An Answered Prayer

So I'm updating my blog twice in less than a week. I know. Crazy. For right now it is, anyways.

I just wanted to share something that happened to me yesterday. Yesterday was a hard day for me. This week has actually been a toughy for me. I'm not sure why. I have just felt very frustrated with a lot of things and then frustrated that I was feeling frustrated. But yesterday was particularly bad. I got home from work and worked on some things that I needed to, but I felt like I didn't get enough done and also, I just wanted to go .. I don't know. On a date or something. But. I didn't. Because I had a ton to do and also, no boy.

Well, I was feeling lousy when my brother and I went to the temple. It was nice, but I couldn't do baptisms this week and as I was sitting in the chapel, watching my brother do his baptisms, I felt very .. lonely. I was missing people. A lot. And I was feeling discouraged for not being able to overcome certain things in my life, things I have been trying very hard to overcome. And I said to Heavenly Father, just in my mind, I need something. I don't know what. Just something.

I was expecting maybe a Facebook message or text or something. I wasn't sure. We came out of the temple; I checked my phone, Facebook, etc. Nothing. Then, as I was getting something to eat, Jon came downstairs with his Ipad. Jon and I both really like Mormon Messages and often share with each other new ones that we find. He had this one to show to me last night.

It was exactly what I needed to hear. It was the something that I told Heavenly Father I needed. Jon was such an answer to my prayer.

God knows what He wants me to be. He loves me, I know that. Sometimes it's hard to see that He has something great planned for me, because I have no idea what that great thing is. But, I do have faith in Him, and I know that He will help me in my life always. I just have to take the correction He gives me, and follow His path.
