Guide My Footsteps

Oh my goodness gracious. The last week of my life has blown my mind. I am talking about the big change that I mentioned a couple of posts ago. Here is the story

So this semester is my 5th at BYU-Idaho. I have loved it so much. This semester though I was feeling perhaps a little bit, hmmm, like nothing at all was happening in my life? I am not sure how to describe it other than to say that my life consisted of my classes and my church calling and that's basically it. I felt somewhat empty inside. I was doing everything I could to live life to the fullest, and I was still enjoying every day, but it definitely felt like not everything was as it should be.

Last Sunday, I was sitting in the BYU-Idaho center next to my FHE brothers waiting for the Boise Temple dedication to start. My dear FHE brother Parker and I were talking about school and he told me that he had been considering transferring to BYU in Provo. The strangest thing happened. It was almost as if I heard myself saying "I want to do that too." At first I was a bit taken aback by myself since this really wasn't something I had been thinking about at all! The dedication started then and I will always remember how strongly and undeniably the Spirit spoke to me personally during that meeting. I knew that transferring to BYU was what I was supposed to do. I will treasure that day forever.

After that I jumped right into making plans and basically rearranging my entire life. It has been crazy. I assumed that I would continue at BYU-I for winter semester and then start at BYU in the fall, but it turns out that if I do that I will have too many credits to transfer. At first this seemed like an obstacle, but everything has fallen into place for me to move to Provo and work during winter semester.

I have been amazed to see the Lord's hand working in my life this past week. Transferring from a school where I have scholarships and am 3 semesters away from my Bachelor's to a brand new place seems crazy, but I know without a doubt that this is the direction I am supposed to take. So many things have worked out miraculously for me; I know the Lord is watching over me and helping me get to where I need to be.

It feels amazing to know something as strongly as I know I am supposed to move and transfer. Already from this experience I have learned so much about myself and about the Lord's constant care for me.

I know that He is guiding my footsteps. :)
