A couple of year ago, I was about to enter into my senior
year in high school. I was an active member of our musical programs at school,
and I was eagerly awaiting the next year’s performance. My drama teacher had told
me that she had great plans for me in the musical and I was extremely excited.
It was then when I found out that my parents were called on a mission, and I
was to go with them for my senior year. I was heartbroken, seeing that my
opportunity to be in the musical was now gone. When I arrived in the new area
where my parents were serving, I came in too late to be in the drama program
there, and once again, I was devastated. I missed drama, but Heavenly Father,
being the merciful Father in Heaven that He is, filled my life with other
opportunities that helped me grow in a different way.
Fast forwarding four
years, I then received the call to go to Nauvoo to serve as a stage performing
missionary, and to be an ambassador for the Lord-- A gift and a blessing that
my wildest dreams could not have thought up. It just goes to show me that the
Lord knows me. He knew that a silly little girl would miss performing, and He
knew what I needed and at what times. This experience has been a blessing for
me to see that the Lord will never have you sacrifice something good unless he
has something better planed for you! He is my Father, my King, and He loves and
guides His children perfectly.
I feel that I could go on forever about how I was led to
apply and how it was a miracle that I was even able to get an application video
in, but the same message is intertwined within each event...The Lord’s hand is
in all things. We are never alone, and as we turn to Him, He will guide us and
enrich our lives eternally! The gospel of Jesus Christ is one of hope, light
and eternal happiness! I cannot wait to serve my Master and Friend and be able
to spread the truth and brightness of this message through performance! This is
His work!
