Getting It Right

Mmm so today. I think I really miss my sister. And sadly enough, I'm probably not going to be able to see her any time soon. Which sort of makes me sad. But not needy. I don't feel pathetic and without the strength to keep going. It's interesting.
I think I need to get my camera repaired as well. Either a new lens or just see if this one I have can be repaired. The wish list goes on.
My room is clean though and my classroom is on it's way to being there. I'm exercising again and it feels good. Life is happy and I'm more content with just being me than I've been in a long while. Haha, just goes to show you don't know what you're missing until you have it again.
I've been reading a lot lately. Mostly the scriptures. It's been really good to find the focus that brings me peace and serenity. It's like every moment I take my focus away from what I have right here and now, what God has given to me, I freak out honestly. The future is so uncertain and I can't really see any clear path that speaks completely to my soul that That is It. And I don't need to know that right now.
Getting It Right. Something my favorite book, The Truth about Forever, talks about. How hard it is. But then again, there are just some times that it just happens. You just Get it Right effortlessly, it seems.
But I think that it's only hard because we feel the need to control it. Controlling anything is hard. Especially situations involving others or things simply beyond our control. Such as the weather or the seasons. When in reality, the only thing we can control is our own actions. Getting it Right happens, when we are in the right. In the right place, at the right time, said the right thing, did the right thing, chose the right path. But what may seem to be wrong place, has just as much potential to be a right place, as any other. Who's to say something is finished until it is?
And rather than blaming the situation we need to realize it's us. Our effort in doing what we know is right, that dictates Getting it Right.

  1. Thank you LeAndra. I love to read your insight.
    I hope got this down right!

    Often right is found after we see the consequences. And to other choices we just wait a little longer, and know that intention for what one has not yet seen the results is all the right faith.
