Big picture



I ran today.
It felt great.
I've needed to clear my head for a few days now.

A few days ago, I met with school counselors to get my life figured out.
I have two or three more years of school ahead of me.
Two, for a B.S. in Art.
or Three, for a B.F.A with a Graphic Design emphasis.

Can I just tell you how hard it is to see the full picture sometimes?
I am definitely continually learning to have faith that things will work out.

I am grateful for a Heavenly Father that knows this is hard for me.
Knows that I take things personal and feels defeated.
Knows that if I am being prayerful-I can feel at peace.

I keep having thoughts of still feeling rejected and defeated for not passing the review for Interior Design.
I keep telling myself, Lauren pull yourself together. Get over it.
But that is easier said than done.
I keep thinking that I'm going to get a call or an e-mail saying, oh J.K. come back in.
But that's ridiculous. I know.
It's going to take time to let Heavenly Father take the steering wheel of my life for a bit and help me see the big picture.

The big picture of choosing a major that fits me better.
A major that I can handle.
A major that Heavenly Father has been planning for me.
A major that allows me to still be a mother.
A major that is just for me.

Sometimes you just have to go for it


I came across this quote last night and I found it really fitting for myself.
I found this applicable in a lot of areas in my life.

Many times in my life, I have been afraid to jump-take a leap of faith.
Whether it's with changing my major, changing friends, letting go of people or letting go of hard feelings.

Just do it.
