The Lord's Constant Hand

I decided since its been a really long time since I updated everything it was about time I did. Well, a lot has happened the past few weeks, well actually months. I've been increasingly busy with school and absolutely love it here at BYU-Idaho. Being here at this school has been more than a blessing in my life. While being here I am constantly reminded of the truthfulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ and His great atoning love for me. I feel the spirit daily and know with all my heart of the truthfulness of God's eternal plan for me. Each week as I attend our campus "devo" (devotional) I am reminded of all the people and leaders of the church who are so in tune with everything going on in the world and know exactly what to say, teach and exemplify to help me specifically.
I have learned that I can turn to the Lord for anything, everything and know that he always has a hand in what I am doing. He created everything so who better to go to than Him when I have questions or problems with anything, including homework.
A cool experience I want to share is only part of what is testified to me daily as I rely on the Lord for strength and guidance. Me, being a freshmen didn't know that I should not take a class at 7 am. I am not a morning person and I know better than to sign up for an early class, but I insisted on doing it. I signed up for a New Testament class on Tuesday's and Thursday's at 7am. For the first few weeks I really struggled to stay awake during class and was constantly tired and would do the typical head bob. The final straw of all my frustration was when I realized I forgot about a test for the class. I decided something needed to change and that I needed to be awake and alert in order to obtain the knowledge I wanted so badly. Late one night I humbled myself to go to the Lord with what seemed like a silly problem to me. I kneeled down next to my bed and went to my Heavenly Father in sincere prayer asking for help to stay awake so that I may learn in my early morning class the next day. The next morning I woke up and kneeled again asking again for His help. Remarkably, with a lot of effort, I stayed awake all of class and have every class since. I continue to learn and grow and recognize my Heavenly Father's love for me more and more every day. I'm so grateful that I can go to Him for anything even when it seems silly and meaningless to me, I know that my Heavenly Father cares and will help me in ALL that I do.
I wonder often where I would be without the gospel and know that I would not be anywhere without the Lord and His love for me individually and his love for my family. Each and every day I am grateful for the many blessings I have and the gospel truths of which I know to be true.
