So my first choice for what college I wanna go to is BYU. I figure, being a new convert and leaving home for the first time, it'd be easier for me to be surrounded by other members. It'd be more natural to stick to my standards, and it'd be much easier to find an awesome guy :)
But guess what.
As mentioned in this post, I can't go to BYU :( it's crazy far away from where I live. My mom doesn't want me to be that far away. And the major I originally wanted to go for (fashion design, yeah!) doesn't exist at BYU. RAWR.
So I shall be going someplace else. It has Institute, but the program is super small (yes, I look into all this stuff waaay ahead of time!). Plus out of state tuition is nasty. *sigh*
But ya know what I figure? There's gotta be a reason BYU isn't gonna work out. There's gotta be something at the college I plan on going to that I need to do/see/experience.
So the plan is to trust in Heavenly Father's timing and His plan because it's much more awesometastic than mine could ever be :)

PS sorry this is so short compared to my usual posts. Wifi has not been my friend the past couple days, so I haven't been online to post. I've got wifi for the moment, but not for very long, so I had to make it quick in order to get the post up.
It's hard to trust Heavenly Fathers plan even when it seems like if he could just tweak something's it could work out much better. But you're absolutely right, he loves you and his plan for you is what will bring you the most happiness :)
ReplyDeletePs have you heard about Byu Idaho? Or southern virginia university? They are both other options for people who are not able to go to Byu but still want the lds environment. But if that isn't heavenly Fathers plan, then you should stick to what he wants you to do still!
Thank you for the suggestions, but they're pretty far away too :( oh well, the place I have picked out is pretty snazzy :) I visited it recently and I super like it :)

BYU is a great school, but there are so many great things about other schools as well. I myself am probably not going to go to BYU. Being at BYU is great, but think of how many more missionary experiences you could have at another college. Good luck!
ReplyDelete"faith in God also includes faith in his timing"
Woohoo, missionary moments! :D very good point, thank you :)

Yes, I am sure God has wonderful things in store for you no matter where you go to college! You have such a great attitude! I bet you will end up being a strength and example to someone who really needs you there. ♥ And fashion design sounds totally amazing!
