Things Changes...

Today I was thinking about changes we all go through in life...I don't know why I was thinking of that, but it started me on a thought... and the thought is that we as humans never stay the same. 

We are always changing, growing, and learning something different every single day of our lives. Who we are today, will not be the exact same person as tomorrow. And as we keep living our lives...we keep changing, and we keep becoming...DIFFERENT...

...And I love that. I love knowing that when I look back at myself next week, and see who I was right now, I would be just a little bit different, and hopefully a little bit smarter. =) So....knowing that we all change,


and that our lives will move right along with the ticking time...why are we always so worried about the tiny little things that make our lives more difficult then they should?? 

I know as a girl, I always worry about embarrassing myself, or doing something stupid in front of other people, or sometimes just being the true weird me, and being afraid that someone is going to judge me for it! (I mean..come on! it happens right???...)

I mean, it might just be me, but those are serious legit tiny little things that I worry about all the time, and really, when it comes down to it, those tiny moments that I am so afraid would ruin my life forever, doesn't really actually matter that much..because guess what?? I am going to change, and I am going to get smarter, and those tiny moments that make me blush and think that 'my life is over' would be long forgotten by the time my life is actually over. (thank goodness...haha) 

So, you might be asking me why does this even matter? Where am I going with this?? Well, to be honest, I don't really know. But I do know that lately, I have been bothered and annoyed by all of those nonsense little things that seems to be crossing my path! Every single time an unplanned event pop up in my life, I just completely loose track of the big picture, and forget that just because one little thing has ruined my day, it has not ruined my life. 

My life will change, and 10 years from now, all of those things I have been angry at this week, won't even leave a little dent in my life! I won't care if a car cut me off and passed me on the street, and I won't even remember the cash register guy at the grocery store taking longer then 5 minutes to check me out, or even that random guy on campus that push the door into my face! All of those are little things, and as time goes on, and as I keep changing, and my views becoming different, those small events won't even leave a dent into what my life will become. 

Now, I don't want you to mistake that the everyday things that we learn in our lives won't affect us. Because they do. All the knowledge we get, and things we learn will affect us to be the person we will be in the future. Everything we go through shape who we are, but those tiny little nonsense things that we always worry about...well, those don't matter. All they do is make us upset and angry. They don't bring us joy, or teach us many valuable lessons...other then maybe gaining some patience...and well...I guess that is important too..but that is for another day...

So...lets do something different the next time an annoying event cross our paths. Lets remember that no matter how annoying the situation is, it is okay. All you have to do its to get over it, and fix whatever problem there is. There is no reason to get angry because of a stupid comment someone made about us or our family, or us being silly and forgetting something at work or at home...because in the long run..those little things wont' affect the changes we will all go through as human beings. 

We are the only ones that can control our future, along with our loving Heavenly Father. Time will always be moving on, and we can't stop it. WE learn every day, and change every day. And that is good. That is part of the joy in life. And we should never forget that. We should be stronger and happier, and not let those little things bring us down...because really...in the long run, they will mean nothing compare to all the improvements and things we have accomplished in our lives...

So I rather choose to be happy and grateful for all the things I have in my life. I am going to try my best next time when something annoying comes along to just be happy, and remember that no matter what it is, it won't change me..it will just make me angry..and I don't want to be angry! I want to be different!!! I am going to try my best to enjoy my life to the best of my ability!!! And I hope you are going to also! 

Try your best to remember that no matter what happens, things will change, and who we are today, won't be who we are 6 months from now.....so just stop worrying about all those little annoying things, and focus on the happiness of life, and see the big picture! I know it doesn't sound easy, and trust me, it's not! But if you really put your heart to it, and just remember to always keep the happiness in your heart, your life would be so much happier and care free!!! =) Just try it! I promise you won't regret it! And at last, try your best, to be your best! Because as always, I am!!! 

Thanks for reading!!!

Q2

That one great friend..

You know that phrase?? The one that everybody always groan at, and roll their eyes toward, but deep down inside, they know it's true? Come on, you know the one I am talking about. The one that goes, 

"Everything happens for a reason, you just have to wait and see why..." 

I don't know about you, but that quote always makes me kind of impatient and annoyed...even though I know it is true with all my heart. I have seen it played out, over and over again. The problem isn't that I don't trust or believe in it, the problem is in the waiting part. I don't have patience, and everybody that knows me can tell you that. So even though I know it is true, sometimes the waiting part just gets the better of me. 

