For the last month or so, all I have wanted is to be more patient.
I have been trying to be patient when it comes to answers and waiting for texts from people but nothing. I was at my wits end. I was on my knees basically begging to learn how to be more patient because I knew I needed it but I didn't know how.
I got an unexpected answer in the form of a mistake. You may think that it doesn't make any sense but just continue to read and trust me it makes sense eventually.
When you mess up and hurt the people who you are close to it sucks. Especially when you try to hide from the consequences. It just makes things worse. Especially wen they end up not really wanting to talk to you. Then(in my case) all you wanna do is tell them stuff that is going on in your life because that is what you do. Like how you ran into one of the last people you would want to see walking home the other night. Or the fact that all you want to do is go home.
Answers and lessons come in so many ways. Always tell the truth even when it sucks. Never hide stuff from the people who are dear to your heart because not talking to them when you need them sucks more than anything. Almost losing one of your best friends because of something ridiculously stupid is not worth going almost stir crazy in your apartment because you have no life.
Patience is a virtue. Oh man I have learned that. Giving someone the space and time that they need to adjust and trying to figure out stuff is important.
Funny how you realize that you are being taught a lesson through a huge trial. You just have to pray and have hope and the faith that you are going to come out stronger from this.
Learn from my mistake. Don't be stupid. Just the summary of that. It almost cost me something dear to me and I would do anything to fix it.
Much love!

Opportunities
Funny because roughly a week and a half ago I was like okay I am done and im going to Ohio in April.
I was so dead set on going home. I told everyone in the world basically I was going home. I was so excited. I had a countdown on my phone. And yesterday I even told my friends how long I had left here in Idaho.
I prayed this morning that I needed something good to happen. I just felt like I needed to say that so I did and went on with my day.
Well, funny story.
It was a couple of hours later I got a phone call. It was an unknown number with an area code from Salt Lake. In my mind I was like who the heck is calling me from Salt Lake. And I felt the need to answer it so I did.
Summary of that is it was a company that I applied for a couple of weeks ago when I was basically giving up on the whole job search thing and ready to just go back to Ohio. Basically they conducted a phone interview with me and then told me they wanted to have a face to face interview me on Wednesday!
Obviously Heavenly Father heard my prayers loud and clear and answered them with a full force.
I thought the timing was funny because I got a blessing yesterday from the Elder Quorum presidency in my ward and he mentioned about how I need to not give up looking for a job and that I will be blessed eventually.
So why am I blogging about it before Wednesday? Because one of my best friends already freaked out and my parents kinda gave me the whole freak out. So I decided why not share it with the world.
It makes me even more grateful for the priesthood and for priesthood blessings. I don't think anything would've happened if I didn't follow the prompting that I needed to get a blessing.
Prayers are answered if we have faith and have patience. I know I really need to work on patience but its so worth it when it comes to our prayers being answers.
To all my Ohio friends! I love you all and I will be back in the Great Ohio at some point!
Until next time!

Not Giving Up
My high school choir teacher had this flag on his wall that said, "Don't Give Up. Don't Ever Give Up."
I never realized how important that saying is until now.
I heard it throughout school and it struck me. But at the same time, I was like yes don't give up things are gonna be fine. Perfect right?
This quote came to me today as I was listening to people talk about their struggles and how they got through them. It made me realize how I was in their shoes a couple of weeks ago and all I wanted to do was give up. Life wasn't good and I was struggling so bad. I was getting advice and council from friends and loved ones and I was praying but at the same time I was getting nothing.
It wasn't until right now that I realized that giving up was the right thing to do in that situation. Trials end up making us so much stronger.
We hear that all the time, "Trials make us stronger. Be patient. I laugh at the word patience because I am not patience at all. I will totally admit that. I normally want things now and I wish I didn't have to wait for them.
Then the still small voice always whispers to me, "Be patient the time will come. Whenever I get that answer I am like what I need more than that!
Everyone is struggling with something. We have to be there for them in times of need. We also need to be patient with our future beings.
Even though I am slowly really slowly learning patience, I've come to realize I am so much stronger after recent trials. Even though I really wanted to just break down and give up I didn't. It is amazing what happens when we trust in ourselves just a little bit.
It was so worth it. Especially with the blessings I have received and the ones I am going to receive from it.
I am not going to lie when I say I am so freaked out by the future and what it could be. Only time will tell. I guess the things that freak us out the most are worth it right? Ha we will see. I have faith everything will work out eventually.
I know as long as we keep preserving and not giving up everything will work out in the end.
Until next time!
