belong there. I felt like I was falling a step behind everyone else. Yup, feeling all that on the first three days of school.
What I failed to realize is that all that I was feeling was motivated by fear. I was afraid to fail, I was afraid to not make the grade. I’m scared as hell. All the pressure is because I am putting it on myself. There’s a lot to do- I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to finish it all. I’m afraid the professors hate me, afraid that I would never like what I’m doing.
Watching Batman helped ease those fears.(It was such a great movie, I haven’t been in awe like that eversince Finding Neverland, I super loved it. *wink*) There’s nothing to be afraid of. I was reminded that this was the Lord’s plan for my life and all I had to do was trust Him. I forgot that I wasn’t alone in this. He would help me get through all of this.
I’m feeling better today, still a bit afraid but I’ve surrendered everything to Him. Its His Will for my life. I can do this. I just need time to adjust. Pray that things would get better along the way.

So much for my first day funk. *wink*

Don’t get me wrong, I feel blessed to be at that school. I’m enjoying my school, all I have to do is have confidence in myself and participate. I guess that’s one thing in the mix that’s missing. My confidence. I’ll work on that.
