Gratitude

New beginnings can be exciting but they can also be stressful. Last night Preston and I found a place that we will be calling home for our time here in Utah. It was a relief to get another thing off our checklist. I am so grateful that we have an opportunity to be guided by the spirit and have good communication skills with each other. If we were not led by the Spirit we would have had a lot of anxiety about choosing a place to rent, but because we both know where our priorities lie we were able to pray and feel good about our decision. 

I am so grateful that God is so willing to guide me in the decisions in my life that are important to me. Because they are important to me, they become important to him and for that I am grateful. He knows when I need more than just a pat on the back to get me going or a jerk in the right direction. I am also grateful that He is always there, even if I feel like I'm doing things on my own. I have learned that I am not. 

I am so grateful that He has a purpose for me and guides me throughout my day-to-day activities. I am so grateful that I am marrying someone that understands the importance of the gospel. I am so grateful that Preston recognizes that our love for each other grows when our love for our Heavenly Father grows too. I am so grateful that Preston loves me, treats me kindly, and reveres me. It is a wonderful feeling loving someone, and I am grateful that I am able to feel that with Preston.
