One rough week...

This past week was a very rough week. It seemed like one thing after another kept popping up into my life. But I got through it. Here is what went down:

Ok so I was on an amazing high from the weekend before, and I knew this week was going to be stressful with 2 mid term exams, and some major assignments due in my classes, but I was in such a happy, loving, life state that I thought I could get through this. No big deal. Well that was until tuesday night rolled around.

So my ward had scheduled a temple trip that night to go and do baptisms. I was so excited because I had not yet been to the Provo temple! So it comes time to go meet up with the ward and I come skipping down the stairs as I see a girl on the phone standing next to my car. As I look closer I see that something is not quite right. ..

When I go over to my car, the door and part of the frame was all dented in and scraped up. I didn't know what to do. I just stood there and eventually said, "Um.. this is my car." The girl came over and "said" she had left her car in neutral not realizing it and ran back in to get an address she had written down and that her car had just "rolled" and hit my car (only problem is this is not possible. Where she is parked, when your car is in neutral, it rolls forward into the curb, not backward. And definitely wouldn't do all the damage it did to my car. We tested it). I was very calm and told her it was ok and just a car that could get fixed (or hopefully will and look brand new again).

For those of you who know me know that I LOVE my car. I do everything possible to make sure that nothing happens to it. I will park way out in the boonies at parking lots so nobody will park next to me and ding my door. So although I acted calm towards her inside I kept thinking "OH MY GOSH!!! Thats my car! Thats my car! Its just a car... ya thats right just a car... but its MY car."

I went to the temple still even though I was debating not going anymore with this happening, but decided I should still go and that Satan was just doing his best to have me not go.

So the rest of the week was pretty stressful. I studied my butt of and did a ton of assignments.  I talked with my mom a ton and she helped me get through it. I also talked with Rex, and he did a GREAT job at helping me take my mind off of everything, especially tuesday night when everything started feeling like the world was crashing down.  :)

So what did I learn this week? Well I will tell ya. I learned that sometimes in life you just have to remember that everything that happens in your life happens for a reason, even if you don't know what that reason is for yet. Our Heavenly Father loves us, and is mindful of us, and is always there waiting and ready to comfort us if we just pray and ask for his comfort. Don't ever forget that!!
