today i became aware of what needs to happen in my life.
i have received answers to questions that only He could answer.
it is truly amazing and completely reassuring that Heavenly Father knows exactly what we need and how we need to receive it. i am so amazingly blessed and so thankful. my heart is full and i am completely at peace.
today started off as normal as it could. i woke up and resisted the urge to get a drink from the cup on my nightstand. i remembered it was fast sunday. every other fast sunday i had felt something but i had no idea that today would be so different from all the rest. it started in testimony meeting. the testimonies kept knocking harder and harder at my door and i could not stop the water works from starting. my favorite bishop burr brought me to tears. he is such an amazing man. someone who has the most amiable qualities that i so want in a husband. then brandon johnson bore his testimony with such confidence. he also has the most amiable qualities. i want him as my husband. :) hahahaha okay let's be realistic here..
then off to sunday school where the most amazing woman, brenda burr, taught us about the amazing Elisha. then relief society, personally, in my singles ward, i am not to thrilled to go to r.s. for some reason. in my home ward everyone comes up and asks me what i am doing in my life and i definitely feel loved/wanted. ha. well i was talking to laurie and my mom about how i had no drive to go to school and no idea what i wanted to do with my life. everything was up in the air for me and i felt i just couldn't grasp any of it. laurie was persistent that i must go to school and get an education. i knew that i must but i didn't want to. then sister claire taylor got up to start the lesson. it was on education. my jaw basically dropped when she said that, that was going to be the topic of the lesson. she started by telling us about an amazing talk that president henry b. eyring gave in the new era.
as the words poured from her mouth i could feel my spirit testifying that they were true. i could feel them knocking at my door harder and harder until i could not take it any more. i was weeping. uncontrollably weeping. such great joy had entered my soul and my prayers had been answered. i knew exactly what the Lord wanted me to do with my future. it was such an amazing feeling. besides the fact that i was still crying thirty minutes after i got home from church.
i knew.
i had never in my whole life felt the feelings i had felt this fast sunday. i now have a testimony that fasting and prayer works. that Heavenly Father answers prayers and that he knows exactly what is going on in everyones lives.
my cup runneth over.