There are times when I don't even want to wait anymore and start to sulk around, not really caring. I don't want to care, because I am done waiting. I just want to know the answer, and the more impatient I get, the more agitated I get. And sometimes, that can turn out to be real bad, bad enough that my impatients starts to get on other people nerves too. And that is the moment when I get my much needed wake up call... 

The moment when everybody around me just look at me and stare, with all the same expression. The expression of "Geez Q, just calm down will you??"  (haha...) They tell me that time over time, reminding me that everything is going to turn out fine, and that no matter what I was experiencing, there will be a reason for it in the end. All my friends and family around me will do their best to be patient towards me, and to remind me they still love me and care about me. And in the end, that is really all that matters right? Support and love?.. =) 

But you know what the most amazing thing is?? The most amazing thing about this is the moment when your brian is finally focused, and your eyes are cleared...that moment when everything falls back in perspective, and you see the complete bliss's you actually have in front of you. Yes, maybe you don't have the answer you are looking for, and yes, maybe you don't really know where to go still, but that doesn't matter. Because you have something that is worth so so so much more. 

You have your support system, full of people that loves and strengthen you. Your parents who never gave up on you; who always told you to keep going and pushing. Your sister/brother that has never left your side, who has hold your hand and hug you whenever you needed. Your friends who would drop everything without a second hesitation, and just be where you need them. All of these people were there for me, whenever I needed, wherever I needed, waiting until I came back to being myself. (which believe me...it took a while....)

Okay, now I know you guys must all be thinking about why in the world I am even talking about this. Well, let me tell you...

Lately, I have been going through one of those exact phase. I had something kind of traumatic happen, and it totally threw me back, and shock me, almost to the core. (almost...haha) I had one of those moments where I was just so done in waiting for the answer, or even caring about the reason behind it. I didn't see, or I guess want to see the lesson that this trial was trying to teach me. I started to get really down on myself, and I literally stopped caring. 

I was constantly complaining, and grumpy. My conversations never seemed to end well, and eventually, I started to see that Look. The look from everybody. Even strait down to my co-workers. But even that didn't stop me. It didn't snap me back.  Until one day...

That one day when it finally got enough for one of my closest friend. That friend that has always been there for me, but finally just had enough. I blew up at her for absolutely no good reason, and it really didn't end well. We were both angry, and I thought I had every single right to be. I didn't see what was wrong, and I didn't want to see. I was just sooooo mad. I didn't realize it at that time, but my true anger wasn't coming from her, and the small issue we were fighting over wasn't the issue either.....

No, I never told her this (that is why I am writing it now...), but it was over something deep inside me. Something I still don't understand completely, but something I realize that was affecting my emotional behavior. Something that just completely knock me over the edge, and gave such a immature performance towards this wonderful friend of mine. 

I don't know the exact moment when I realize this simple truth. The truth about the true origin of my anger. It might have been after this good friend and I talked, and worked things out. It might be at the moment when I lay down in bed, and thought over my day, or even the moment when we laughed and had fun with each other for the first time since after the fight. I don't know...but I do know the truth of what I saw...and it was a beautiful truth that almost took my breath away.. 

It was the truth of how this friend truly loves me. She truly cared for me, and haven't given up on me. She was there, even when I was angry at her for no reason. She stood there, and the last thing she said to me before we ended the fight was "i love you..." After I had yelled at her for a full 15 minutes for something so minor, she had the heart and love to tell me that she loves me! I mean...it was something that completely shocked me! It took me a couple seconds, but I finally reply it back to her, but it seemed like minutes. It was in that moment when I saw the truth of my own love.

I do love this wonderful friend. She means so much to me, and she really has been through so much because of me, and has been through so much with me. She hasn't given up on me, like so many other people had. She was there, and even in my most unreasonable moment, she still loved me. Sitting across from her everyday after our argument has reminded me of that. It also reminds me of a greater love. The lover our Savior has for us. Her behavior that day showed so much of the Christ-like love. She didn't have a good reason to care for me, but she did, just as the Savior does for every one of us, each and every day. 

He knows us, and he understands us. And sometimes, He knows we get impatient or angry, or even mean. We make mistakes, and we become unreasonable, just like human mortals do. But the amazing part is that He understands, and He doesn't care. He might be a little disappointed for a while, but the Savior will always forgive us if we realize our own wrong doings, and repent. No matter what happens, He always will give us unconditional love. He is the only one in the world that truly and completely understands what we are going through, and why we did what we did; so therefore, He is also the only person that can save us with infinite grace and love. 

