In a Constant State of Limbo

The last three years of my life have been very interesting. It often feels as though I find myself in the same place. A place of yearning to feel a sense of belonging. Now, I absolutely do not mean this in the sense of not belonging to a certain group of people or anything of that nature. I am talking about belonging to plans.

I have always been very blessed to know who I am, where I came from, and where I am going. I have known this on the big scale. However, I just have to figure out the smaller things that, with the help of my Heavenly Father, will get me to where I am supposed to go and, more importantly, who I am supposed to become. By little things are great things brought to pass. 

Today at church, the bishop of the ward that I was attending was talking about the "comfort zone" and being stuck in a rut. I have been stuck in a rut since I graduated from high school. I don't seem to be able to figure out what I am supposed to be doing with my life. I don't know what I am supposed to become. 

This has been frustrating to me.

Over the last couple of months I have realized something. 

I have been put in this rut for a reason. 

That reason is to get out. 

I just need to climb out. 

How am I to do this? 

Quite simply, put all of my trust in the Lord. Aligning my will with the Lord's is the answer to every dilemma. He knows me better than I know myself. He is my creator and Redeemer. He has been through what I have been through and walks by my side as I go. 

Life is so much more meaningful when this happens. 

So, out of this rut I will climb. I am replacing all of my fear with faith and am excited to see the results of this leap. 

I know that there are other ruts that will come and I will have to climb out of those. But for now, I am going to put all of my might into getting out of this 3 year rut. 

Here we go!
