Slow down

Over the last couple of months I have done alot of reflecting. I once heard as we grow closer to the Lord we start to see what he see's in us. As I have been attending the temple weekly and I have been doing ALOT of praying, I have come to realize that the Lord truly does have a hand in my life. I got up to bear my testimony a few weeks ago as it was my last fast and testimony meeting in Rexburg considering I won't be in Rexburg at the beginning of next month (I will be in DC, yay!!) I expressed my testimony of the Lord's love for us. I am at a time in my life when alot of things are really uncertain and it's scary so I have had to really rely heavily on the Lord. I have been trying to figure out where to go and what to do and more importantly what the Lord wants me to do but my mom sent me this sweet letter last week that really helped answer some of my prayers. She said that the Lord really is aware of me and where I am at in my life and as long as I am doing everything I am suppose to and drawing near unto Him he will guide me and help me along the way.  Elder Holland has said, "It is the plain and sobering truth that before great moments there can come adversity, opposition and darkness life has some of those moments for us, and occassionally they come just as we are approaching an important decision."

Sometimes you just have to slow down and appreciate the present rather than worrying about the future
