Wait

Church was so great today! The theme was “Trust in the Lord.” It wasn’t one that was necessarily picked out by the bishopric but the speakers in sacrament spoke about President Eyring’s talk from this last conference and then Sunday school and Relief Society also had emphasis on trusting in the Lord, too. Which I think was interesting and awesome because I’ve been really trying to TRUST the Lord. It can be such a hard thing at times. I think in this situation (no fist pumping please) it’s been difficult because I’m afraid of the unknown. But thinking about it, any decision you make isn’t definite and anything could happen. It was said today that in order to trust the Lord you need to first know Him. I KNOW the Lord but it’s been a while since I had a complete knowledge. Now it’s more of… an acquaintance. Wow. That’s not good. I should probably work on that if I am hoping to put my trust in Him. Wish me luck.

Today’s challenge…

Day 17: A book you’ve read that changed your views on something.

I don’t read that much. I want to say that “The Greatest Salesman in the World” by Og Mandino, changed my views but I can’t really remember what it would have changed. It is a great book! I just wish my memory was better. I would then have to say, and I’m not saying that this is the backup choice or whatever, that “The Infinite Atonement” by Tad R. Callister, changed my views on the atonement of Jesus Christ. Not in a negative way at all. But rather it made me realize the power of the atonement in a different light. I remember reading it on my mission thinking, “Huh, I never thought of it that way,” or “That makes so much sense!” I’ve been meaning to read it again but I have to get another copy. I let someone borrow it and have yet to see it again. L I read “Jesus the Christ” by James E. Talmage, but never finished it. I had a hard time understanding it. “The Infinite Atonement” isn’t as hard but I think after reading it I will be better prepared for “Jesus the Christ.”

I think today’s song goes along w/ trusting in the Lord. It’s not a church song but it still works. A lot of times life just requires patience. I’m usually a pretty patient person but in some cases, I just hate having to wait. Haha! That reminds me… Carrie recently taught Isabella about patience. She’ll get so antsy and want whatever it is she wants right then and there. Carrie has since taught her “to wait.” Carrie will say, “You have to…” and Isabella replies, “Wait.” It’s really cute and she’s slowly understanding what wait actually means. J Be strong, be happy, and find the joy in your life!

Haven’t Met You Yet- Michael Buble

I'm not surprised, not everything lasts
I've broken my heart so many times, I stopped keeping track
Talk myself in, I talk myself out
I get all worked up, then I let myself down

I tried so very hard not to lose it
I came up with a million excuses
I thought, I thought of every possibility

And I know someday that it'll all turn out
You'll make me work, so we can work to work it out
And I promise you, kid, that I give so much more than I get
I just haven't met you yet

I might have to wait, I'll never give up
I guess it's half timing, and the other half's luck
Wherever you are, whenever it's right
You'll come out of nowhere and into my life

And I know that we can be so amazing
And, baby, your love is gonna change me
And now I can see every possibility

And somehow I know that it'll all turn out
You'll make me work, so we can work to work it out
And I promise you, kid, I give so much more than I get
I just haven't met you yet

They say all's fair
In love and war
But I won't need to fight it
We'll get it right and we'll be united

And I know that we can be so amazing
And being in your life is gonna change me
And now I can see every single possibility

And someday I know it'll all turn out
And I'll work to work it out
Promise you, kid, I'll give more than I get
Than I get, than I get, than I get

Oh, you know it'll all turn out
And you'll make me work so we can work to work it out
And I promise you kid to give so much more than I get
Yeah, I just haven't met you yet

I just haven't met you yet
Oh, promise you, kid
To give so much more than I get

I said love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
(I just haven't met you yet)
Love, love, love, love
Love, love
I just haven't met you yet
