I know the plans I Have for you...

Recently there have been some decisions that have been weighing on my heart, and I have been struggling with how to deal with them. 

I wanted to move back to Provo, and go to night school at BYU, but upon some deep consideration I have decided that right now that isn't where the Lord wants me to be.

What the Heck!!! 

I feel like every time I choose something that I want to do, the lord puts an obstacle in my way and then I have to change my course and start all over.

I have decided that I am going to pursue a career in cosmetology, at least for the time being. This means that I have to go back to school for a 10 week refresher course tuesday through friday, from 8am to 4pm.. 

This I know is going to be a challenge for me, waking up at 5:30 every morning to catch the sprinter to Oceanside. 

When we are given a task, one must put their whole focus on completing that task. 

I know the plans that I have for you, declares the LORD. They are plans for peace and not disaster, plans to give you a future filled with hope. 

This verse is going to be my mantra for the next few months, as I go back to school and focus on my new career path. 

I know that the Lord wants me to be happy and succeed at whatever I do. This gives me great comfort. 

Whats new with me..

These past few months have passed in a blur...
I have been given a few trials and have learned a lot about myself.
One of the trials I have had to face was the surprising diagnosis of Bi-Polar Disorder, which I was diagnosed with in June.
I have had to lean on my Heavenly Father and learn new things about myself.
Being diagnosed has changed my perspective on a lot of things..
First: I know that I am a Child of God, and He loves me no matter what.
Second: I have come to realize that Family is forever and they will nurture and care for me always.
Third: I am so grateful that I can function and live a normal life.
This trial came as a shock and surprise to me and my family, but I know that Heavenly Father never gives us anything that we cant handle, and if we rely on Him we can get through everything.
I am so thankful for my family and close friends that have supported me these past few months, I dont know what I would have done with out them.
I saw this Quote on a friends pinterest wall, and it fits my current situation so well I wanted to share it with all of you.

Love this.
