Chosing happiness

The Lord is in my life. It is evidenced in so many things. I am on a path of acceptance, and I'm getting there. Little by little I come to accept His will for me more fully.

Though the path I am on right now causes me pain and loneliness at times I know that it is there for me to become the best me that I can be. It hurts, and I hate it sometimes. But I trust him.

I was having a talk with my roommates the other day, and one of them told us about this article in the February Ensign. This is what struck us all

"I have learned not to sacrifice hope in order to bury pain."

I am working on that. I do a pretty good job most of the time. But sometimes I need to be reminded. Last night my home-teacher said (with out me having said anything about being single) that we have the choice to be happy or sad and if we let our singleness depress us or if we continue to be happy through it all. I can choose. Though it's a hard choice sometimes, I continue to choose happiness.

I choose happiness
