Bad Few Weeks Finally Turned Ok

So the last few weeks have been kinda rough and have kinda sucked, and I learned a lesson today. This weekend I was kinda worried all weekend and couldn't get some stuff off my mind, and it was really bothering me that it was getting me down. So yesterday I fasted for myself that I could have the strength and courage to have faith that it would all be ok. Then I left it in the Lords hands. I had to work yesterday, I have NEVER worked on a sunday, and it was kinda hard for me to do. I did not want to go in at all and I was exhausted from saturday and everything. I went in to work for a few hours and couldn't handle all the noise in there and all the people that I didn't want to be around on sunday, so I left. I went to the fireside last night and even though I had a lot of homework to do I resisted and thought to myself "it is sunday, I'm not giving in." So I didn't. Well I woke up and went to class this morning and thought to myself, "great I have a test on wednesday in here and I have a TON of hw to do before then" and I got kinda stressed out when I felt the load on me. The teacher comes in and says "the exam is supposed to be on wednesday but since I haven't covered all of the material in both chapters I am moving the test to friday." So now I have all week to do my homework for that class instead of just today and tomorrow. Coincidence? You decide. But I don't think it is. Then a girl asked if he could make the test a take home test and he said "no but what I am going to do is, whoever gets a low grade, I will hand it back and let you correct your answers and then grade it again." That made me feel so much better. I felt a huge load removed. Then I went home still hesitant to call the Dr and realized that I had to do it and then something happened and made me feel SO much better about this, so I did it. So I guess the lesson I learned is that when you put faith in the Lord and leave things in His hands, you WILL be blessed and it WILL work out.

Another thing that helped yesterday is I got a calling. We have relief society first and Sacrament meeting last, and after r.s me and Holly and Brittany got pulled outside by a member of the Bishopric and he called all 3 of us to be on the activities committee. We got sustained in Sacrament meeting and then set apart after church. In my blessing when I got set apart he said "the Lord loves you Elyse. He knows what your going through." That stuck with me all day. That kid doesn't know me from Adam, he had no Idea what I was going through or that I was goin through a rough time at all. That was a testimony builder for me. Well I have a test in 30 mins so I gotta go, and I am pretty sure I have talked ya'lls ears off, so have a great day!

Thanks all of you, I am grateful for your comments. I know it will be ok, I am not letting my faith fall after the experience I had this weekend. The last few days I have felt so close to the Savior. I go back to the Dr next week and I feel a lot better about it than I did 4 days ago thats for sure. I love you guys. And Robyn, you have always been someone I have looked up to, to hear you say I have always been an amazing strength to those around me makes me feel pretty dang good.
