I have to step it up.

I think I need to be more of who I know God wants me to be. Even saying that makes no sense to me right now. And....God ...what do you want me to be???
What do you want me to do? Where do you want me to go?
I'm in a mental storm right now and don't know what to do about it.

Sometimes it helps to be reminded of who we already ARE in God's eyes. I suggest Ephesians 1 and 2. I also recommend a book called "The Search for Significance" by Robert S. McGee. We're working through that in my Bible Study Group right now.
God loves you, Melody, because he created you and adopted you! He could never love you or accept you any more than he already has.
I love you, and you are a wonderful, amazing friend and I am very proud of you for everything you're already doing. And God is too.

Wow! I have been right there a time or two. I love your transparency and ability to be real. Sometimes the best questions are the one's that can't be answered quickly... Some of the questions you have might not ever be clearly answered in your lifetime, this keeps us coming to Him, staying close behind Him. Our daily quest is not necessarily the answers to the questions of our heart, but to simply put all our effort (heart, mind and soul) into "abiding" in Him. If we abide in Him (John 15:5) He himself becomes the answer to all the questions of our heart. Fruit (which sometimes is the answer to our questions) comes naturally. Just rest in Him, remain in Him, abide in Him. Apart from Him our questions are left empty of genuine truth. It's good to wrestle with Him, wrestle with truth, wrestle with life - we truly value in this life what has cost us something. I have found the only rest to my restless attempt to being enlightened is to simply abide in Him like a branch needs to simply abide in the vine, fruit (results) will automatically appear. Love ya sis. I'm proud of you and your desire to be all that you are meant to be IN HIM. PV
