Guided by God

Hi, I’m Rebekah. I’m a wife and mother of two sweet little guys. Reading is one of my favorite things to do; I enjoy reading about different people and different times. I’m also a quilter, which I like to do when I have some spare time. I love the teachings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. They influence and inspire every aspect of my life.

With some pretty big changes coming up in the future for our family, I’ve just been thinking a lot about God’s Hand in my life. I feel like every major step of my life has been given the “go-ahead” from Heavenly Father. I’ve prayed and continue to pray about everything, but especially big decisions. It’s so nice to feel peace and confirmation when making a big decision. Some of the decisions my husband and I have made together wouldn’t have been our first or obvious choice, but after much prayer we felt confirmation directing us to move forward. During later times when we could have questioned that choice, we know that it was right because we can recall those peaceful feelings. What a blessing that is to have in our lives! I don’t have to look back and wonder if we did the right thing. I don’t have to say, “what if…” To know that you’re moving in the right direction brings contentment.

Agency, or being able to make choices for ourselves, is huge in God’s plan for His children. He sent us to earth to make choices- choices that would hopefully be made while following His Holy Spirit. We were sent here to be tested, to see if we could do the best with what we’ve got. The gospel is an anchor in my life; something I can hold to that guides my choices and brings me so much peace and happiness.

God knows each of us perfectly. He loves each of us perfectly. He knows exactly what is best for us, and wants to give us what is best for us. Because I know that about Him, I am able to trust perfectly in Him. I can pray that I will know His will in my life, and as long as I follow that, I know things will always work out for the best.
