".....yet ye shall be patient in long-suffering and afflictions, that ye may show forth good examples unto them in me, and I will make an instrument of thee in my hands unto the salvation of many souls."
Patience has definitely NEVER been a strong point of mine. Today all throughout church and my friends farewell I kept getting impressions from the spirit about me going on a mission and that I was ready and it is absolutely the thing I need to do. I was so excited to go meet with my Bishop and for him to stamp his approval and get my papers out of here. I didn't think it would go any other way than him smiling and saying, "Congrats Sarah, you've made all of us proud and you're going to make your Heavenly Father so proud as you serve. I'll send this all to the stake president tonight."
So I was quite.....distraught to hear the opposite. Sometimes I think I know exactly how my life is going to go, and then Heavenly Father just kinda laughs and says NOPE! I know I'm supposed to go, but I have to trust my priesthood leader and his perspective of the current situation.
Not to fret my friends. I will go. I've just been "post-poned" about a month. "Trust in God includes trust in his timing." Time for lots of prayers for patience and understanding.

Memories of Us
I've dreamt of you my whole life. From your deep green eyes to your sense of humor. Now that I've finally found you I know that you were never a figment of my imagination. My dreams weren't premonitions, but memories. The moment I saw you my soul jumped with recognition and it felt like I had known you my entire life. I loved you then, I love you now, and I'll love you forever.
