His Timing


Just thought I would start by sharing that President Eyring is a very inspired man..
“…if you go for the Lord to bless others, He will see and reward it. If you do this often enough and long enough, you will feel a change in your very nature through the Atonement of Jesus Christ.” 
 There are these moments in my life when I realize a need to testify of the Atonement and to share my love for the spirit and how it blesses my life. Its like my own personal hug with the Savior whenever I feel of his peace and guidance in my life. President Eyring gave a beautiful talk this past General Conference that really spoke to my needs. (Feel free to check it out: His Talk)
Coming out to Utah was such an hmm interesting?.. experience for me and a trying time as I struggled with understanding a break up that had recently happened and being in a new place and starting to realize that life has its changes and my life is coming close to making life decisions and we all have to. It sparked a continual wondering that I have often of: well where do I fit in the Plan of Salvation, and does Heavenly Father truly have a "plan" for me. As you can see I am still searching but I just have to say I ABSOLUTELY loved this talk- it completely spoke to me!
Submitting fully to heaven’s will is essential to removing the spiritual pavilions we sometimes put over our heads. But it does not guarantee immediate answers to our prayers.”

 I am learning that we have such an opportunity to simply be HAPPY in every day living and know that His promises are sure. I make all these plans myself and what I need to be doing when I forgot that uh "thy will be done" may just be a better idea.
"His time should be enough for us..." 
Don't you just love it?

Loved that talk myself! All I can say is that now that I am experienced in the ways of life (meaning now that I am OLD!) I have realized that what seemed like such a long time really wasn't and in hindsight it is very easy to understand with perspective what seemed to not make any sense at all when I was going through it. Hang in there Courtney, God still has great things in store for you!
