But more importantly, I had a great experience with the first day of my religion class. I'm currently taking second half of the New Testament with Prof. Griffin. I took the first half of Book of Mormon from him and the impressions I received from his class is the reason I changed my life around, as I was not the person I wanted to be that first BYU semester.
Anyway, today in class, towards the last few minutes, he directed us to Acts, chapter one. In chapter one, Christ is about to end his 40 day ministry after being resurrected, and his apostles ask him one last question. The question is about temporal matters, mainly when will the kingdom be restored to Israel? Christ answers, in verse 7, "It is not for you to know the times or seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power." My professor then said to "liken all scriptures unto ourselves," because all scriptures can be to our learning, even a 19 year old girl at BYU. I thought about this for a second and realized the spiritual importance of this scripture to me at this time.


After reflecting on this scripture, I got a reaffirming feeling that this is where I'm suppose to be right now, at BYU. I am leading my life in a way that is pleasing to my Father in Heaven and even though I'm impatient to see what the future has in store for me, I can act on faith and trust that everything will work out in the way it's suppose to, if I keep the commandments and listen to promptings I receive.
I am so excited for this semester and what it has in store for me. Life is exciting and "I'm on a roller coaster that only goes up, my friends!"
I'm so happy for you, Megan! Love you tons! You're a blessing in my life.
