And she's off

Well school time is here again. I am only a few days away from taking off on a new adventure in my life. I have been gone from school for two years. Strange to think I am going back. I am very excited but it feels so foreign. The other day I was reading in the ENSIGN and came across an article that spoke to my heart.

So often in life we feel we need to plan it out. I myself am a planner and enjoy making plans and seeing them come to pass. But in life we can't control all variables. In times of trial or lack of understanding we have to remember a few things. First- Don't worry about what you can't control. We can't control others choices or reactions. We can only control our own.

Second- "We can't predict all the struggles and storms in life, not even the ones just around the corner, but as persons of faith and hope, we know beyond a shadow of a doubt the Gospel of Jesus Christ is true, and the best is yet to come"- L. Tom Perry

Again another statement with such umph that it rings in our hearts when we read it. The best might be in this life or in the next, but none the less because of the knowledge we have of Christ we know it is all going to be ok.

I'm not worried about going back to school but i know that what ever happens i can trust in the promises of Jesus Christ. What a great blessing knowledge is!
