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...

You deserve all the good this world has to offer!! You are amazing! I hope those good things come sooner than later!!
EEK! I miss you. I don't know what is going on, but for sure I know things work out how they should. I am so glad that you have been in my life, I wish we could spend more time together. Let's get together soon. You will always have a VERY special place in my heart.
OMG, thank you, thank you, thank you!!! This is exactly what i needed to hear right now. U know of some of the things that are going on in my life and this really helped me out. You are the best and deserve the best. Let me know if we can do anything for you guys.
Thanks for sharing that message Erica. I think we all need to be reminded of that sometimes.
E....love you and love this post. It really is true that sometimes the things that we think are the worst later turn out to be amazing blessings!
Sis, I love you! And, I believe in good things to come. I know they are all just on the horizon for you...I just know it. I loved this message. It made me think so much how "we receive no witness until after the trial of our faith." It seems like so many things happen for me this way at least. Just hang on and I'm sure all the good things will be coming your way. There probably won't be room to receive it all! I love you to pieces.
I love you and pray for you everyday! I know good things will come to you and I am sorry you are having a test of your patience right now! Thanks for your message and positive outlook even though things are hard in life when they don't happen the way we want or plan them!
Ah Erica- that MM makes me cry EVERY SINGLE TIME. What an awesome outlook you have and a great reminder to me. You are right- Heavenly Father always has the best plan, even if it doesn't always feel like it at the time. Thanks so much, miss you!
