Courage is...

I was not feeling well today so I didn't go to work but I had the opportunity to work a crazy amount on my Independent Study course. I've been a little frustrated lately feeling like I am just sitting around waiting for something to happen. It's one of those overwhelming feelings that you get that something is about to happen. Yeah I'm getting that in a big way, I'm not going to lie. So I was reading for my class and read in Doctrine and Covenants 5:34 and I really felt like it was an answer to the questions that have been floating around in my brain.

"Yea, for this cause I have said: Stop, and stand still until I command thee, and I will provide means whereby thou mayest accomplish the thing which I have commanded thee."

That gave me such comfort because I realized that I feel this way for a reason but like everything in life there is a purpose behind it. I also read one of my favorite scriptures in section 6:36

"Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not."

What else is there to say. I am so grateful for my Heavenly Father who loves me even with my shortcomings. He is with me every moment and I need to have faith that He is taking care of me because He is. I am so grateful.

Yay for answered prayers

So ever since I got back from Jordan I have been praying for rain. I have missed it so terribly. One of my favorite things in the whole world is rainstorms with wind and lightning and thunder and rain that soaks you clean through. I love the sound of lightning above the cloud cover and the overwhelming boom of the thunder. I love the way the wind holds you and threatens to carry you away. I love the sounds, smells and danger of a really good rainstorm. I have been praying, wishing and hoping for rain since I got home and I finally got a little bit of my wish. It is absolutely beautiful outside. There is great clouds with wind and there was some great lightning outside and great thunder.

Little Bug's birthday was yesterday and she wanted to go to a park that we always play frisbee at and then went to the Joseph Smith movie on Temple Square. It was really fun and here are some pictures of the temple and us hanging out!

It was such a wonderful day!

good grief

Well things have been pretty insane lately. I finally got a job working at BYU laundry. I'm also attempting to get my Independent Study courses done. It seems that I will never finish. Eveytime I have time to work on it I am either to tired or something unavoidable comes up. Family stuff seems to not only be the major priority but the force that is overtaking my life. It won't be so overwhelming for to much longer though.