Isn't that just completely amazing?? I love that truth, and I am so grateful to have it in my life. I am also soooo grateful for such a good friend of mine that understands it too, and who was a big enough person to show that unconditional love towards me. I am writing this blog for me, but just as much for her to know that no matter what, I will always remember that moment, when she became such a great example of the Saviors love, and gave my back the clarity, and calmness I needed. 

Now, you might ask do I know what I need to know now? Has the answer been given to me? No. Am I still a little impatient? Yes. But that is okay. Why? It's because of my great friend that has helped me gained my clarity back. I am back on track, and I know that no matter what happens, everything will be OKAY. =) don't you dare groan.... 

So, the take home message for you is that I know life is tough. I know there are things that test our patience, and fog our clarity. And it is during those times when we start to get off track a little. But those are the moments we need to stay strong the most. Look around you, and realize the support system you have. Rely on them, and trust in them. And then in return, be part of a support system yourself. Give strength to others, and show them unconditional love just as my friend gave to me. You don't know what impact that can have.. It can change..well, everything. 

Keep trying your best to show unconditional love like our Savior, and to stay patient and clear minded. Don't get off track, but it is oka if you do! Just hurry and find your way back! =) I love you guys so much, and thanks so much for reading this very long post! haha.. 

Remember! Try your best to be your best!!! 

Love,

Q

something on my mind....

You know that moment when you realize that there's something on your mind for the longest time, but you don't exactly know what it is? And that thought or thing just keeps popping up in your mind over and over again, making it so hard for you to focus on things you actually get to do?? It gets pretty annoying, doesn't it? Well, if you answered yes to that question, I will have you know that my answer will be exactly like yours.

Now...why am I going on this whole tangent about annoying things in your mind? Well, let me tell you. Lately, I have many concerns in my mind that keeps bothering me, and keeps popping up that won't leave me alone! One day in class, I realize that I have just been zoning for 30 mins, thinking and wondering about things, and completely, totally not getting anything out of it except an F in my next school assignment. haha...

Okay...so that wasn't really funny...you know why it wasn't funny? It is because it wasn't the first time it has happened that day, but like the 10th time. I couldn't understand what I keep getting distracted...and it was really frustrating. But through all that frustration, my luck started changing. And it started changing by me walking into my New Testament class.

Once class started, everything around me started to fade away, because the first principle my professor started to talk about was the fact of our lovely wondering minds. He said that a wondering mind means there is something more there to worry and ponder about that is worth more then beating yourself over. He said when the mind wonders, it is subconsciously telling you something you should be acting on. He told us that rather then worrying about the wondering thoughts, and silly worries in your mind, and to take them to the Lord instead. The Lord, he said will calm your mind, and will direct you to find a answer to you question, and worries within your brain. =) 

So...guess what I did instead of beating myself up for a wondering mind?? I went and I ponder about it. I thought hard about what was in my mind, and I looked nside me to find what I needed to know so once again I will be able to pay attention to class and work. As soon as the lesson was over that day, I went home, and I turned my problems towards the Lord, and ask him what needed to be done.

I ask him what is needed to be done, and what he will have me do so I can understand what my wondering mind was actually trying to tell me. By the end of my pondering session, I realize all along why I felt the way I did, and what I needed to do to solve my worries. But what I really needed was the Spirit and guidance of the Lord to push me along, and show me the way. And that is what He exactly did. He loves me, and he wants me to be the best I can. As I turn my wondering thoughts to Him, he puts it back into the place I need it the most, and give me answers. I love that! Because by that realization, I know that He loves me, and he always have, and always will.

I hope you guys will take that realization also, and turn to him when you have a wondering mind! Because I promise you, you won't regret it!

Try your best to be your best!

love,
Q

Relationships...

So, here I am, sitting on my bed, not being able to fall asleep. I haven't had this feeling in a while, but right now, I just really, really need to share my opinions about the world. Well, more specifically about the social norms in our Brigham Young University world. 

Okay, not to dis on BYU, because i love it tremendously, but I mean seriously?? Who ever said that 20 was too old to be single?? I mean what the heck is that? I hear girls all the time, and they are like "Oh...look at me, I am 20, and I am so old and pathetic because I am single....hahaha..." I am totally not joking...those are the exact words that comes out, and I hear that sentence like every single day of my life, and sometimes, sadly, those exact words come out of my mouth! (I don't know what has gotten into me lately....=P)

 I mean, come on people...how in the world did being single and living life like a regular college student became a bad thing? Why is it that the social norms around here is that you have to be dating somebody, or be engaged, or even have dates to be cool? I hear conversations all the time around campus that sounds something like, "Man, all of my roommates are on dates, and I am just so boring and not cool because I sit home all day and do homework...!" 

