The Road Less Traveled


Although life brings you heartache, it brings you a lot of joy too. Nothing in this life has turned out how I expected it to. Everything from love, to school, to friends, to even family has been twisted and churned into something new and different than what I wanted. Take school for example! I thought I was going to go to SUU for a long time there, and look at me now! I'm a student at UVU! And that happened after a lot of different options came across my path. It's funny how the Lord works.

And love.
That right there is a different league that is entirely of its own.

Lets face it, I never thought that I could fall in love again. When I had, it was too hard and too painful an experience for me to live through. I was a zombie in a very much alive world.


And here I am. I've done it again.

But this time, it is more beautiful, more true, more real, more perfect than before. It's made the other Love dwindle in it's sadness and diminish it's great power over me. I've experienced things I never thought I would experience and things I was determined not to feel, think, or touch.
But that's what's happened.

I've figured out that when I sat down and told God all of my plans for the future (like how i wasn't going to get married for a long time, I was going to go to Yale for grad school, and how I wanted to live in New York and maybe even try the film industry) He laughed and gave me Adam.

And THAT has made all the difference.
