Waiting

Patience is not one of many great qualities. In fact I lack a lot of patience. And I feel like I'm constantly waiting on something. During school I was always waiting for the semester to be over. Now I'm waiting to find a better job. Or for the work day to be over. Or a letter. :) And mostly I'm waiting for an email telling me if I've my wish came true.

I guess it's all part of the journey...waiting. I guess the hard part of all of it is being happy while we wait. I'm reminded of President Monson's conference address in last October. He said "Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey, and share our love with friends and family. One day each of us will run out of tomorrows."

I have a tile next to bed that has a quote from President Hinckley it says "Life is to be enjoyed not just endured" I try to remember that when I'm sick of waiting. Life isn't about waiting.

I had the opportunity on Saturday to go to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple House with three of my favorite people, Emily, Kristen and Nichelle! It was such an incredible exprience. And I highly recommened it. Walking through that beautiful temple made me realize what really is most important in life. It's not my job or my GPA or a career. It made me think about what is most important to me. As I walked into the Celestial room and the Sealing room I thought about how grateful I am to have a heaven on earth, a place where we can go to get away from the world and to be close to God.

Although I hate waiting, I can be happy while I wait. :)