Okay, reality check guys, having dates are not the things that makes you successful in life, homework and education is! If you don't get that concept, then I am sorry, because you are paying over 2000$ for tuition to get an education, and not a husband or wife!!! I might be sounding harsh, but that is the total truth....value your money, and your time in college to learn, so you can secure a better future, and a husband/wife to go with that beautiful future! That should be your goal, not how many dates you can get in the same week!

Also, another thing that is bugging me way too much about relationships is all the mind games that goes with them! When did falling in love become such a complicated thing? Why are guys and gals always second guessing themselves with how they look, or what the other thinks of them, or if their response is witty enough? Or the unbelievably long and complicated process of getting the first date because of all the different questions, and silly things we have to think about and analyze first before it becomes 'acceptable' to date someone?

I mean, doesn't that get tiring?! If they really like you, they wouldn't really care if you put too much emoticons in your text, or how silly you might of sound then! Being in a relationships isn't about who is better with words, or who sounds smoother with a pick up line! It is about liking that person, and wanting to learn more, and spend more time with that person. It's about truly, and completely falling in love with their personality, and not their usage of English words, or how good they are with mind games, and their ability to guess your thoughts!

I so miss all of those childhood times where you just watch Disney, and you watch the princess and prince Chraming fall in love so easily, and effortlessly. Before the times where you have to worry about the differences between a winky smiley face, and a regular smiley face..and talking with your roommates.like...

"OMG!!!! He gave me a winky face!!! That is so good....right? Oh wait...what if that was like a typo...or if it means completely something different? ahhhh!! now I am so confused!!" 

(because that is wayyyyy more important then the conversation itself...)

I don't know how, or when, but suddenly, relationships just became too complicated, and nit picky for me. I don't want to be in a relationship where I have to think for hours of what to say to a guy, or the problem of if I should text him first or wait for him..., or even the fact that he doesn't use enough emoticons in our text and conversations. That to me, is completely irrelevant, because liking a guy, and being in a relationship should matter on real emotions, and real personality. The feeling of falling in love should be something that can't ever be describe over a text, or a phone conversation. It should be a feeling that you will never forget, one that completely knocks you over your feet. 

 

Love should be about knowing, and loving every single part about your significant other. It's about laughing at all the silly things that you both say without really thinking about it because you don't really care about what the other person thought about the text, all you care is about the person themselves, and the fun times you have with them. It should be about making memories that will never be forgotten, and will be cherished forever. 

Relationships should be about going on silly and fun dates that enhance the experience with each other, not the quality of the meal that was provided, or if things were perfect enough or not, because if you truly care about that other and enjoy being around them, the date will be perfect regardless or anything else. It is about building trust towards each other without all of the mind games, and one day taking that leap to become husbands and wife for eternity through the blessings of the Temple. =)Although what I am saying today is most likely not true for other parts of the world, or in different college campuses, but it completely applies to BYU, and I am here, officially say that I disprove of it! 

Being 20 really shouldn't be about going on all the dates you can, and worrying about who you are going to marry. It shouldn't be a time where you get upset at yourself because you are single, and think you are pathetic, because you are not! To all the girls and guys out there that might read this and think that they are, stop it! Being single at 20 is completely normal, because in the real world, having a husband/wife is a great thing, but having a good education and career is a even better thing. Don't worry about having not enough dates, or not enough texts from boys! Spend that energy doing your best in school, and I promise that one day, that one Flynn Rider or Rapunzel will appear in your life, not because of your ability in sending a good text, or ability to play good mind games, but by the glow of your knowledge, personality, and genuine character! 

Okay...now that I have said all of that, I feel a whole lot better. I hope to anyone that is reading this, that I didn't offend you. If I did, I apologize, but I won't change my opinions or thoughts about this topic. I feel so strongly about it, I really hope someone will read this, and realize a true meaning of relationships besides the hour long conversations over text, and the forever long mind games that they play. Coming to BYU should be about our education, and living a college students life, learning lessons, and making memories of our own that will shape us and define us. Being single and 20 is a wonderful thing, and it is the prime time to make yourself a better person, with skills and education to later find that one perfect man who will knock you off your feet, and be with you for the rest of your life.

So go!!!

Live your life!

