Anchor--a glimps (part 1) Miranda told me to leave this off and she would finish next week, but I felt inspired to post it now.

Going back to the beginning of the week- 

On Monday and Tuesday I was feeling pretty defeated. We have been kind of at a loss about what to do with our current situation with investigators and just as to why we arent finding new ones. and so that night I was praying and asking what I/we should do and the Spirit told me one word:  Anchor
The word anchor has a lot of meaning to me. I put it all into words (roughly) while I was in the MTC in January. So here is a peak into my journal:

The thoughts on my year between missions. March 2013-Jan 2014

There is something almost breath taking about being able to look back at an experience and see it begin to come full circle. That every tear, doubt, and frustration served its purpose in refining me. That I can look back and see why the experience was needed and that Father was with me every step of the way, even when I was full of doubts. And that the savior really knew my heartache and frustrations. 

Being a 'kinda, sorta' (not really) return missionary gave me the opportunity to experience something I never thought I would. I fought a battle with avoiding social situations because I knew there would be someone there who would want to talk about it, and wanting to always talk about it because 6 of the 7 weeks were some of the most joyful experiences of my life. 

Six were great, one was bad. So for a little less then a year I took myself through that week over and over. I took it to Father over and over, to discover the whys and hows, and everything I learned fits into the anchor. 

GOD- Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ are the top part of the anchor. The part that binds that chain, anchor and boat together. Without this essential part of the anchor, the tool is useless and can not keep the boat in one place.

I leaned that if there is only one person you can trust let it be God. 

I learned His teaching methods are perfect and that He designs that curriculum especially for us. 

I learned Faith in Him must be nurtured and everyday we are capable of making that bond stronger. 

I learned that when God promises that he will send angels, He does.

I have learned that the Father cares about everything we care about. 

Wait there is much more on this, and so much more I have learned, but I dont have time to finish :)

To be continued!

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!
