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.

I love your thoughts on life! Reading this reminded me of that time at youth conference years ago when you, me, and Laurie were sharing scriptures together and then we bought Jake scriptures. To this day I still remember that week and the good times we had together!
