This morning I finally had an answer among many questions as to what my future holds. For those who I haven't talked to in a long while, I have been pondering whether or not I should go on a mission. I don't know why, but about four months ago I had a notion that I should at least look into it and see what could possibly be in store for me.I've questioned, prayed, studied my scriptures, and asked advice, but have not had any kind of whisper or notion as to what I should do until this morning. As of these last couple of weeks as the new semester has started and I had trouble with my schedule and getting it fixed, the thought fell away. Because I had a few hours to relax this morning, I randomly decided I was going to look over my Patriarchal blessing for a moral boost to get me through these next few months. As I was reading through it, I had the question in mind as to what it is that I should ponder a little more so I can understand what it was the lord was saying about certain things; when I came upon a few lines that made my heart burn. I couldn't believe it. There was my answer. Those few simple lines that finally made sense. I teared up and knew that the wonderful feeling was what they say is the "burning of the bosom". And to top it all off, all the subjects in church today were about recieving answers, and stories of apostles and what they did to prepare themselves for their missions and what they do to better understand the promptings of the spirit.
I finally have my answer, and I have made the decision that I'm going to prepare for a mission. I know I have some years to go before I am able, but I now have a definate object to focus on and work towards. Yes I am in college and that's what I "should" be focusing on, but I don't know what it is that I want to do for my major and have been sitting her twiddling my thumbs about it. I'm praying by the start of next year, I'll have a definate answer.
We'll just have to wait and see what the future holds.
