Come what may...

I have always loved the saying by Elder Wirthlin, "Come what may and love it."  I try to remember that when things are not going how I want them to (when I should have faith in how the Lord wants them).

With that being said, I never expected to have my time cut short on earth with my Mom. I miss her everyday.  I hope she knows that if she were here today I would take her to Mimi's Cafe (her favorite) for her birthday today.  Come what may and love it.

I recently decided to switch to a family ward for a few reasons and felt like I needed to switch back to the singles ward after a few short months. Why?  As soon as my records were back in the ward they asked me to speak. Terror!  I used to love to speak/give talks, but I have recently in the last year become a lot more shy and quiet.  So for a week and a half I had anxiety over giving this talk and did not feel adequate.  I should add the last time I spoke in church was the day my Mom died.  This past Sunday I when I spoke I was hoping nobody I knew would die, but it happened exactly when I was speaking!  Come what may and love it!

A few weeks ago I started having a toothache.  I called the dentist but had to wait about 5 days to get in.  I had to get a crown (only my second, but still disappointing) because I cracked a tooth.  It took 10 shots and 1 hour later to get me numb enough to not feel pain.  After this I was good for about a day, but then I started having even more pain.  Yep, you guessed it...I got a root canal today.  Worst experience ever, even though it was quick.  I thought I was having a heart attack and I am pretty sure the endodonist had a cold so if I get infection I wouldn't be surprised! Come what may and love it, hahahahaha!

Oh and since Valentine's is this week should I add that the only person I have ever loved (romantically) is not in my life.  COME WHAT MAY AND LOVE IT!  Really life is good!  I am loving people more and accomplishing so many great goals!  I know that life is good because my Mom is watching over me, the Lord loves me, I read my scriptures and pray daily, I go to the temple twice a week (serve once and then go as a patron), and I have family that is great. I love it!!!
