It all started Sunday. (back up... and freeze!) Our stake has this awesome program to help people prepare for missions. My brother has been going forever, and my little sister started going too. They invited me, and I did not even think about it, the answer was "Nope!" Why? Because it is at 7:30 am on the only day I can sleep in. Lame excuse... I know! Anyway.... I got my friend from the ward to say she would go with me, and on Sunday we went. It was not gonna kill me to get up early, but I did it anyway. Did I regret it? No! I felt the spirit sooooo strong! The strongest I have felt it for a while. Part of the program is that you, and your "companion" will teach some aspect to the "investigators"(leaders). <--- That was really hard, but I learned a TON! God is good in that I went (which was a miracle!), He let me feel the spirit so strongly, and I was able to become stronger. God is Good.
After mission prep, I helped my mom teach her primary class. I LOVE those kids! They are so cute! One little girl prayed that Mitt Romney could be president... Ha! Those little kids ask questions, that I would have never thought of. They are internalizing those lessons taught in primary! God is good for letting me feel of those kids spirits.
Then I went to church, I didn't feel like going, but I went anyway. I felt the spirit ALL during church. The RS lesson was especially filled with the spirit. God is good.
A couple days ago when I was walking across UVU campus, I was thinking about my job-searching efforts. I have been apply for jobs at IHC. It is nearly unheard of to get a job at IHC at this young of an age, I had a couple interviews, but nothing turned out. Anyway, going back to this walk, I started thinking getting a job right now must not be the right thing. God won't give me more than I can handle, and I probably can't handle school full-time, work full-time, and everything else in my life. I just thought to myself, Okay, it is a righteous desire. I want to pay for my mission, but it is God's will.
Yesterday I got a call from IHC. They offered me a job working on the neuro-unit. They usually start people at $9.20 or something, and they offered me the job at $10.60. I will be working nights, 3 nights a week. It will be hard for the first two weeks, because I will have school, and finals, but then after I have school only on Tuesdays. (But it is anatomy!) God is good. If you hand yourself over to God, He will do what is best! He knows and loves me, and you!
Anyway... this is just another week in Lizzie's lovable (God-blessed) Life!
