One Day at a Time

My life has taken some difficult turns in the last few months. Nothings gone the way I'd planned. Yes, there is a song there, and if you know "Romance, Romance" at all you might recognize it (I know Kate knows!). Still, I have to rely on my belief that what the Lord has planned for me is better than what I had planned for myself.

Imagine how difficult this would be if David and I had not already put our house on the market. Or if the house had sold back in January and we were already making new (not improved, but probably higher) payments.

Imagine if we had to start planning to move now, trying to get everything packed up, and find a place to live, with the added pressure of no current employment.

Imagine if my longtime friend Kelly hadn't convinced me that the time was ripe for me to be looking for a teaching position again. Imagine if I had just started that process when David lost his job.

Imagine what I would have been feeling if David and I had not been attending the temple, fasting and praying about all these questions all along.

Yes, my life is hard right now. But, I can see the Lord's hand guiding us all along the way, over this very treacherous and affliction filled path. It's not over yet, and truthfully, I'm not certain I've found the tunnel, much less the light at the end of the tunnel, but if I take it one day at a time, with the Lord's help, my life will be better when this is all over.
