Tender Mercies

I attend a priviate school it is associated with my Church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. After my first class I attend at 7:45 every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. This morning we have a bell tower that plays hymns and it was such a tender mercy to hear the music. It is only the second week and stress has already built up, but hearing that particular music, which was entitled "Where Can I Turn For Peace?" I was able to hear the voice of the Spirit this morning and it was such a blessing to hear that especially today!!!

Have a great day Y'all!

Uncertian

Today I was walking home from church and it was amazing. I had just received a calling in my ward. (if you have any questions about these terms just ask) In the walk home I felt like it is where I needed to be. I know that all my blogs have been like this lately, but it is the truth. Just this semester with all the craziness of my calling, school, and work I know that this is where I am supposed to be in my life to grow personally and spiritually. I am nervous to see what will come of it, but I know in due time the Lord will point out why I am going and doing all the things I am into. I feel like I am living outside of my body...I have not really been myself, but I know that with all these events taking place in my life I will receive guidance in my life somewhat. I need to really practice my patience within myself and also have more faith in the Lord with my decisions!!!

Surety

Have you ever been in a place in your life where you know you are exactly where you are supposed to be? I am and it feels so freeing. When I was home this summer I felt trapped and lost within my own self. But ever since coming home I have become more comfortable with myself and who I am becoming. I have a roommate Valerie who I roomed with in the winter and I just grew to love her. She has such a wide and open mind when it comes to everything. This semester I feel like I know who I am by just talking with Valerie. She has helped begin to shape my way of thinking and learning.
I just feel really great about this semester I know that all my classes will help me with what I am studying for in college! I love all my classes and I am so excited about my major. It is sociology with a minor in Child Development. I have felt comfortable with all my classes before I have changed my major, but with this major I know I will grow and learn so much with all the possibilities. This semester I feel like another chapter in my life where I know what will happen instead of being in the dark about who I will be. I'll keep you posted to see what lies a head!!!

Coming Home

 I just drove across the country with an ex roommate (don't worry it was a fantastic trip and she is living somewhere else this year) and we had so much fun. We drove through Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, and when we hit Utah I felt like I was at home. It was a weird trip, I mean it was wonderful, but I was not nervous, scared, skeptical, or even anxious like I usually am. I felt content and calm. The drive was smooth, sunny, and full of optimism. It felt nice to feel...free? I think that is what I am trying to say. I am going to be working 45 minutes away from where school and the thing is I am not afraid or nervous to get my work finished....it is the oddest thing. I feel like I am home. I never thought I would say this...i just hope I do not become home sick and want to go home next week. I am excited for the adventures and new things awaiting me....I know things will go wrong, because it is not perfect, but it just feels right...It's so hard to explain. I came home today! :)
