So I have had some realizations over the past couple of months.....
One is that many times things happen in our life and we don't realize why tell later, so we just have to put trust in the Lord and keep moving forward...
You will have people come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime...I truely believe this because there are people that have come into my life that I never thought would leave it, but then I realize that they came into my life for a reason because I learned a valuable lesson. Sometimes people come into your life for a season because you needed them at that moment in time, and they made your life easier or they helped you get through a hard time. Then there are the people that come into your life for a lifetime, and that will stay with you through the thick and thin, and the people that will forgive you no matter what..I think these are the people that are sent to you to be your angels here on earth.
These people in my life are my FAMILY!
My Friends!
Another realization I had is that many times I sit there and I think about the bad things that have happened to me, but I fail to see the blessings that come along with the bad things that happen to me. For example yesterday I was traveling from Cedar to my parents house in Cedar Hills. Well I was traveling in an awful snowstorm and it was so scary!
While I was going through Nephi, and this trailor swerved in front of me, so instead of hitting the trailor I swerved to the side and went off the road into the median!
I thought I was for sure going to go into oncoming traffic but my car stopped.
I sat there terrified, but felt so lucky I didn't hit any other cars. My car did ended up getting stuck so I had to get pulled out by a tow truck which wasn't free! It cost me $60 dollars.
I also had this cop come up to me right after if happened, and he said I had been traveling too fast in this weather, because he was watching me. He didn't even ask if I was okay! He instead just gave me a ticket for improper lane travel! I was pissed! I didn't even travel into another lane!
It was either hit the trailor in front of me or swerve off the road.
I also remember having the prompting to get off at the first exit in Nephi, but I ignored it and thought instead I should probably try to hurry and get home before the weather gets worse! If only I would have listened I probably would have never been in this mess!
Here I was so scared and sitting there in my car. I almost felt like if I got back on the road I was going to die. I wanted to stop and not even attempt to make it home. I think that is how it is many times in life! We just want to give up when we are so close to accomplishing a goal or if life just gets to hard. But we can't! I want to make it home one day again to my Heavenly Father and I can't give up on that!
I like to think of my savior and all the hard things that he has gone through for me! He never once gave up and neither will I! Alot worse things could have happened to me when I went off the road, but they didn't and I am OK! It was scary but instead of gripeing about the money I lost from the tow and the ticket I should realize that I still have my life, and that I didn't get harmed, and my car is ok. Life is good, and I am going to live it to the fullest! I am thankful for the gospel even though at times I take it for granted! I am glad that I know where I come from, and where I am going!
I am going to lift my head a little taller, and realize that I can do this! We can all do this adventure we call life together:)
