That was a pretty good call. You know at the beginning of my mission it was super hard and there was trials and things and I'd be forced to my knees and overcome it. I thought that would just be the way the cycle works, but recently we have had to deal with a lot of hard situations and I find myself doing more. I still plead with the Father, but now I'm looking for more answers myself. I think I've been given enough to be out of that infant stage, where everything is just given to me. I don't want to admit it, or accept it, but I am starting to toddle. That's when perfect parents let us stretch, so we learn more valuable lessons. I think through the way I have been handling situations more. I'm not over-stressing myself anymore. I just try to fix it the best way I can and leave the worrying behind.
So far that's the change I've noticed in myself. Before I came out, I knew what the scriptures said and what to do, but now I'm learning what they mean and how to do the things we have been asked to. I'm seeing miracles as the Lord is constantly leading and guides us, He will let us stumble and "toddle" but will always be there with us if we are willing to keep trying. He won't make us get back up until we are ready, I think I'm at the point where I'm trying to walk faster, and learning how to, because I get up as soon as I can and keep working at it.
So that's what I've noticed...
