Winds of Change

Something new is headed my way.

Something good, exciting. 

I'm not quite sure what it is exactly but I can just feel it. 

Which is weird because things haven't been great or anything.  Like on Wednesday, the family I work for informed me that they wont be needing me to work for them after next week.  Being a nanny was surprisingly a very fulfilling  job.  And I'm not going to lie, I am super attached to my girls, so I have shed [quite] a few tears over this. 

(Aren't they just the most darling little girls ever??!!)

But for some reason, somewhere inside me, I knew it was coming and I feel like there is something bigger, and very important waiting for me out there.


I also know that this year is going to be such a powerful year for the Westminster College institute.  I have never felt more inspired to serve and share the gospel before.  I know that going to Westminster was no mistake, I know that receiving a scholarship to a college in Utah with such a small LDS population was no coincidence.  It is preparing me for so many things in life, including my mission, but it has also strengthened my testimony so much and has taught me to look at the gospel from a completely different perspective. 
Part of my calling on the institute council is to make sure that everyone is aware of institute, and also to try and invite as many people to come as possible.  I have (for the first time ever) absolutely no doubt that this is where the Lord wants me to be.  It is an incredible feeling!


There is also the fact that I have [FINALLY] decided to go to a singles ward.  A LOT of people have asked me WHY I want to go to singles ward now that I have decided to officially start my mission papers.  Well I can't give a straight answer because the fact is I DON'T KNOW! It just feels right.  Now, it's not really because I want to date or "try to get married" instead of going on a mission.  I am just at the point in my life where I am ready.   I am ready to socialize.  I am ready to make new friends.  I am ready to be surrounded by people my age that believe what I believe (since I don't get that too much from school).  It's the first time I want to make the effort and get out of my darn comfort zone!  And it just feels right.  So I am doing it ;)


I am just excited right now.  I am excited to be getting busy again and feeling like I am working on something meaningful.
