Wonderful Wednesday

So before I start I have to say how much I love doing these "Wonderful Wednesday" posts. As I try to think of something I am truly grateful for, and more then simple things. I find how much my life has been blessed. I find how close the Savior is to me in my life. He is the constant I am then one that decides where our relationship goes.

So my wonderful Wednesday: TIME

As strange as this may seem it sums up what I am grateful for this Wednesday.

Have you ever spent any amount of time and looked at your life? Who you are? Where you came from? Where are you going? What you have learned? Where you are now? If not you need to! I have spent a lot of time doing this as of late and wow its been a journey.

As I have done this I realized how much I have grown where I have come from and where I hope I am going.

Things I have noticed:
A Year Ago: I was hurt, confused, building very high walls and really testing my trust in the Lord and his direction. I was in a state of doing what I knew my Heavenly Father wanted and needed me to do but I had no clue why. I was in an extreme state of simply acting out of blind obedience. I was only making decisions and actions out of love for my Heavenly Father and nothing more. I did not know why I was making these decisions. I did not want to follow or act. I wanted things to be different.

Today: I am still relying on faith. But I can see each and every day why the Lord's direction was best for me. I feel excited about life. I am ready and willingly to trust again. The thought of moving forward doesnt scare me. The future exists me. As a quote I read state: I know that all things will work out for my best. I am ready to take down walls, and am doing so daily. I am excited, hopeful, etc. I am no longer afraid. I feel so at peace that everything is working out how it should.

This is just one example of what time has done. I know it comes from maturity but a lot of changes in me have come from the atonement and the power of love. Time worked on me and through me. It took time to heal wounds and give me the courage to move forward.

I am grateful this Wednesday for TIME
