Confusion...
Life is confusing. The older I get, it seems, the more confusion occurs, especially lately. Is that because I'm not doing what I'm supposed to be doing? I don't think so. I actually think it is just the opposite. In other words, it is because I am on the right path that I am so confused. Is that the same case in every situation? No, of course not, but for me, right now, I think that that is the case. Life is a test, and the tests that make us learn the most are the hard, REALLY confusing ones that we have to really study and work to do well and go on to the next one. If I am at a confusing point in my life I almost feel like it is like my Heavenly Father is saying, "Heidi, you're doing great so far, but lets take it to the next step and see if you can learn some new tricks, and strengthen some of the old ones, to get you through this life. But I don't want to, and can't, give you too many hints. That would be cheating. Just see if you can figure it out on your own, and I'll just let you know if you are doing it wrong." I know that I have lots of people standing by me, my family, my friends, my Savior, and my Heavenly Father, helping me along the way when the life gets especially hard, and because of that, no matter how confusing, hard, or down right depressing life can get, I know I'll be able to make it through with a smile.
