What a day. It started off kinda terrifying. In Spanish my professor came to me before class and asked me to give the prayer. I swear I almost died right there...so lamely I was like "Ummm I don't know how" And he was fine with that but he is definitely coming back to ask me again. To make the class even worse he had half of us writing on the board today translating what he said. Guess who got picked. Yup me. And THEN he kept picking on my answers which of course were always wrong. And sure everyone else's answers were wrong too but I don't really know what the matter with me is in that class. I have like slight panic attacks everyday because I feel like an idiot. Seriously I used to LOVE Spanish but now it just makes me feel sick to my stomach. But I'm going to my first tutor secession tomorrow so I hope it gets better.
Luckily the day got a lot better. I miss my sewing class but it was good b/c I got to sleep which I needed so bad! And I just chilled with my roommies until work and then devotional which was all about Grace! I love that topic...I wish I understood it more of course but what I really want is to study it more.
After school I did my homework & then went to Kenzine's Ultimate Frisbee game with Effie and then we went to our service brother's house for a while. I just love our service brothers. At the beginning of the semester the ward assigned us an apartment to do service for them all the time & I was like "Well that's not service if its forced" but of course as I tried to put my pride in check & do as my leaders asked charity worked its magic & they are now some of our best friends! I love when that happens.I just love spending time with them! They have a wonderful Spirit in their home and bring a wonderful Spirit into ours when they come over.
So even though the day started out rough the Lord gave me a happy ending to today! Life is great!

In His Hands
So I've been meaning to write this entry for sometime but I've just been to lazy. Sad but true.
Anyway, I have been thinking a lot lately about my life right now and trying to see the Lord's hand more in my life. Surprisingly its been really easy to do that recently.
I don't know why it continues to surprise me that the Lord is going to give me exactly what i need to learn & grow & be happy & become more like Him as long as that is the desire of my heart.
So you know how I told you that all of my roommates are under 20? Weeeelll to be completely honest I wasn't all that happy about that when I first found out. I had every intention of going out and making other friends who were my age and/or just sitting in my room sulking the whole semester.
But, as usual, the Lord knew best. My roommates are the BEST! I cannot tell you how much each of them have been exactly what I needed at this time in my life. They don't even know the things that they have helped me to overcome! They all have such a strong Spirit and makes me want to be a better person when I am around them.
AND since the Lord never does things halfway not only has He given me the exact roommates that I need but He has also given us the exact friends that I need. I cannot tell you how many times we have been sitting in our apartment and one of our friends says the exact things that I need to hear at the exact time I need to hear it.
Maybe no one else can understand this post buuuttt to sum up I am grateful to the Lord for knowing & giving me what I need to grow the best rather then giving me what I want and/or think will help me grow. I'm am grateful that He knows me better then I know myself. Trusting Him & putting my life in His hands makes things so much easier.
So when things aren't going the way you think they should just remember...That's where faith comes in.
