This week has been a week of learning. A lot of the best learning comes from experience. I have had some ups and downs this week. This entire time I have just been trying to do my best in all that I do: school, dating, etc. And to completely honest I sometime wonder why. Why did this happen to me? I was trying to do my best, yet why did I get this undesirable result. Isn't putting in a valid effort worth anything. For example in my accounting class there was a small summary of an internet accounting article we had do. And I did it, early in fact. In fact so early when my teacher asked us turn them in (hard copy) I completely forgot what the assignment was and I thought I didn't even do it. Unfortunately the paper was in my backpack the entire time. I even got my summary peer edited like he suggested. Why did I have such bad luck?
Next I have been trying to go on some dates. I get some girls' phone numbers and try to set something up and then I do! Awesome! Then all of them fall through last minute. What the heck! I am just trying to do what is right and everything just seems like its not going my way!
After multiple times of "failing" I realize how so many other things go right. I have hung out with some really cool people so far almost every night. Most of the time I get invited by roommate. Isn't it nice having true friend as a roommate?
Then at church and some girl sits next to me at sacrament meeting score!! Then I get her number and we go to a fireside together later that night!
I often don't realize to count my blessings until after I am humbled at times. But as I continue to put my trust in the Lord He strengthens me. He sees things that I can't. He shuts some doors I wish he would keep open and opens others that I wasn't initially comfortable with. As I follow the small prompting s of the spirit. I am blessed. I know that the gift of the Holy Ghost is real. What a great power it is as I follow his promptings in the faith of God's timing.
