I'll Go Where You Want Me To Go Dear Lord....

Alot has happened this week that has derailed our current course of Post -Law School plans. Ever since the summer we were 95 percent sure that Kevin would be working for West Valley City and we would live in Northern Utah somewhere. Those plans had even been moved to 99 percent surety after many long converstations with the City Attorney, Kevin was even offered to work part-time for them this summer while studying for the Utah Bar. I had come to the conclusion that I would try out doing an In-Home Preschool for a year and if I didn't enjoy it would try for a teaching job in Davis or one of the surronding school districts. However, plans change I guess, course directions are made, and the Lord felt this was not the right course for us to take, so he has sent us on a new one. The City Attorney who was going to hire Kev retired very abroutly last week and the position had to be filled ASAP, leaving us out in the dark. Immediately upon hearing this news both of us felt very dissappointed, but we were also both filled with a peace that everything would turn out for the better. Now this is not to say that I have not personally had many bouts of anxiety since then. When will we know where we are going? Will we live in a place where my career options are still available to me? Will Kevin get a job that he enjoys and that will take him places he wants to go? What state will we end up in? However, in silent moments of pondering and pray I know these questions will all be answered in the Lord's time. Yesterday, morning I was reading in 1 Nephi and came accross the scripture which struck a cord,



".........And inasmuch as ye shall keep my commandments, ye shall prosper, and shall be ed to a lan of promise;yea, even a land whic I have prepared for you; yea a land which is choice above all other lands."


It may not be on the mountain’s height,Or over the stormy sea;
It may not be at the battle’s front,My Lord will have need of me;
But if by a still, small voice He calls,To paths that I do not know,I’ll answer, dear Lord, with my hand in Thine,I’ll go where You want me to go.

I’ll go where You want me to go, dear Lord,O’er mountain, or plain, or sea;
I’ll say what You want me to say, dear Lord,
I’ll be what You want me to be.
