journal

so i just wanted to say how grateful i am for journals! This summer has definitely not gone the way i had imagined but truthfully its helped me grow so much. The lord has something in store for me, and i am grateful that he has the patience to continue to teach me. But I encourage you all to write in a journal and not just write about daily events but impressions you get. A couple months ago i got this impression to ask these lovely ladies in my ward if i could possibly room with them in the fall. THey said of course. I remember the distinct feeling i had to ask them about housing and from the first moment it was brought up they never left me out of it. We found a wonderful place and from the moment i stepped into the apartment i knew that that was where we were suppose to live. So we put ourselves on a 25 person waiting list. Through many tender mercies and great decisions my friends and i made it into the apartment!! Well many months have passed since that time and things have changed. for example, One of the girls is no longer going to be living with me. SHe is going to be serving a mission. first off that makes me so very happy but at the same time i became totally bummed out. I was kind of getting a little sad and not sure what to think. Then the other day i was rereading through some journal entries and read about the distinct impressions i had to ask those girls and that the apt i am in is where i am suppose to be. It reassured me that my Heavenly Father has a plan for me and even though i may not know it, he does and he will continue to guide me as long as i have faith and trust in his plan. One of the tremendous blessings i have had from making those first decisions are two amazing friends that i know will be friends for the rest of my life. Second i got a job with terrific coworkers that have become good friends. I can't wait to see what the Fall has in store for me now.


challenge: write in your journal as much as possible. Look back over past journal entries and see the Lord guiding your life :)
