Tender Mercies

It has been months I know since I have updated this blog, and it has been haunting me for the last few weeks or so, so bare with me while I organize my thoughts on what I should share with those souls that deem my blog worthy of their time. (ie my mother).  The last couple months have been a whirlwind of changes for me, a girl who feels her life is the most boring as they come, so it has been fairly exciting.  These changes have come in all shapes and sizes and I have deemed the last few months, really the last 6 months or so as the months from the Lord, because I have seen his hand in my life in every corner and it has made me grateful and full of joy and happiness, which for me has been a strange concept for years.  My life still has many things in store the I hope will continue to life me up but for now let me recap.

It really started the day I decided it was time to go through the Temple which you can see a previous blog post for that if you are needing something to put you to sleep, remember my blog is pretty much my way of keeping a journal.  But since then I have been blessed to have the Lords influence in my life, even in the down points of the last few months.  I was on a spiritual high and not to much has brought me low since I started to rise. so lets move on.

One aspect of life that tried to being me low was work, work was awful, I dreaded going in, I hated my job and I did not get along with my boss.  When I finally reached breaking point I knew it was time to find a new one before I lost my head a quit so I sort of started looking, I had a hard time because I hate job hunting, but a guy in my ward told me his job was hiring, it was the one and only application I sent out, I was worried about getting the job but I did and I love it.  I am now a banking girl and no longer dread going to work.  I know that the Lord made life at the grocery store difficult for me so I would be willing to leave my comfort zone and find a new job and then he provided the job I needed when the time was right.  And I must say, I enjoy having holidays off.

I have also been working on my social life, I have made several good friends that I actually enjoy being with and I don't feel like a tag along which is pretty much a first since I was in 7th grade so that has been a great blessing in my life.  I know you are probably waiting for me to mention that I have a special boy in my life but I can't because you actually have to talk to boy to do that and since I am a snob I don't think that will be happening any time soon, so I am working on living my back up plan...(mother stop reading here)  Being a cat lady.

Which brings me to another point.  With my parents working on moving out to Utah it means that I finally am able to have my cat with me, this is something that I have been working towards since I moved out to Virgina and then again when I moved to Utah.  Although she is scared of being here, even after a month I enjoy that she is with me and I love having her to cuddle with at night, even though she thinks she has out grown cuddling and hates doing it, she will still sleep on my legs a night and I absolutely love having her there... Ok I am now done gushing over my kitty. (mother you can start read agian)

One last thing that has happened, and it happened only last week is I was called to be a Temple worker, which is a pretty amazing and over whelming calling I must say.  I have only had one shift so far but it was amazing to spend 5 straight hours in the House of the Lord doing his work.... Or in my case watching his work be done since I had no idea what I was doing.  I look forward to the shifts that come and the blessings and strength that will come with serving the Lord in His House.

I am very excited for the months to come to see what the Lord has in store for my life.
