This week was quite the week. I have so much I'm trying to balance between all of my classes, my erratic emotions, and my job. I don't know what I would do if I took more credits.
Most importantly though, I had stake conference this week. The entire theme was about hastening the work. This weekend it became apparent that I need to prepare to serve the Lord.
Also on the topic of missionary work, Kade left this week. After almost three years, he left to serve a mission. I saw him in his last few moments before he was set apart, and I barely kept myself together. It's hard to let go of someone who has meant so much to you and always been there for you. The fact that I could talk to my best friend whenever I wanted and then having to quit cold turkey has been difficult. After I finally finished watching one of his favorite movies I wanted to text him to tell him I finished it, but as I was about to press send I realized he wasn't there to answer. Not having him here is the hardest part. I haven't heard from him yet either, which makes it difficult too. I think that if I knew he was ok, that he is happy and settling in, then life would be so much better.
When I came home from saying my 'see you later' (I don't believe in saying goodbye), my roommates were ready with cookies, caramel apples, and Mean Girls. They've been taking care of me. Emily and I keep in touch too. It's awesome to have someone who really does understand what this feels like.
I finally heard from my other best friend Tye! We were the three musketeers in my head, me, Tye and Kade, and now that they're both gone I feel slightly abandoned. But Tye sounds like he is doing well. It was great to hear from.
Every day is a journey we are blessed to have, blessed to learn from. I think that if we try to find the lesson we need to learn, then life would be so much more enjoyable. Knowing that everything happens for a reason is the best way to approach life.
