Good, Better, Best

The past month has been kind of crazy, but I have learned a lot. I have learned that if I try to make things happen that it usually does not work out the way that I want it. I have learned to put my trust in my Heavenly Father and allow Him to guide my life. I know He will not make decisions for me, but if I listen to His council, I will helped in making the choice that is best for me. Some of the decisions I have had to make have not been easy. It can be really hard to give up something good for something better and even harder to give up something better for the best thing. I love this quote from Elder Oaks, "As we consider various choices, we should remember that it is not enough that something is good. Other choices are better, and still others are best. Even though a particular choice is more costly, its far greater value may make it the best choice of all." That last part really speaks to me at this time in my life. I know that I am doing my Heavenly Father's will and even though it's hard, it will all be worth it in the end. I am so happy right now and I am being so blessed because I have chosen to do what Heavenly Father knows is right for me instead of what I want to be right.
