You know that song, "What a difference a day makes, twenty-four little hours...." Well, today I have been thinking back to what I was doing a year ago. Lately I often catch myself thinking, "if I could have seen into the future, to this very day, what would I have thought?" Here I am sitting in a classroom, surrounded by intelligent and bright individuals. I am with a study group of people that are all brilliant in their own rights. I am practicing to talk to recruiters for a career expo coming up in October. I am reading books and articles out the wazoo!
What a difference a year has truly made in my life. September 16th marks the one year anniversary for my decision to come back to school. I remember vividly the prayers and the struggle I had to get to that point. It took me about 6 months to finally write it down (on 9/16) and then another 2 months to actually quit my job and step out onto a new path.
I am mentally challenged everyday - probably more than I ever have been in my life. I am still trying to figure things out, it's only the 3rd week of school. When I begin to doubt myself I have to remember that I am enough, that I can do this. This experience is truly stretching me in ways I never expected - socially, emotionally, mentally, and physically.
Today we had the honor of listening to President Monson - he spoke at the BYU devotional. He is wonderful and I was grateful that during the middle of a school day I could stop for an hour and listen to the prophet of God.
So, as I struggle and worry and work I try to keep the eternal perspective in mind. This too shall pass....more quickly than I probably want it to.
