"Bloom where you're planted"

               I have relearned this week how very important it is to learn to trust the Lord and to trust that He knows what is best for us. He knows everything from the beginning to the end. I have always known that, but (like I said) I had to relearn that. You see, this week, I had to leave my first area and I wasn't that excited about it. I was kind of sad actually and I didn't want to leave my "home"... the place where I had made so many new friends. ...But I knew that the Lord needed me to serve in my new area for a reason and I believe that. I was just struggling with leaving, I guess, for whatever reason. I had to pray for help from my Heavenly Father and He helped me. I love my first area and I will miss it, but I am here now and we are supposed to "bloom where we're planted." I am enjoying my new area and I am glad that I get the chance to make even more friendships and to help more people come unto Christ! It was a small trial of my faith, I guess, but I know that the Lord will help us as we turn to Him in faith.
