It's crazy to think that two years ago my life changed. I knew that I had to go and serve the Lord by spreading this wonderful Gospel to all those who would hear it. Eight weeks ago my life changed again. This time in a way that I never expected it to. Many of you who may read this (if any) already know what has happened. If you don't know feel free to ask and I'll tell or click here to read an article my dad wrote about the accident.
These past eight weeks I've learned that Heavenly Father has a special plan for all of us and that includes stretching our limits. Some people say, and I've been known to say, that God won't give us anything we can't handle. I've changed my stance on that. I know he gives us things we can't handle. We can't handle them alone but with the help of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we can handle it. Heavenly Father stretches us to shape us into the people He knows we can be, whether we like it or not.
I'm great full that He loves us enough to help us stretch, to give us the tools we need to help the stretching process. It's a pain. It's hard. Sometimes we want to give up. It seems like when we get so close to what we think is our breaking point, if we allow it, the Atonement of Jesus Christ steps in. Someone shows up to help us, I like to call them Angels. They can be earthly angels or spiritual angels. I'm great full for those Angels.
I couldn't of made it these past couple months with out them. I wouldn't be here. I wouldn't have spent the past 18 months doing one of the best things I've ever done. I wouldn't be here, back up at BYU-Idaho, going to school. Yep, that's right, I'm back up at school. It's a little harder adjusting to school stuff, but I am finally getting the hang of it, I think. Either way...Here it goes again!
