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.

  1. Jessica, I may not know exactly how you feel, but I know how it feels to have one thing thrown in front of you after another and having to jump from plan to plan. I know Heavenly Father is watching out for you and eventually you will find your niche in life. Love you!
