Took me a while to read it this time around; I started at the beginning back in April. A young man in church shared an experience in which he wrote a question down, put it in an envelope, and slid it in the back cover of his copy of the Book of Mormon. He said that every time he had done this, he received an answer by the time he finished the book.
So I put a question in the back of my book and started reading. The question was:
"What should I do with my life next? Which direction should I go now?"
Over the last six months, I've received a ton of guidance, one step at a time. A series of events led me to an audition/interview in Seattle yesterday.
They put me in a very cushy suite. The team gave me high-fives after my performance. Everyone smiled and spoke about life enthusiastically. I loved them.
And I got the job.
This job. It is tailored perfectly to my dreams and goals. Travel. Help people. Share goodness and light. Act. Believe in my company. Speak more Korean. Have fun and enjoy work. Have time to do the important things.
On the plane ride home, I read the last few pages of the Book of Mormon. My question is answered in the most complete, sure way. It is an answer that has been molded and shaped and revealed a piece at a time. And at the close of this year, it is a bold arrow, pointing: GO THIS WAY.
I'm excited. A little scared, but in that good-scary way. And so grateful.
Just want to point out that: this job and the opportunities it affords are good and are a blessing from God in my life. I know that He is ever-aware of me and my intents and desires. And I know that He has big tasks for me to accomplish, that will change the world and help His children, one person at at time.
When I pray, I feel His love and confirm my ideas about the work I am to do.
When I read the scriptures, I receive strength and confidence and inspiration.
When I follow His commandments, my life is filled with perspective, purpose, and power, all gifts from the Holy Ghost.
When I go to the temple, my heart expands and I know that I am a daughter of the Almighty God.
The Book of Mormon started me on the journey that led me to that knowledge. It has given me answers throughout my life. It is my book, in the way that it has been personalized by the experiences we've had together. I carry a mini copy of it in my purse, because it not only holds the Lord's words, but it also holds every answer, all the spiritual moments I've experienced within its pages. It is a reminder of the road we're traveling together: me, the adventurous marauder pressing forward; it, the road map that points the way.
