The big picture

In the past, lets say 5 years, I have made some pretty big decisions. Maybe not the biggest decisions that I will make in my life but they are big ones.

My parents are on the opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to worrying. My dad is not a worrier at all and then there's my mom who is a worry-wart. I say that with as much love as I can. I feel that all 3 of us kids are somewhere along that spectrum. Jennifer seems to be more like my mom, I am usually in the middle and Jorden, I feel, doesn't really have all that many cares in the world- so more like my dad.

Maybe because of my middle ground stance on worry I kinda feel like there is a possibility of anything to occur. That's because we honestly DON'T know if something will happen in our future. Maybe I am not a realist. But we CAN'T see into our future. But there is that one person that KNOWS the whole story. From the beginning to the end. He knows how my life will pan out and what will happen and when. He knows if and when I will mess up and deviate from the path. He knows my intentions and what I truly want to do.

Maybe if I do the things that I have been taught that I am supposed to do then things will fall into place. I know that there is a path for me to follow. I just have to find that path and have faith in that path so I can end up in the right place. In the words of President Uchtdorf, "The truth is, God knows how to get there! And He has created a map for you; He knows the way. He is your beloved Heavenly Father, who seeks your good, your happiness. He desires with all the love of a perfect and pure Father that you reach your supernal destination. The map is available to all. It gives explicit directions of what to do and where to go to everyone who is striving to come unto Christ and "stand as [a witness] of God at all times and in all things, and in all places." All you have to do is trust your Heavenly Father. Trust Him enough to follow His plan."
