Moving Forward

So there's one thing that I can always count on once I hit my low point of sanity...that the Lord will always provide a way to keep my head over water until I have faith to walk on it once more.

Last Sunday was Stake Conference with Elder Ballard, and it was absolutely fabulous! Everything that everyone said seemed like it applied specifically to me. It was all on trusting the Lord in all things and moving forward in hard times and trusting myself to take risks in order to be closer to the will of the Lord. Anyway, spark notes version: it was wonderful and changed my complete outlook.

New outlook: moving forward.

I was sooo focused on things of the past, on how I wanted things to be, rather than what the Lord's will for me was and trusting in Him. And quite frankly, it was making me a miserable, annoying, pouty, emotional idiot! And I was tired of it.

So, I've been moving forward in dating. I had my first date since David broke up with me tonight, and it was SO much fun! The guy is way nice, and I just had a really great time. And I feel like I can finally be real friends with David, and that it is alright to date other guys.

I'm moving on in school. I'm signing up to take the GRE, trying really hard to get things done in my classes, really looking into grad. school as well as study abroads. Also, I realized that I can totally pull my GPA up!

I'm moving forward in my testimony. I had become a lukewarm saint, and it wasn't doing all that much for me. So, I'm trying harder to focus on the basics of the gospel and help my testimony to grow. I'm trying to become the disciple that the Lord needs me to be.

I'm moving forward at work. Or at least attempting to...I'm still not sure of when to quite Taco Bell so I can start working for Dr. Parry. I need to pray about it more and study the idea through more.

I'm moving on with life. I want to be happy! Life's more fun and easier that way! I can serve others and work hard and build my testimony of the Savior and move forward throughout my life!
