I Listened....

My....where do I start?? So much has happened in the past month, and I can't help but say that I am blown away and amazed.

Three weeks ago I moved to Provo, Utah. Now if you know me at all you'll know that I was adamantly against coming out west again. In my opinion it didn't do me good to come last year, so why would it this time? Thus I debated and struggled within myself, trying to decide what the next step of my life should be. Where should I go to school? Should I take time off and just work? Should I move out of my parents house again?

I pondered over these questions again and again...it wasn't until I talked with my parents one evening, about six weeks ago, that things became clear. They voiced there opinions and feelings regarding me that they had in the past while, and as they spoke the spirit wispered plainly what I should do.

It was time for me to swallow my pride and move to Provo.

So three weeks later, here I was. Moved in and in the midst of an adventure of whose outcome I had to idea. But it became clear to me, very quickly, that I had made the right decision. For the first time in a long time, I felt peace. I felt the comfort and blessing of knowing that I was in the right place at the right time. I don't have the ability to describe the overwhelming emotion this knowledge envokes within me.

I am happy. Truly and completely happy. Most days are wonderful, even if I don't ever do anything really significant besides job hunting. I wake up in the morning and I can't help but feeling blessed.

Already I've made some great friends, and I've done exciting things. I've been out on great dates, gone to fun get-together's, and had adventures I never dreamed of. And it's only been a few weeks!!

It would be a sin to not publicly express my thanks to my Lord for pushing me to take this leap of faith. Things in my life finally seem to me to be full of promise and happiness, and it's all because of one thing.

I listened.
