Blessed

Today I had an amazing epiphany. I've felt... lost in my life. I suppose probably in a semi-normal mid-twenties kind of way. I don't feel like an adult, but I don't feel like a child or even a teenager. So I've felt lost, and there have even been times when I've felt like God doesn't answer my prayers. Today, in the clarity and serenity of the temple I had this great thought. Even though I don't really know where I am right now, or the direction that my life is headed in the next few years... God does! When Adam hid from God in the garden of eden because he was naked, God didn't ask Adam where he'd been because he didn't know- of course He knew! He asked so that Adam could see where he was in relationship to God. Now, I imagine later, out of the garden, that Adam and Eve were pretty lonely and maybe discouraged at times, wishing for the good old days in the Garden. They followed the commandments that they had received thus far, and waited for the Lord to send more instructions. When the angel came, I can imagine Adam's relief. So for now, I'll keep doing what I've been told to do for now. And I'll remember that the Lord knows where I am, even when I don't.
