Hello dear sisters!
I hope life is treating you well and that you are enjoying the time you are spending serving the Lord. 2 years ago I received that lovely white envelope in the mail. My hands were shaking, my heart was beating too fast, and I had to wait a few hours before I could open it. Definitely a trial of my patience!
Never in a million years would I have guessed that I was going to be serving in ALABAMA. But I can't imagine being anywhere else. So much has happened since that wonderful February day and I think one of the biggest things I've learned is to trust in the Lord's timing.
It's quite simple really. But one of the most difficult things we have to do in this life.
{Align our will with His. Be patient. Strengthen our faith. Become more like the Savior. Continue to do good things even if it feels like we're not getting answers. Take risks and act on promptings. Act when you know the Lord trusts you to make a decision. Keep your covenants}
As an avid planner and goal setter, the uncertainty that often comes in this life is quite a challenge for me. So much has not gone according to my plan. So many things turned out way differently than I expected them to. And even though it's not what I envisioned, it's ok because there are lessons I've learned and people I've met and testimony-building experiences I've had that remind me of who is actually in charge here. Heavenly Father sees us in terms of forever. He knows our potential and He wants us to be happy and He's going to do everything He can to help us get there as long as we are willing to come unto Him.
So right now, I'm learning to trust in His plan. To be content with the stage of life I'm in and enjoy the journey. Although I don't know what the future holds, I know who holds my future and that gives me the peace I need as I look forward to seeing what He has in store for me.
Keep the faith my dear friends. You are doing a great work. I love you!
~Mary
