We all have a destiny, we just have to find it

Like seriously, Satan is on the warpath, especially to those who have chosen to serve. He knows what God has in store for us, so must he create that opposition we all despise, but guess what? We're stronger than he thinks we are and we can go through this! He's pulling my strings alright, those 'flaxen cords' as you would call them and it has become quite difficult to truly accept what is best to avoid that. Let's take for example wanting to spend the two weeks of summer Shakespeare. They are doing Henry VI and man I can't tell you how much I want to do it, but is it really right while I am called to serve? It's such a difficult decision when my passion still leads to theater and I'm still living at home, hanging out with friends, etc. What do I do with that? I continue to pray about it, but even something as minor as that has bothered me and brought me with a lot of questions. I really really want to do it, I can't even tell you how much I want to, but like the scriptures (or my mother) say: "oh be wise, what can I say more', I must make decisions that will impact and strengthen me as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. There is nothing wrong in it, but there is a fine line between good things and great things and serving this mission is the great part of this destiny
My mother gave me a good reminder this morning when she told me I needed to remember to add more spiritual things in my emails. For those who read my emails, I apologize for not further adding my spiritual moments as much as I should. It's all fun and all that, but this has truly been a spiritual experience as well. I was told that I will receive miracles every day, I just need to open my eyes and look at them. While I write in my journal every night, I try to include the miracle I noticed that day, even if it was something as minor as having the perfect amount of change to pay for my lunch or even something as big as getting on the train in time and my dad happening to be in Salt Lake to drop off Lunch money for me. As I think about it, it doesn't have to be just me to notice this. We all will go through some form of tender mercy, what we need is to look for it. Perhaps that is a part of the destiny that we fail to recognize unless it's something big, but every day there is a miracle. So I would encourage you, as you write in your journals, or even add in your thoughts, what miracles you found today, or maybe even throughout this week. Some examples: maybe you dropped your pen and while walking away, someone calls you over and gives it back; or perhaps you had just enough time to eat your lunch before attending a mandatory meeting, or maybe even finding yourself stuck in a traffic jam needing to get on the exit and a car happens to let you pass. Even in the roughest of times, miracles happen, they may be more difficult to find than other days, but they are there. Another word for them is Tender Mercies. I do have a testimony of God's power and how he can provide tender mercies on a daily basis and I would encourage everyone to look for those because they really do exist.
