Week 3 - Life changing

Wow. Ummm.. This week we received some life changing news!! And there are only a few things that change your life drastically. I won't share yet but I bet you have already guessed it. Maybe I will share soon :). The only thing you need to really know is that basically this week was amazing. It was also exhausting and stressful but boy oh boy, I would say like usual the good always outweighs the bad.

I am currently in a state of shock and just realizing that everything that I am doing right now will greatly affect what is to come soon. Life is so precious and it is so important that we spend it doing the things that matter most to us. No use in wasting time with the things that don't really allow us to progress and become better.

I will admit because of the events that happened this week it made it a lot harder to focus on school. But as I was able to go over the readings of the week and watch the video I was very pleasantly surprised to see how well everything very much correlated with all that happened. Specifically the reading 'How will you measure your life?' really reminded me that first things always need to come first. Often times we will come to a cross roads where we will have to make a decision that requires some sort of sacrifice. Many people have dreams and goals with their career and often sacrifice their family relationships to get that. Also I have seen and experienced where choosing family matters or other important spiritual things over career choice has led me to give up certain things that were really hard but well worth it. Because, I know who I am and I know what matters most to me. It is so important that I keep that in perspective and overcome the fears that I have so I can be ultimately happy in all aspects of my life.

The days keep rolling on and progression is continuing to happen. I was put in many new situations this week at work that were very stressful and difficult but as I kept a prayer in my heart and reminded myself of what is most important I was able to get through it.

I am just SO grateful for families and for the opportunity to have one of my own. The Gospel is a wonderful blessing and being able to learn in a way that is enhancing my abilities not only spiritually but temporally!
Happy week :)
