Trust in Him

Have you ever made a decision where you didn't know why you were making that decision? Or you knew that making that decision wasn't practical for that time in your life? We all have those moments. I had quite a lot of those moments this week. I had to make a lot of decisions. Ones that I feel I should had made a long time ago because of the way I feel about it now, but also because I knew then that I wouldn't be able to get by without. The Lord will let you know when you need to make a decision. This week I made the decision to quit my job. I put my two weeks notice in and was hoping that I would work these next two weeks... As I called my mom to tell her what I was doing she said, 'Kourtney, are you prepared to not have a job until you go up to Alaska in 2 months, and are you prepared for them to possibly cut you cold turkey?' I told my mom that I wasn't prepared at all. Not having an income for two months is going to be hard. But even though it will be difficult the Lord knows whats best and he knows that I trust him. I love the reassurance that the scriptures give when it says, "your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him." The Lord LOVES us. He loves us no matter our choices and he wants only the best for us. We need to trust that the Lord hears our prayers and that he wants us to be happy.
I am so grateful for the Savior and the selfless life that he lived. As this week was a very busy one I was very grateful for the power of prayer and knowing that the Lord knows me and he knows my needs. I also am grateful for the example of service the Lord showed before and during his earthly ministry. Even among all the stress of homework, and work, this last week I put that aside and served some friends. I know that because I stopped caring about myself and started caring about others I was able to see them the way the Lord sees them.
