Prayer

Back to Rexburg for another semester...and my last. I can't believe this is my last semester, but I am more than ready for it to be over with. If this wasn't my last semester, I think I would take off for a semester to go work at Disneyland. It's the second day of the semester, and I'm already wishing that it was over. This semester is going to be a tough one and yesterday I didn't think that I was going to be able to make it through this semester. That's when I turned to the Lord. Those are the best times to talk to Him. I gave a lesson on prayer in my relief society on Sunday, and the way I view prayer changed so much and my testimony has increased just from preparing and teaching that lesson. What was amazing about that lesson was that I wasn't even a little bit nervous about teaching it. Usually I am very nervous about teaching adults, but this seemed to be different. I beleive that the reason why I wasn't nervous and the reason why my lesson went so well, was because I prayed before I taught and I know that the spirit was in that room when I was teaching. I loved doing it and wouldn't mind being a relief society teacher.

This is going to be a busy semester, but I know that I am going to be learning so much this semester and am going to be so blessed once it is over, so I am just going to make it through this semester and pray....a lot. I've got 17 credits, senior practicum, work, wedding to plan, volleyball coach (that might change). It might not sound like a lot, but let me tell you what, it is a huge load right now. But I know that I can do it all as long as I have the Lord with me and I keep praying. I don't know how I would make it through a day without this gospel.

I am so happy that I have met such a wonderful young man to marry in the temple and be with for eternity. He is truly the greatest guy that I have ever met and I can't picture my life without him in it anymore. It is hard without him here this semester while he is working in Salt Lake. Sometimes I need him to hold me and tell me it's going to be okay. BUT what is 3 months compared to eternity, right? I just have to keep telling myself that. Anyway, I know how lucky I am to have such a wonderful guy in my life and I couldn't be more thankful for everything he does for me and for his great example in my life. I love him very much and I can't wait until we start our lives together on July 31.
