I love blogs, I really do, and I have had lots of fun starting mine and keeping it up (rather poorly, sorry!!). The one thing that makes it difficult is that I am not a very creative person... so, blogging can be difficult at times. I love thinking of a blog as a journal only in fun form. :) You get to put all of these pretty decorations in it to make it fun! Aren't blogs some of the most interesting and useful things. They are just great.
Wow, so where do I start.... it's amazing how in one month you can either have TONS going on, or you look back and realize that even though you were busy, there wasn't a whole lot of new things happening. Well, this past month I stayed busy enough, but it was mostly working and studying. Yeah, my life is kind of boring...
It really is easy to get down and discouraged when you feel like all you do is the same stuff every single day and before you know it another month has past. It's great when you're a missionary girlfriend (like me), and each month that passes is one closer to his return. But I've been thinking about time a lot lately. It's not something to just get through, and that is a concept I've had to learn for myself. We are meant to enjoy this life-- our time here on earth. Jesus Christ atoned for our sins so that we could experience true happiness not just in the life to come but right here in our everyday journey. It is up to us, however, to choose happiness and positivity, especially in a world that would have us think and feel otherwise. I am so grateful for the many blessings Heavenly Father continues to bless me with daily.
Matthew has 4 months left.... 4 months! As far as I know, he is still in Blackfoot and he is still DL. He was very consistent in writing almost every week for the past 1 1/2 months. Now I'm going on four weeks of not hearing from him. I don't think about it a lot. I think I have gotten used to the idea that he will write whenever he wants to, and so I write when I hear from him. I really don't know how things are going to go when he gets home. I had such a hard time for a couple months being okay with the idea of not knowing how everything was going to fall into place. Just these past few weeks of have learned that God really does have a plan for my life, and I know he is working in my behalf. He doesn't want me to be concerned over my future and worry about it. He will take care of everything and I am sure of it! :)
I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. ~Psalm 34:1
