On the Brink of Change

I've been meaning to start a blog for a few weeks now, but tonight I got the push to finally do it. 

This semester my roommate got me hooked on Gilmore Girls. I've grown to love the characters and I've often laughed and groaned and even wanted to cry. Tonight I watched the final episode where Rory has graduated college and is moving on with her life. It really hit home since I am in the last weeks of my last semester at BYU. Like her, I have decisions to make and I really don't know where my life is headed. Life has not turned out the way I thought it would, but it's still good. I had a similar experience on the brink of graduating high school. At that point too, I didn't know what was going to happen and life was heading in an unexpected direction. But in the end, my experiences here at BYU have been fantastic. Most importantly, I have made life long friends.  

In trying to make decisions and figure everything out, I've been relying on a scripture from the Book of Mormon: 

"And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shal send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall." --Helaman 5:12  

This has helped me remember to read my scriptures and pray first and other things will fall into place. I'm trying to build a secure foundation because my legs are feeling pretty shaky right now. 

So now here, on the brink of change, I may be scared of what the future will bring, but I'm also hopeful. Life is always changing and in the words of Walt Disney, I need to "keep moving forward."
