Sometimes my best thinking happens when I am in the shower. Which was definitely the case yesterday morning. I set my alarm for 4:40, got up to get ready, and hopped in the shower and started thinking about where I am in my life. If you have been following my blog you know that I left BYU-Idaho (deferred for a semester after getting my Associate's Degree in December) to move to Provo and work full-time while waiting to find out if I am accepted to transfer to BYU. When people would ask me what I would do if I weren't accepted, my response was "I have no idea." It was so hard to picture myself going back to BYU-I after picking up and leaving, saying goodbye. Here's where the shower epiphony comes in. I realized yesterday morning, that I am truly and sincerely happy with whatever happens. Of course I am hoping I am accepted to BYU, and I am eager to further my education there, but if not, I will be thrilled to return to a school that is so good, and that I really do love so much. If that were to happen, there would be no part of me that would wonder why this little "detour" has been a part of my journey. I have learned so much from my experience of going where the Lord wants me to be. I have changed a lot these last few months, I feel, for the better. So, basically, I hope that everything works out with BYU, but I truly will be glad for whatever happens.
And that is the epiphony I had in the shower.
For me driving and showers are such good places to receive epiphanies. I'm glad for you! And I love you! Dad.
ReplyDeleteThose are two very good thinking places. :) I love you too Dad!
