Day 251 -- Time Will Provide Answers

Conference was a total joy.  I listened with concentrated attention to see if Father would answer my inquiry.  The opening hymn of the afternoon session was one of my favorite.  "Consider the lilies of the field..."  The gist of that beautiful song is, those who trust in Him will be taken care of.  There are other lessons, but that is one that stuck out as I listened to it, enjoyed it, and felt it.

We were told that there are blessings that Father wants to give us, they are just waiting until we are inspired enough to ask for them.  So, why not ask for $50,000 to use to serve as missionaries when the Lord, through His servants, asks for more Senior Missionaries.  One brother challenged that after we pray, asking for blessings, we need to get up and go to work. 

As I realized yesterday or the day before, this change in my life requires that I am in partnership with my Father.  Any whispered insight that comes into my mind, I must follow.  I have not acted on other direct inspiration when I received it, and later was very sorry I did not.  So as I work with Father to bring to pass all those blessings He has in store for us, I need to react to all things.

I know that any time during the day or night, Father can direct me, can inspire me what I should pursue, who I should talk to, and where I should go to realize this dream.  I felt through conference that if I did not pursue this dream and work toward realizing it, I would be sorry in the days to come. 

I did not get the answer that I would indeed realize my dream of having that money in the bank when called on our mission.  But I did get the answer that I should pursue it.  I did get the inspiration that in traveling down that road toward having that dream come true, I would know it was His will.  I will experience miracles, confirmation that we are doing what is right,  we are following His direction, and we will be blessed because of it.

I still bear witness that our dream of the coming 251 days is Divinely inspired and we are doing as directed by our Father.  And as we expand that dream to include another one, I also feel divinely inspired to do so.  Where it will take us, time will tell. Lessons will be learned.  I am ready.
