For instance, started this semester a little gloomy but determined to make it a good one. Seeking some divine intervention, i decided to read a whole chapter (yes, a whole chapter) each morning or evening (depending on schedule) out of the scriptures and really read and ponder what i learned (instead of my, i confess, few minutes of crash course before bed time)
It's amazing! It really is! Even though my schedule is as busy or even busier than past semesters, i'm finding so much joy. I am so glad because i really was a little worried (meaning a lot) about this semester. It's cold, dark, and damp and I've got work and school literally all day, everyday. Somehow, the sun finds it's way into my life. There's still ton of stress, but somehow, everything gets done. Opportunities open up, hidden deadlines are discovered before it's too late, and i'm still able to manage working part time and going to school.
I now have a stronger testimony of putting the Lord first. When i actively follow his counsel and commandments and really show Him that i'm willing and seeking to follow God's plan, you get all the help you need. With Him and His marvelous foresight on my side, i can conquer any challenge that is coming my way. It's amazing what the world can shoot at ya. simply amazing.
I am so grateful for my Father in Heaven who loves me enough to let me suffer a little while, let me push and shove and distress, so that I can learn and rise to my fullest potential. It's a difficult process, but ya know what, i wouldn't have it any other way.
