Honestly and Patience

What a crazy week it has been!

My best friend comes home in almost two weeks. I can't even deal. I am so excited for him to come home. It will be great to be able to talk to him on a regular basis.

Anyways, that is not the point of why I blogged.

I really like blogging and reflecting about what has happened in the last week.

Trying to learn how to adjust on how to deal with living with six other girls is becoming slightly easier. I love most of my roommates. We are bonded and they have also seen me have a typical Kyrsten freak out its kinda funny. 

Ive actually bonded with my roommates this week. It has been really good we have had lots of laughs and such and its been fun.

Actually talking to my roommates made me realize how some of my problems don't even matter that much. Like sometimes  I think what I go through is so bad and then I listen to some of the stuff that my roommates go through and I am like holy crap that is crazy.

It really got me thinking this week of how grateful for even the little things in my life. I emailed my best friend Friday like I normally do and I just sent him the longest email about it. I told him of how I am so grateful for the friends that keep me sane and for the family that supports me from over 1000 miles away. I am so lucky for everything that I have in my life. It is so amazing what can truly open your eyes.

I had another huge moment this week! Well this weekend but same difference. I won't go into huge detail about it but something special put me into perspective a bit. I realized that I honestly really need to stop hiding from how I feel and I need to be honest about things.

And so Saturday I was really confused and conflicted about a whole bunch of things and I prayed and prayed. I literally begged Heavenly Father what to do Friday night and Saturday morning. Saturday morning I got the prompting to go sit in the temple and to take my journal with me.

So I wrote in my journal and I felt the Spirit just talking to me through what I was writing. It was amazing and wonderful feeling. I heard the words that I needed to be honest and I needed to start preparing myself for the future.

And so later that day, I was honest with the people I needed to be and I didn't hold back. I said exactly how I felt and Heavenly Father truly blessed with me in the conversation.

It didn't end badly at all and who knows about a future with that whole thing. Constant prayer and regular temple attendance with this thing is on my list.

Also I was talking to my dad about everything like I always do. He is one of my top three people to go to when major things happen like this. He told me he was proud of me and that I was making the right decisions and such. He also told me I was growing up and such and I was like aww.

 I TURN 19 IN A WEEK FROM TODAY LIKE WHAT NO THANKS FRIEND. I literally woke up yesterday morning and was not a fan of this whole growing up thing. That was the kind of day I was having. Not the point...

It is still crazy everything that has happened this week. I guess what I am trying to say is always have the Spirit and make sure you are thinking clearly. I have learned so much this week and I know the rest of the semester is going to be more of a learning experience.

Have a great week!
