There are no words to describe the week I've had

Okay, so I think anyone that is reading this blog has already heard my big news. I'm planning on submitting my mission papers in about 8 months. While I was a counselor at EFY, I just KNEW that that was the next step in my life. So I made the VERY VERY difficult decision to move back in with my mom in order to save up money and I've slowly been coming across different solutions to possible problems with going on a mission. I've been weeding through in my apartment. I'll be first to admit that there are times where I am doing things on sheer hope that the sacrifices will all be worth it. Then, I have weeks like this week. Weeks where it's impossible to believe that I doubted that decision. Once I knew that I was supposed to go on a mission. I started ACTING on that inspiration, revelation, or whatever you want to call it. OH MY GOSH!!!! It is so amazing how many blessings you get when you show your faith in God and act on even the littlest glimmer of what you think might be whisperings of the Holy Ghost. I've learned that some of the greatest blessings come from not necessarily KNOWING you need to do something, but doing it because you believe it's right. (does this make sense to anyone but me...I'm trying to put it in words, but it is just so difficult) Over this past week, it has become VERY clear to me that God knows exactly what we need and He sees that it is done. God acts through ANYONE. Whether it is through a stranger at a bookstore, or through someone that you have had several brief encounters with. My session director the first week of EFY (like the "dad" of everyone there) said that if you write down all your questions or concerns, then forget about them and just lose yourself in living righteously and serving others, all those questions and concerns will eventually be taken care of. This has been made crystal clear to me. I am SOOOO thankful for the great blessings brought into my life by people that may think that they are doing nothing or that they are just doing a little favor. What may be "nothing" to us may be, and often is "everything" to others. More often than we know, those little acts that may seem little or small, are answers to long hours of prayer and pleading for help or answers.
