The first thing I want you to understand about me is that I am DEFINITELY not a BYU fan. I don't swing the way that a lot of people think all Mormon kids swing. I am a fan of the almighty University of Utah Utes. I'm not going to explain why I don't like BYU - I just don't.
As a returned missionary, I had to kind of lay out plans of what I wanted to do and what I needed to do in order to get my life rolling and headed in the right direction. These plans included moving to Salt Lake City, getting an apartment, going to the University of Utah, and having an all-out party. It was not in my plans to associate with BYU at all. I figured I pretty much had life figured out!
2 nights ago, however, God had a different plan for me, and he told me about that plan. I woke up early in the morning, probably around 3 or 4. I was confused as to why I had waken up, but then I heard just a small voice say "You are going to go to BYU." And I just laughed OUT LOUD! Just out loud! I was like "No, I'm not." I tried to go back to sleep, but couldn't really shake that voice. A couple of minutes later, I heard the voice again. "You are going to go to BYU. Make the necessary adjustments." I just stared at the ceiling in disbelief. I wondered if this was really revelation or if I was dreaming.
The next day, I pondered and pondered on it. I couldn't shake the feeling. It was something I really did not want to do, nor did it go with my plans though. It felt right, though. That was the thing - it felt right and correct, and I felt good when I considered it. Even though it wasn't in my plans, and I will have to make some new plans now, I know that Heavenly Father sees the big picture. I have no clue why I'm supposed to go to BYU. I don't really want to - but I know I should. How blessed I am to have a Father in Heaven who loves me and is willing to show me the way, especially when I have no clue what's going on at all.
So while we sometimes think things are not good for us, they might in the end be. We just have to trust Heavenly Father who loves and cares about me.
So while I'll be wearing red the ENTIRE time I'm down there, I'm excited to see what opportunities the Lord has opened up for me.
