So, we all knew this post was coming...the one where I talk about how all my friends have moved away and started school, and how I am stuck here at home...I guess I shouldn't really call it "stuck" because things have worked out this way for a reason. Some people might say that I should have done things a bit differently my first few semesters of college, but I honestly have no regrets. I'm where I am supposed to be right now, but that doesn't really change the fact that I am currently in a position that is making my life seem a little bit...slow-paced.
I have been taking care of my mom, and we know that it is a miracle that I am home from school right now for that reason. However, she is getting more and more independent so I am going to start working soon. I had a job interview at Legacy Junior High this morning, and it went really well until I told the principle that I would be going up to Logan in January. I guess not many places are willing to hire for such a short amount of time...Mortuary job it is, then!!
As far as social life goes, like I said, most of my friends are all moved away. What?! I just barely got them back! However, Brenna's sister, Meryl and I are good friends and she lives at home/in the ward too so I think we will kinda stick together through this phase of stuck-ness. I am also really excited to make some new friends in my ward. I'm in the welcoming committee so that is the perfect place to be!
This next one is probably the one that gets me the most. I'm getting fairly restless in the Gospel. I want to be doing so much more! I am definitely feeling that "pull upward" that Pres. Eyring talks about. I guess that's why the possibility of serving a mission has been on mind a lot. I'm really hoping to do Savior of the World again because maybe that will help me not feel so...in-a-rut-ish and so I can serve and accomplish anything the Lord wants me to. I want to give my life to the Savior and want to be contributing to His great work!! I'm trying to do everything I can RIGHT NOW to do so, but sometimes it is easy to feel like I am falling short. Keep working, though, eh?
Anyway, I guess we all go through these little phases of crazy busy times and slower more relaxing times. Complacency is what we are wanting to avoid here, though. I love progress. Progress, progress, progress. Well, there ya go. Just some brain-spewing going on up in hurr.
Ta-ta for now!
You're doing a great job, Hannah. Sometimes it's hard to remember that life isn't a race, and to try to enjoy the moment (though it seems as if you're doing a pretty good job at that). That would be so awesome if you served a mission! And Savior of the World is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteHannah! Reading about you thinking about serving makes me soo happy! I can't tell you enough how much I didn't want to serve at all and especially not in a foreign country but when I made up my mind that it was what the Lord wanted me to do and I opened my call... It all felt so right! Just keep praying and the Lord will inspire with what He wants you to do. And if it helps... I'm feeling the exact same way because I don't leave until November. I'd be happy to do things with you! Good luck with call backs!
