When life gets you down just get back up when life gets you down.

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.
