Once again, I bite the dust.....

I was going to title this post, "another one bites the dust" but then I realized that I'm the one biting the dust. (Whatever that means). Another facebook status reads this morning, "(No names will be mentioned) IS ENGAGED!"

#1. I hate that status.

#2. um....i hate that status?

I will probably post that as my status when I eventually get engaged but for now, I hate it. You may say that its just because I'm jealous and that is a correct assumption. I am jealous. I'm woman enough to admit it. Especially when

#1. People younger than me are getting married (and then pregnant) and

#2. When people that got home from their missions after me are getting married. And pregnant.

Can I just say again and reaffirm the fact that the Lord really does know us. So I guess the Lord prepared me for this news this morning. I read a talk this morning by Elder Scott. Its amazing. Its called, "Trust in the Lord". Here is my favorite quote, "True enduring happiness with the accompanying strength, courage, and capacity to overcome the most challenging difficulties comes from a life centered in Jesus Christ. Obedience to His teachings provides a sure foundation upon which to build. That takes effort. There is no guarantee of overnight results, but there is absolute assurance that, in the Lord’s time, solutions will come, peace will prevail, and emptiness will be filled." I really do know thats true. And as much as I complain about it I know that it will happen in the Lords time (as hard as that may sound) as long as I am being obedient and doing all the things I need to. I know that He is preparing someone grand for me as long as I remain worthy.

I will leave you with another quote from the same talk in the spirit of Thanksgiving this weekend. "It is wisdom to open the windows of happiness by recognizing your abundant blessings."

I am blessed.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING
