Finals have come and I need a study break/I am procrastinating reading about Wyoming history. Lately I've developed two new mottos. ONE: How true is this statement! Countless times in my life I'll think, "wow I'm feeling pretty good about..." (this or that). I tend to be a healthy kind of confident until I compare myself. Whenever I start to compare I immediately say this quote in my head. Doing this has helped me so much to walk more comfortably in my skin. Don't let yourself steal your joy. TWO: As I open this chapter in my life I have so many "what ifs" occurring. I am a planner. I love to be prepared and have my life in order (you're right, Lu I'm type A). This time in my life is absolutely driving me nuts! I know I need to go on a mission, but I also want to know the future too! I want to know why things have happened the way they have. For example: Why did I meet this person? Why did I have to have this experience? I came across this quote and found it so applicable. My version of this would also be, "give me the faith to have patience until I can understand it for myself." Learning to act on faith is a simple principle that is difficult to complete. I know as we act on faith things will unfold how they are supposed to. Life just has a tendency to work out.
I also find this applicable to those struggling with doubts. Some things we will not find out in this life and that's okay. I keep to the hope that one day we will understand everything perfectly, but for right now we have to wait and keep enduring to the end. -Josie
