Funny you posted this, last night I r...Hi Spencer! Funny you posted this, last night I read a chapter, "Brightness of Hope" in a book I was reading. Hope is a really great topic to read about! It is definitely even more awesome to FEEL hopeful. I hope for all of the things for you that you spoke of in this post, and I am sure your parents and friends all do, also. I said a prayer for you. One of the things from that chapter about hope was, (in regards to how to obtain hope) "first and foremost, look to Christ with joyous expectation". Having the Savior wipe away our tears is definitely a joyous expectation! He loves you Spencer, I am sure of it. And he is making sure you are not going through this journey alone. Try not to put too much pressure on yourself regarding your relationships when you are feeling this way, instead, focus on how wonderful it is and how grateful you are that your friends and family care about you, make you laugh, and stand by you (the ones that do, of course!, lol!). This should generate more hope for you and take the pressure off. I hope the semester turns out terrific for you!Annettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15491446964435864867noreply@blogger.com
