Where do I begin? I suppose gratitude is a good place to start. haha
I cant begin to express my gratitude for the opportunities I've had this past month. I've been able to meet different people and to experience different things and to learn more about myself. I truly believe that there are no coincidences in this life. Everything happens for a reason. I don't always understand the reasons why certain things take place, but I do know that if I allow myself; I can learn, grow and change for the better from those things. I've had some recent experiences that have definately helped me to take a good, hard, look at my life. I've been blessed with people who have helped me to open up and see things from a different perspective. You see, one day I decided to ask God for more dating opportunities. I was feeling lonely and frustrated and just really wanted a chance to prove myself. Well, believe me...I got more than what I thought I was bargaining for. haha
I won't go into all the details but even though its only been a month since things began changing for me, I feel like a different person alltogether. Some of it is good and some of it, well...not so good. I've had the opportunity to have my eyes opened to those weaker characteristics of myself that aren't the most charming and I've also experienced things that have caused me to redefine what I want and what I'm looking for. It never ceases to amaze me either how dependant on God I am for ALL things. Its soo important to keep Him close at all times and in all things and in ALL places. I've seen through others how crucial it is to stay close to the Savior and to have His spirit as a guide. Sometimes the things we want the most can overpower the promptings of the Spirit and that can cause us to be deceived from what is right and what we need.
I am grateful for God knowing me better than I know myself and for Him allowing me opportunities that help me grow and that testify He is in control and knows me BEST. I'm grateful that I don't always get the things I'm asking for. I know that truly the BEST things in life ARE worth Living & Waiting For. I'm willing to keep living & waiting and working because in the end its going to be AMAZING!
