Decisions

Lately, I've been consumed with a pretty big life decision. I'm going to pull one of those annoying blog quirks and keep this extremely vague for personal reasons, I apologize. 


Even though everyone has been telling me that I would be stupid to pass this opportunity up, I can't help but feel that it's not the right timing or that I'm not ready to leave. 


I was in church yesterday, reading through the program for this week's sacrament meeting. Sure enough, right there on the front of the page was something I needed to hear:

"When your heart is in the effort, you'll find a way to prevail against whatever may block your path. When your heart is in the effort, you'll be fully and effectively engaged every step of the way.

See, hear, feel and taste the end of the journey before you even begin. The more vividly you visualize and relate to the goal, the more energy you'll have to get there, Difficult as it may be, there is a path from here to there. Connect solidly with your purpose for going, and you'll surely complete the journey. " 
- Ralph Marston


Coincidently, I had the opportunity for someone to translate the French part of Ty's christmas video for me. I couldn't be more thankful for the wonderful advice he gave in those short minutes, it was yet again, something that I needed to hear and feel reassured.


Yesterday was one of those days, where you kinda desperately look out in the world for some sort of sign or answer to all your doubts. It was an amazing experience for me to realize that the answers are out there, sometimes on a church program and other times from the mouth of your best friends. But, it also helped me learn that I need to be patient, that not every answer comes to you in an instant. I am really looking forward to this process of making my decision. Although lately I have been feeling extremely overwhelmed about it, I know that my answer will come when I am ready. I love knowing that Heavenly Father is always out there helping us in some way or another to find our answers. Sometimes they don't come directly from Him, but I know that He always places the exact people in my life to help me get there.

Keep your head up Mags! You will make the right choice, whatever it is you are thinking about doing! As long as you keep doing the right things and keep your life in line with the Lord's will he will make things unfold the way they are supposed to so that whatever you are thinking about either will or won't work out! You're awesome!!
