Change is one of my least favorite words and even more so one of my least favorite things to go through. At a young age I was taught by this phrase from my mother; "Plans Change!" and to this day that profound statement rings true (as she said it would). As I go through life and get older I realized it's the constant things in life that I can look towards and gain strength from to help through drastic changes and to adjust.
Things like; I'm always have my family. They are my rock, they have been so far and always will be there to support and love me and are on my team. The church is my foundation and the love I receive from Jesus Christ and my Heavenly Father helps me everyday to adjust and reform. Lately whenever I feel sad, discouraged, or lost I've been turning to conference talks past and present to lift me up and to help change my attitude. I was talking to Brian one day about how everything is changing and how I actually was scared, and unsure about gaining 5 new roommates how sad I was for my best friend to leave, he suggested that I read this talk from this last conference about; waiting to see the outcome and not jumping to conclusions and being patient with the Lord. (Isn't he great!?!) That talk particularly helped me to realize I need to be more patient with the Lord have more faith in the plan he has for me!
Life is always changing, that's really the story of mine so far. I've moved over 8 times in the last 4 years and on the way I have made and met so many different friends and people , was engaged and then suddenly unengaged, made mistakes then laughed about them later, dated tons, loved some, but most importantly I've gained memories and experiences which have defined my life and now looking back I ask myself; "How did I even get through that?" or "Oh my gosh how stupid!". Change for the better is the only change coming my way in the future.
