I am a tad sad to soon be forgotten by Utah, yet so excited to go. It's a great adventure to go somewhere alone and not know what's there awaiting me.
Anything can happen.
My ankle still hasn't healed and I'm still in a hefty boot, but it'll work out. I know it. I have a brace I can use to do the activities (hiking, swimming, horseback riding, etc). And if armies can't stop the will of God, then neither can an injury. It won't stop God's plan for me, whatever that may be. For now, it is to go to Sun Valley and experience this great adventure.
I am just so blessed.
I'm grateful for my past and what I've learned from it. I look forward with hopes and dreams in the opportunities coming my way. And I live in today, enjoying the little things and loving those around me. I'm not perfect at it, but I am learning and growing on the way. The Lord is by my side and Christ makes up for where I lack. I have courage.
All is well, all will be well, and I am happy.
Sometimes Satan tries to hide the good things in life with dust, blocks, and craters. President Boyd K. Packer [link] tells a story of a little girl in Japan at the close of World War II who was surrounded by debris, blocks, and craters as she looked for yellow sycamore leaves that she was gathering into a bouquet. She hardly noticed the mess surrounding her as she did so. And we can do the same. Look for the good, make something of it, and the mess will seem unnoticeable. At least, the burden will seem lighter.
I've been continuously blessed to be able to see the good in my life. Family, friends, tender mercies, experiences. And they all lead me to grow and become a better person.
They all become a part of who I am.
I don't know why God picked me to live this life, but I'm grateful He did.
It's an amazing adventure.
