Well, it happened again. I was minding my own business and a phone call came in. I looked at the number and had a TINY little hope that it may be the executive secretary of the Stake President. It was the office of Orrin Hatch asking me if we were going to vote for him.
I had three people ask me in ten minutes when we were going to get that interview and receive our call. What can I say to them? Nothing, just say that we are waiting. We are waiting.
I see the influence of the adversary in my life. Little things seem to happen, which I seem to dwell upon taking the Spirit away from my heart. I lament the time we are waiting for our last interview. I feel saddened that we cannot go and serve as we so desire.
I want to feel comfort, joy, peace, and hope in the future, but it is fleeting. Sunday I encouraged those I home teach to consider the words, "...hope smiling brightly before us..." Then I asked them what hymn that came from. Consider hope smiling... What a concept. I need to find that hope and have it smile for me. Hope of our interview. Hope of being called to somewhere. Hope that we can serve full time in His service somewhere in the world. (Is it really coming?)
Hope needs to smile in my life, especially in these days of waiting, anticipating, and expecting. It is, again, up to me to find that hope, and incorporate it into my life.
