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

Like seriously, I'm starting a new mission almost like a job and before I know it, I'm one of the chairs of the planning committee, a choir director for the choir committee and now the official sister missionary greeter (supposed to show them around even though I don't know my own way around, hahaha). As of today, I am now graduated from Information Processing and now moving on to communications! Crazy right?! I had no idea it would happen that quick! Ahhh
This has made me realize pretty quick that I am supposed to do this. I am supposed to be doing this mission at this time, not anywhere else. Yes, I couldn't serve a proselyting mission, but that was because Heavenly Father had a different calling for me. A unique one. That's just kind of how life goes, you expect that it's going to turn out the way it's supposed to, but instead it makes a different turn. I was expecting I would go on a full-time mission because that was what I was supposed to do, I didn't actually think they would come up to me and say, 'you can't serve one because you sleepwalk'. No! I was pretty darn sure I was going to serve a mission, and when I found that out, there was a lot of confusion and doubts and unsurety. Then I realized I was still supposed to serve a mission, a different one. Not one I was expecting and here I am! God had a different plan for me and my own personal expectancies did not realize it until I had to go down on my knees and ask God if this was what I was supposed to do. Let me tell you, it's more than just my mission that plans had to change quickly. That is one thing I am grateful of having is willing to be spontaneous. I am not afraid of change, but this particular event was hard for me. It was hard for me because I was 95% sure I was going to be serving a full-time mission, go to college then get married. Simple as that right? That's what makes life, life. Change happens and that is just part of this wonderful destiny. My family has moved a lot, and the reason for that is because my parents have followed their heart of where they needed to go. Some moves were harder than others, others were exciting and I enjoyed it. I know how change is, I have been in places from all over Utah to Hawaii and have met unique people, been in different complicated situations, faced trials that strengthened me and my family, and so much more. Life is filled with change. So as you continue your wonderful journey, just remember how much change can happen, even when we least expect it. It may be hard, perhaps too much that we can bare, but it is possible. Right now I'm at another changing point in my life from high school childhood to the young adult missionary life. This is a big change for me and I am still trying to learn to accept it, but in good time, it will come to me if it hasn't already. So good luck on finding your destiny, even if a few things have to change in order to find it.