Have fun, and stop feeling pathetic because you don't have a date tonight! Just dance, run around, and be happy! That, my friend, is what life, college, and relationships should be about! It should be you making your own memories, learning your own lessons, and finding that one person that don't care about all the dramas of the social norms, but one who truly cares about you, and loves you for exactly who you are.

Try your best to be your best! Because, as always, I am! Have a good week, and remember, being single isn't pathetic!!!

Love,
Q2!

Just stop worrying about the world...

I have came up with a conclusion lately about life...and that conclusion is to just not worry about life. 

I mean, there are always going to be stresses, and unfortunate events in our lives, like a dead computer, or a wreck car, or ever cancer. Those things sucks, and life might seem horrible around those hard and trying times, but in the end, everything will be okay. 

I know that is such a cliche saying, and whenever you hear that you just want to groan, and scream "why" on the top of your lungs and just throw a temper tantrum....but other then that being completely immature, and not helpful, it would just be a waste of time and energy...you know why? Because the Lord above knows all, and he controls all, and he is in every single part of our lives.

The Lord above has given us everything...right down to our little toe nails and finger nails, and in turn, he can guide where our lives are suppose to go. In my New Testament class today, we were talking about how the Lord can control our situations, and with everything, he will bring us out of that bad situation, and into something better, but only at his timing. Our own jobs is to live faithfully, and to always trust that no matter how hard life gets, there is always a way out. We have to enjoy life, and we have to live it to the best of our abilities...that is one of the main reason why we are on Earth today, to prove ourselves to be a true sons and daughters of our Heavenly Father. 

So in the mean time, before we get to the end of our journey in this life, we should just not worry, and have fun in our lives. Spend some time going crazy with your roommate because of a boy crush, or go out and run in the rain and snow, because it is completely crazy and unreasonable. Go to school and work, and just have fun with your friends and co-workers, laughing at life, and making fun of silly things, because really, what else is there better to do? haha... 

So, I mean, this is a very simple and silly post, but the point is very simple also. DONT WORRY ABOUT LIFE! Everything will work out, if you just let the Lord guide you and protect you. He is in everything, and he knows everything. Just remember that, and I promise this world will become a lot simpler, and happier, and easier to you! 

Anyways, that is all I have to say today. =) Hope you guys have a great week! Try your best to be your best, because as always, I am! =) 

Love,

The Knowledge with one word....

Week 2 - 

Hey my friends, so...ready for another preaching session from me? Haha....I bet you are! Here goes...

You know those moments when you feel a prompting, but aren't exactly sure if it was the Spirit or not? Sometimes you doubt what your heart is telling you because you just don't know for sure if it is what you are suppose to do, or what you want to do, right?? I might be the only weird one, but I sure get that feeling a lot. A lot of the time, even when I do feel the spirit, I don't actually acknowledge it the first moment...I have to wait over and over again for the spirit to manifest itself, and by then, it's too late. 

But I mean, what can we do to know for certain that what we are feeling is the spirit, and the prompting of the Lord?? How can we react on the first moment, instead of doubting over and over again until its too late? I didn't know how for sure until my lesson in my NT class in Acts, ch.9, vs.10. 

In that chapter, Saul (of Paul) has just seen the light of the Lord, and heard the voice of the Redeeming Christ, asking him why he was persecuting all of Christ's children, the believers in Christianity. After that encounter, and of Paul's repentance, they were sent unto the city of Damascus. 

Now, here is the main part of the lesson today. When Paul was heading towards his journey in the beginning  he was carrying letters to Damascus to arrest all the people of Christian faith, and send them to prison, or even to their deaths. Within that city was a man and a priest named Ananias. He was a very faithful, and wonderful man of the faith, and very in tune with the spirit. In Vs. 10 of Ch. 9, the Lord came to him, and all he had to say was one word: Ananias. Without a second of a doubt, Ananias stood, and said, "I am Here Lord." 

Without a second of a doubt, Ananias knew that it was the Lord calling him, and asking for his help. Ananias didn't have to think twice, he just stood up and answer the Lord, always ready to listen to Him, and do as He asks. Isn't that just amazing? This one mortal man, who has devoted his life to the Church, was so in tune to the Lord that just by one call of his name, and one spark of the spirit, he knew it was the Lord, and he was ready to answer and be at his service. 

