The Truth About Big Decisions . . . Big Opposition!


So as you can see from the picture today at 4:30 pm, on my way to class, trying not to be late I was rear ended by a Ford F-250. Lucky I'm alive-I know that is what you are thinking . . . my geo prizm didn't have a chance but I was hit at about 5 miles per hour at a stop sign waiting to make a right hand turn. Lucky she didn't come to me 65 mph cause it would have been much worse. After the initial shock I remembered driving on the freeway and thinking to myself "The last thing I need right now is a car accident" so I slowed down. I also remember my Educational Law professor saying that it wasn't worth coming down the freeway and getting in an accident just to get to class. Aaaaahhhh . . . I am a woman of feeling. It never fails.So I wish this was the only opposition and I don't mean to brag . . . so all I will state is the following:

For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things. If not so, ... , righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad. Wherefore, all things must needs be a compound in one; wherefore, if it should be one body it must needs remain as dead, having no life neither death, nor corruption nor incorruption, happiness nor misery, neither sense nor insensibility. 2 Ne. 2: 11

The truth is that I am grateful to know that opposition comes hand in hand with great blessings and that all we need to do is move forward. My father told me that this may happen . . . After all we are only 11 days away . . . and he is almost always right!
So the truth is that there really is opposition to all things and then come the greatest blessings: righteousness, holiness, goodness, life, happiness and sense... and that is the truth!

And things keep on marching . . .




Adrian and I are on a count down . . . 100 days until the wedding! You can see the ticker below that I have just added. We are excited to see things move forward. So far we have the Temple booked, Stake Center booked, Wedding colors chosen (Fuschia and Green), food planned, flowers picked out, cake ideas, favors, photographers narrowed for interviews, as well as invitations picked out and an address list that just keeps getting longer and longer!

We are really excited to see things moving forward although I may say we have had our fair share of trials. These trials seem to only testify that we are doing the right thing since they are trials that are coming from the outside that challenge us individually and not so much trials between us. We are sure that as we continue to count down these may increase . . . but the good Lord will provide the strength we need to carry on and being in good spirits!

Besides that the rest of the family is doing well. Grandma is healthy, and the kids are getting bigger and bigger. Things are on an upswing and that is the truth.
