Who would of thunk it?!!

So I know that I have not written in a while. I have had quite the busy life. But this past week I was down in Mesa, Arizona. While I was down there I had a few different experiences that helped me come to a very interesting conclusion. While I was in Arizona, I was able to go to two different LDS Temples, the Mesa and Gilbert Temples. These Houses are truly where heaven meets earth.

I was able to spend time contemplating my life and the experiences I have had. In the last five years I have had quite a few interesting experiences. I have gotten mad at My Father in Heaven for the things which have happened in my life. Both in and out of my control. I at times had felt that he was ignoring me or just did not care what was going on in my life. That he was just going to allow one thing and then another just turn into a rock slide. I felt at times that my life was hurtling down a mountain with no way to stop.  I was reminded in these two sacred buildings that My Father had not forgotten me. That I have blessings ahead of me that I do not even understand yet. That my potential is everlasting and eternal. I realized that the experiences that I am going through will help me in my life to become the Daughter that He wants me to be.

I was also able to get in contact with some friends of a friend. They are all graduated with teaching jobs. And so in a way I felt a little out of place and uncomfortable. I felt like education was for nothing. But then the Spirit spoke to my heart and reassured me. He said "Peace be unto your soul. You are doing what you are supposed to be doing. You are in Edmonton right now because you are needed." In that moment I realized that just because I do not have my dream job or am traveling the world. But I am in Edmonton because He needs me to be here. He guided my path. He wanted to "Lead me to heights that are new." I wanted to go to Korea to go teach english, and then to England, but that was just not in the cards. Then I moved to Lethbridge where I needed to be for a time as well. But then Heavenly Father lead me to Edmonton.

This section of the puzzle that we call life is coming into view. I can see that specific section. And it is beautiful. It is exactly what I wanted it to be. And more important it is was he wanted it to be. He knows who I am and he knows what I must learn to return to Him. He has guided my steps. He is the master of my life.

And now I know that it does not matter what I want my life to be. In the end my life must become His. His life must be reflected through me. If I am willing to follow His promptings He will lead me on the past that will bring me the most joy and the most peace. And I know that my trials are not over. And that there will be a lot more challenges in my life. But I know that His plan is the right plan.

I am also grateful for the knowledge of the next step of my life. A few weeks ago I met with a lady oat the University of Calgary in the Social Work program. For about a year I thought that I wanted to do Occupational Health and Safety. But I have realized that it is social work is what I want to do. I want to help people on a more personal level. I want to help people get through the parts of their puzzle that are difficult to put together. I know this is the next step of my life because when I got out of this meeting I felt a peace about my decision.

I know that Heavenly Father is in the details of my life. He has a life of joy planned for me. It is up to me to follow that path.
