This week, I'm extremely thankful for my amazing roommates. I was really nervous to come down to Snow all by myself, not knowing the girls I would be living with for the next school year, but honestly, it couldn't have worked out any better. We're already so close and having so much fun. I know Heavenly Father put us together for a reason.
I'm also thankful for the scriptures. Namely the Book of Mormon. I've never been really good at staying on top of my scripture study, but since I've moved out and had to do things for myself, I've been so much better reading and studying my scriptures. I know that's why these past couple of weeks have been so amazing. When you have the Lord on your side, life is just plain better. It's almost as if you become a whole new person. Things don't always go your way; you'll still have hardships, but with the Lord, you can overcome anything.
This one will be a little cliche, but it fits. I'm thankful for this new opportunity. I've been living on my own for almost two weeks now, and it's been such an eye opener. I've met so many amazing people these past couple weeks. I've learned so much (one thing being how to put out a kitchen fire). I've learned how to take chances; how to follow my heart. I've learned that life is about taking chances. What would life be without a little risk?
Sometimes, life doesn't seem like it's going your way; but it is. It may now seem like it, but Heavenly Father knows what He's doing, and He'll never give you a trial that you can't overcome. Just remember what you're thankful for. When it comes down to it, this life is pretty amazing. We just have to be looking for the amazing. It's there.
Happy Thursday!
