What We Need ( Part 2 )

Like I was saying before, there are so many times in our lives that we think we know what we want. For example, when I was still single I had my list of traits and characteristics that I was looking for in a husband, as a tall girl it was mandatory that my husband be taller than me, and also that he be older than me as well. Idealistically he would have to meet all of those criteria before I could marry him. And you know what is funny? That's not how it happened at all. In fact, I am taller than my husband, and he is younger than me too. I thought I wanted something, but instead I was given what I need. It is like that song by Michael McLean entitled "What I Need". When I met Kevin and started to really like him I realized that is how things turn out sometime. Instead of checking off every trait on my list of wants I was given what I needed. It was a real testimony that Heavenly Father knew me and knew what I needed and He was watching out for and over me. That is not an everyday feeling , but I know that when I do have it, it's something to consider and listen to. So, when I had that feeling about the assistant teacher job I embraced the idea and didn't let what I thought I wanted interfere ( which was to stay on hiatus at home until the new year) with my Father in Heaven's will for me. I did apply for the job, and I did interview, and on November 17th I was hired as a full time assistant teacher. I filled out some paperwork and started the very next day. It happened so quickly, but even now after having spent an entire week as a working woman I couldn't be more pleased about it. Having two incomes again will be so much less stressful! Hopefully our ends will meet once more and we will have more financial options. If you are in a situation right now in life, and you are unhappy, don't be afraid to take your concerns to Heavenly Father, make a list, say a prayer, we may not always be given what we want, but he does hear our prayers and give us what we need! Trust in the Lord and lean not unto your understanding. I am really grateful that two times when it has really counted I did :)
