Good things to come

It seems like Nick and I have had our fair share of disappointments lately and we just keep saying, "We are due for some good news!" I am definitely learning a lot of patience waiting for some good news to come! Not to say life isn't great right now because we are so blessed and have everything we need. I am just learning that sometimes life doesn't go just as we plan it. But if there is one thing I have learned... it is that life always turns out better than you planned. And...good things come to those who wait!

If you know me well...I am not a patient person AT ALL! I am sure the Lord knows this and is testing my patience more than ever before! He has a bigger plan for Nick and me right now and I just can't see the big picture yet. I just have to remember from past experience that sometimes (well let's be honest..MOST of the time) I am SO glad that my life didn't turn out how I initially planned.

For example...when I started college I remember having a plan to get married before I graduated college and then when I graduated college and still wasn't married it was like, "wait a minute...now what??" But once I met Nick and realized he was SO worth the wait FOR SURE and exactly what I wanted and exactly WHEN I wanted I am so glad I didn't get married during college. Plus I got to experience so many things that I wouldn't have if I would have gotten married during college (like moving to Boston for a year, having all four years at Utah State with roommates, and living in a mansion in Salt Lake.) I met so many people that I wouldn't have if I had gotten married during college. So for that...I am so grateful that the Lord knew what was best for me because I wouldn't change anything!

So right now I am just going to remember that there will be good things to come even though I might have to wait a while. Even though I can't see the big picture right now, I have to trust that when things aren't working right now it will be okay in the end. I will look back and be grateful for how they turned out. But for now I just watch this Mormon Message and enjoy a good cry everytime I watch it. I just love it...
