Everything happens for a reason

Well I looking at my blog and realized it has been a few months. So here is an update my friends or who ever actually reads this.
 Well I don't think I have told many people this, but I took my state boards back in august. I passed my written portion, but did not pass my practical,because of one stupid simple mistake, I wrote the wrong measurement.  At first I was a little mad, but mostly at myself for doing such a dumb things. I knew better than that too. But oh well it happened. Anyways so I had to pay and retake my practical portion of the test again. Well it took some time, but I did it. I took my test this past week, and ......... I passed! I am so relieved now.  Though the past few months have kinda sucked,because well I don't much care for my current job, I think that me failed actually turned out to be a good thing and I think it was supposed to happen. I have learned a lot over the past few months.
So here's what I learned...... The lord always finds a way for us. I know I don't share much about my testimony with people or really anyone. But the past few months have been a real struggle for me. I was accustomed to having money and being able to do whatever I wanted before. Of course I was saving my money,but still I was able to go out and do the things I wanted. I have slowly learned though that the Lord really does help us out. I hat not having extra money that I can use for fun or whatever, but I have learned that over the past few months, I always have just enough to do what I need to. I always have just enough to pay my bills and get gas and get what I need to. Sure I have to save a bit for the more expensive stuff, but it has taught me a lot and it has taught me to put my faith and trust in the Lord because he is always going to be there to help us.
That my friends is why I think I was supposed to not pass my test. I also think its because now that I have, I have been presented with this amazing job opportunity to work with special needs people.  This job so far looks and sounds amazing and really sounds like something I would enjoy very much. So I am hoping and praying that I get this job.
Also over the past few months I have done a lot of thinking about me and my relationship and trying to figure things out. I have learned a lot about myself and the person I want to be and need to be. I know that I make mistakes, and I can't let those mistakes effect how I live my life.
Well as for my love life. Well that guy and I are still dating. Has it been easy? No. But it has also taught me to be more patient and not to get a head of myself. All relationships have there ups and there downs,but you just have to keep moving forward and hope everything works out, because it usually does. And for me it did. We had a bit of a rough patch for a bit, when I was not sure what was going to happen or even if there was going to be anything, but thanks to my wonderful bishop and my amazing best friend, I was able to figure some stuff out and we were able to work though the rough patch. Well I still don't really know what is going to happen, but I know that I am happy with him and we will just figure it out as we go along.
So I have just been keeping my head up and looking on the bright side of things in all hopes that everything will be good, and even if it is not always good, at least we can always learn from it. So my advise to you, is to keep your head up as well, and know that everything happens for a reason. Although we may not know what that reason may be at the time, we just have to know that someday we will figure out that reason.
