Trust God and believe in good things to come

The readings this week have been inspiring.  As I approach the opportunity, quite late in my career, of starting a new business, I am uplifted by the story that Jeffery R Holland shared in "Good Things to Come".  I anticipate that my full time job will no longer be available, and I am at a crossroads.  I could seek similar alternate employment, or I can set up a business doing something that I am good at...outplacement services.  I am excited and fearful all at the same time!  Elder Holland's words are resonating with me right now: "Trust God and believe in good things to come".  The time for preparation is almost passed, and the time for action is upon me.

I didn't see unemployment coming when I started my online program at BYU-I, but almost everything I have learned is relevant to the situation I find myself in.  I was recently called as Stake Employment Specialist, a small sign that maybe the Lord knew before I did.

Taylor Richards talked about persevering and focusing on what we set our minds to we can "do amazing things" if we choose to.  I firmly believe in situational strengths, in other words, strengths that are only seen when the situation demand them - this is where we see what we are made of and this is where we see how well we are able to rely on the Lord to help us.
