Like I promised

Well, now that I'm fully awake and have some time, I wanted to write about all the wonderful blessings that have come to me since deciding to move home.

• When I dropped my summer classes, I was able to get into all of the classes I needed to graduate in the fall at all the right times AND with the best teachers in the Marriott school.
• Since I have more time in the fall, I was able to change my emphasis back to Marketing instead of just doing General Business.
• I got a scholarship from BYU--which is really hard to do especially since the business school has the toughest requirements in qualifying for one
• I was worried about not being able to compete in DanceSport in August with my partner (who I didn't want to let down) so my neighbors at home gave me airline passes to fly back to Utah just so I could compete!
• I didn't have anywhere to store my stuff but it turned out that I could share a storage unit with my friend Donalee and we split the cost so it was much cheaper.
• My land lady let me out of the remainder of my contract without charging me any fees.
• Upon coming home, I got a great summer internship working in Marketing and it pays really well and the hours are really flexible
• I also got 2 piano students for the summer.
• I was able to go on our family vacations.
• I was able to see my little brother's play
• The ballroom studio by my house lets me come practice whenever I want.
• I've been able to polish up on my piano skills
• I found a place to live in the fall
• The teacher that I've TA-ed for all last year is letting me stay on and work for him in the fall
• Anna came to visit me
• Since being home I've been less stressed out and taking better care of myself so I'm getting back into shape
• My relationships with my family members are strengthening

The list could go on and on. See what I mean though? I have been blessed SO much and all of this came from deciding to move home. Before this decision, I was so confused and didn't know what to do. I kept asking the Lord to tell me what to do but I felt nothing. It required me to exercise my agency and take a huge leap of faith. Once I did, the windows of heaven opened up to me and poured out the blessings--and they continue to come! I feel as though the life/spark that was draining from me during the last couple months at school has flooded back. Each day I kneel in prayer in humble gratitude for all that God has given me.
