Today I am thankful for rest, and the chance to have it even in the midst of so much going on here at school. After school today, I just really needed to lay down and unwind. It's really wonderful to be able to put everything out of my head for a bit and get the rest I need to face the rest of the day! What's even better is being able to rest in Christ, because I am ALWAYS on the verge of freaking out right before He calms my soul and reminds me to just take it one day at a time and just be obedient in THIS moment, whether I feel like I'm making a difference or not. He has me here for a purpose that I really can't see most days, but most of my missionary work really is just being obedient while here, so that's what I'm doing.
In another note, in honor of her birthday today, I just want to shout out to my cousin, Margo Fields, how thankful I am for her on this 7th day of giving thanks. I cannot tell you how much she means, but I don't know what I would do in life without her. When you think of a great family, everybody needs a family member like her in theirs. I'm lucky to have her, and especially lucky to stay so close to her even though we've never really been close in distance. It's really helpful now that I'm even FARTHER away to be able to lean on her when I need support. She's always my voice of reason, even though I usually still end up doing what she sometimes doesn't agree with me doing. However, whatever I choose, for example moving here, she's always supported me. We may butt heads, but only because we are honestly more alike than I would ever care to admit. =) Hope you've had a great birthday, Margo!!! Love you!!
