A Good Laugh

Saturday afternoon was the third of three tests this last week for anatomy. Needless to say, last week I was a stress basket.

This might be one of those "had to be there" moments, but I was there. And it was funny to me.

Nic and I were driving home from running an errand. We had already taken the last test for the week and we were discussing it together.

Nic: Yeah, that was a hard test. But, we did our best.

Me: Yeah, we did our best. But, it still stresses me out, incase you couldn't tell.

Silence.

More silence.

Nic: No, I couldn't tell at all. You hide your stress very well. I don't think anyone can tell when you are stressed.

At which point we both crack up laughing!!!!

Me: Good answer Sweetie. You've learned well.

I love my husband! He's so funny!

The Truth

The truth is, I'm barely keeping my head above water. School is really hard. Nic and I pretty much live at school. It's hard and it's wonderful, all at the same time. But through this hardship, I have learned the amazing blessings of the Gospel.

It's such a blessing that after all I can do, Heavenly Father steps in and helps me. IT'S SO REAL. IT. IS. SO. REAL. I can't emphasize it enough.

This last week I was talking with my aunt, whom I am very close with. She knows the deepest joys, sorrows, and desires of my heart. Anyway, we were talking about some things and she told me something that I have tested. And sure enough, it is true.

It sounds simple... but it is so powerful. Try it. Honestly, try it.

IF you are doing as Heavenly Father would have you do... IF you are fulfilling your "calling" in your "time and season"... and IF you feel like you are barely keeping your head above water, ALL WILL WORK OUT. I know this is true. I have witnessed it this very day. I could write a huge novel, but I won't right now because it's really late and I need to get to bed.

I am so grateful for a loving Heavenly Father. I am so grateful for a loving Savior, Jesus Christ. Without Them, I am nothing. I'm so grateful.

PS I'm also grateful for Lucas, Nic, and Zac. You guys are great. Thanks for dealing with my emotional craziness.

PSS Congrats to one of my dearest, most wonderful friends in the world. You know who you are.