So looking back at our lives, isn't the answer that we proposed before just answered? The spirit is always here with us if we are faithful, but that isn't the key. The key is if we are ready to listen to the spirit or not. The key is to be in tune, always and forever to what the spirit, or the Lord has to tell us. We should always strive to be like Ananias, where no matter what is happening, or how hard life is, we are ready to answer to the Lord in the manner of just one word, and be ready to answer, "yes Lord, I am here." 

There are always hard choices in life. There are always times where we are searching for the answers, but never seem to find them. I know because I have been through so much of those times, and I wish I was more in tune to the spirit like Ananias, and listened to the spirit that was always there to guide me and strengthen me. I know that if each and every one of us strive to be better, and more in tune with the spirit, we won't have those times where we rock back and forth from decisions, or be doubtful of what the spirit is actually trying to tell us. If we strive to be better, we will be able to stand up and and "yes Lord, I am here," on the very first prompting from the Gift that should be so dear to us. I know this to be true, and I am striving every day to be able to be like Ananias, and answer without a shadow of doubt to the Lord, from the very first moment he asks of me. 

Try your best, to be your best, as always!

Q2

The Lord's own timing....

So, it's been a while since I have posted anything huh?? 

Well, first let me apologize for being lazy, and incompetent in my blogging skills lately, and I promise that I will start doing better from now on. =)

Second, I decided that each week to keep up with my blogging, I will put out an inspirational post for everyone who still reads my blog. haha... I am currently in a New Testament class for school, and the teacher is just so amazing in his words, and teachings. Every single class inspires me to be better, and do better, and always teaches me a lesson that I know will make me a better person for the rest of my life. 

So, instead of keeping those valuable lessons within myself, I decided to share it with the rest of the world.

Sometimes in life, we wonder why things are so hard. We wonder why we have spent so many nights on our knees asking for answers, and blessings, but they still haven't come.  Sometimes things get so dark that we begin to get jealous of others that seems to be having more blessings then we are. It is during those times when we have to remember that the Lord Jesus Christ and our loving Heavenly Father knows all that is going to happen.

In Acts Chapter 3 of the New Testament, there is a parable about a layman. Day after days, years after years he sat by the gates of the temple mount. It was within those exact years  that Jesus was preforming his mortal ministry. Now...think about it. How many times must have the Layman watch Jesus preform miracles of healing for the blind and the disease? How many time must he have thought to himself, "what is wrong with me? Why can't I be healed?" Also, another point, think about what must have been within Jesus' mind when he sees that layman sitting there by the temple gate, thinking about that poor layman that will one day serve a bigger purpose then he knows. This one cripple man, older then the age of 40, will one day become the instrument for the Lord to bring  1500 men unto the gospel.

Now, here is the coolest part of the parable. After Jesus' resurrection and ascension up into Heaven, Peter and John continued their way to preach the gospel to the Jews. Their daily route includes a trip to the temple grounds right at the praying hour. As they were climbing the grand staircase up to the temple grounds that day, the Layman put out his hands, and all he asked for was some alms. 

Now Peter, poor and rich-less, said unto the Layman "Gold and Silver I have none, but I say until you, rise, stand, and walk." Now, again, I ask you to think...this man who haven't use his legs all 40+ years of his life, they must be disgusting and deformed. But as Peter reaches his hand down to pull the layman up, his feet was filled with strength, and up he went skipping into the temple grounds, singing with joy, and praising the Lord. This man that hasn't walked his whole life, who has been wondering through all his years why he wasn't healed by the Lord himself, was finally walking, and for the first time entering the holy grounds of the temple. This miracle for him that happened out of the blew, beyond his imagination of timing, completely changed him, and everyone that saw him walk on that very day. Because of his faith, he himself brought another 1500 Jews into the gospel. 

I guess the moral of the story is that yes, we have trials, and yes, we have questions. Sometimes...well most of the times we ask those questions, and expect to get an anser but never do. Sometimes that answer isn't what we want, or expected. And the truth is....it doesn't matter! The Lord knows it all, and he preforms his miracles and gives his answers according to his own time. He knows what is in store for all of us, and he knows what we are capable of even if we don't. So next time when you want to ask the question why....stop for a moment, remember of his all knowing power, and ask instead 'what.' 

Ask him what you can do for Him, and what you can do for other children of God. Ask him What you must do to become better, to be that child of God he knows you are. Instead of wanting to know of the instruments of God, become the instrument of Him. =) Trust in his timing, and trust in his love, because no matter what, he will help us, guide us, and answer all our questions. I know this for the truth, and I love it with all my heart. 

Once again, Try your best to be your best! =) I love you guys~ 

love,
