I've been home from my mission for a couple of months now. Life has changed dramatically for me. However, one thing has not changed, and that's the fact that the Gospel is the SAME no matter where we go. With that in mind, I want to talk about some of the lessons I have learned since being home. It's a long way up this new mountain of trials and lessons. Are you ready to climb?

I'll Go Where You Want Me To Go
One of the strangest things for me to do is adjust to my home life. When I ended my mission, I thought I was ready to step back into the real world and just jump back into the way things are before. I have determined, however, it's not that easy. It's been a learning experience as I have so many things to focus on now - getting a job, getting ready for school, losing weight, strengthening my relationships with my family - it's a lot to focus on and work with.
I have thought repeatedly about how much I wish I was back in Tennessee, doing the Lord's work. However, after prayer and study, I've realized that the full-time mission aspect of my life is done. I now have other things that the Lord wants me to do with my life. I don't know quite what those are yet - but I have to figure them out and deal with them! I have to submit my will with the Will of the Lord.
One of my favorite hymns of all time is #270 - "I'll Go Where You Want Me To Go". It is the way I have been feeling the past few months - getting ready to come home, and then actually coming home. It constantly reminds me that if I do what the Lord wants, I'll come out where I need to be and do what I need to do. I'm grateful for that truth in my life.
