Life has been keeping me very busy lately. I can't believe its time again to welcome in a new year. Ready or not 2010 is here. If you would have asked me a year ago where I would be today I never would have thought that I would be where I am. It wouldn't have crossed my mind that I would still be living back at home, but I am thankful that I am and that I have this opportunity to spend more time with my parents. Life never seems to go exactly how its planned, but I have learned as you try to live your life the best you can you always end up where you were supposed to be and it is usually better than you would have planned.
I have had the opportunity to attend a couple institute classes this year and I do believe like President Monson has promised that by making institute a part of your life:
"Friends will be made, the Spirit will be felt, and faith will be strengthened. I promise you that as you participate in institute and study the scriptures diligently, your power to avoid temptation and to receive direction of the Holy Ghost in all you do will be increased. Divine favor will attend those who humbly seek it."
In one of the classes we were talking about challenges and enduring. I have learned that there is a profound difference between enduring and enduring well. Trials are given to us to teach us, mold us, and help us become better and bring us closer to our Savior and Father in heaven. If we are the same person we were after our trials as we were before our trials were for no good. We will see our trials as large stumbling blocks that can stop us in our tracks, but when we choose to endure well we can see the same stumbling block as a stepping stone, helping us progress in the eternal plan.
Through the trials in my life over the last few years I have been able to better understand the Lords love for me. It has been a year since i had the wonderful opportunity to enter the temple and make further covenants with my Father in Heaven. I am so thankful for the blessings it has brought in my life and the blessings that I know will continue to come throughout my life. I know that there is a plan much bigger than me and at the same time, my little sometimes seemingly insignificant problems are somehow still of great importance to the Lord.
I got called to serve in the Fullerton YSA branch as the Relief Society President last May. When I was called, the Branch President told me it was something that would change my life for the better. I told him I liked my life the way it was and didn't want things to change. But as I look back I am thankful for the blessings that it has brought me. I am thankful for the wonderful friends I have been able to meet and to be a witness to seeing the Holy Ghost influence the lives of others for the better. I know that the Lord loves each and everyone of us and that he wants nothing but the best for us.
When life seems to be unfair or as if things don't seem to be going your way remember that there are those that love you pray for you.
Happy 2010!!!!
