Would you believe it? Jason and I are sitting next to each other productively studying. Emphasis on the word productively. I'm rather proud of our self-control, if I do say so myself. :)
I was talking to Chelsea today, and I concluded that my fate is in absolutely no way dependent upon red underwear. ;) Life's 'red' moments happen in accordance to our own choices. We choose our path. Every choice we make opens us to more opportunities in one area or another, or limits our ability to further choose or make decisions. Decisions really do determine destiny! Think of the road you took to get you where you are right this second. I'm in a study room in the Tanner Building (which I would NEVER be in if it weren't for Jason), on BYU campus (the magnitude and multiplicity of decisions that brought about that are astounding and inspiring), seated next to Jason Kay Woolsey (I don't even know everything that has played into that, but what I do know blows my mind and warms my heart), in modest shorts and a t-shirt (I am so eternally grateful to have been born in the gospel, under the covenant, to goodly parents!).
I'm not sure why I'm posting this--maybe to escape reading The Odyssey for just a little while--but I'll just end by saying that I testify the hand of the Lord is in the minute details of our lives. If we allow ourselves to be guided by the Holy Ghost's promptings--the quiet, inspired ideas that come to our minds--we will be led to the doors with the choicest blessings, the most sacred responsibilities, and the experiences we need to grow and develop into what and who our Heavenly Father needs us to become. I have realized for the millionth time in my life that happiness, contentment, and peace are cultivated and nourished in my life when it is Heavenly Father who is directing my paths.
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not to thine own understanding. In all thy ways, acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
We have the promise, we know what to do, and we can do it.
Life is a beautiful thing, girls. I love being alive. :)
