Questions and Answers

Yesterday I got to have a long conversation with my mom about a few very important things. I find it interesting the information you can find out by asking the right questions. The conversation left me feeling great about what I am doing and where I am going. The affirmation from my mom was more than what I could ask for. I realize that sometimes we need to simply ask the right questions, when we talk to other people, parents, siblings, room mates, but especially when we pray.

Yesterday, I also spent a decent amount of time sincerely praying, by the end my focus had changed. My initial desire to have my question answered changed to a desire to fix a few things in my life first. My perspective changed from temporal to eternal matters and I realized how to get my life completely in order so that I can make those larger decisions.

Yesterday was full of realizations and full of new light:) I got a rush of excitement for life all over again:D
