Trust In The Lord

Today i've been pondering where my life is going... Gosh life is crazy. Today was a hard day i'm so blessed to have great friends in my life that help me and give me great advice. Today i did some things that for me were a huge step in my life... shut some doors in my life. Thanks to one of my best friends Cora (Thanks Cora! I Love ya!) Everyone should check out her blog it's amazing! She always keeps reminding me that i deserve something awesome in my life, gosh we all need great friends to remind us that we all deserve happiness and something great! So YAY for Aurora! i had to tell some of my best friends and they were so proud... guys it was a huge deal!!! I've been praying for a miracle this past month but its the Lords Will not mine i need to remember that... Things do happen for a reason, people come and go in your life. I just need to Trust in the Lord and remember that he has a plan for me. I'm so blessed to have great friends in my life... One of my best friend cora knows what i'm going through.. she went through the same thing. Disappointment. She has been such a great help! She sent me a great scripture randomly

Heavenly Father hears our prayers and wants us to succeed in life. We need to be happy. I was on twitter and i follow LDS Quotes and all the Mormon quotes which i love!!! and i've been coming across great quotes:

"In his own time and in his own way, the Lord will bring about his miracles." - Elder Anderson

"Whatever you ask for in prayer with faith, you will receive" - Matthew 21:22

I was talking to my friend Paula... i basically moved into a new ward Orem 24th ward it's so great everyone is so friendly and i made awesome friends already. We had a serious conversation talking about miracles.. How can we get a miracle? Is it just faith? Too basic? I was talking to her and said i know its faith of course it's faith and I do have strong faith and I do believe that with God ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. But i do know it is much more than Faith. But why isn't the Lord giving me my miracle? I'm a good girl, i have a strong testimony in the gospel and everything, i read my scriptures daily, i try to attend the temple once a week and etc... Why isn't he giving it to me? I was distraught ( It was one of those days) She said,

"That things will happen, but in his timing. As wman we are expected to try our best to receive the education we need and become physically, spiritually, mentally and emotionall fit and when God feels it is right, he will send taht miracle. It does require a lot of diligence and patience on our part, but we have to be persistent and work hard receive those blessings that he wants us to have."

I texted my friend Fanny and asked her a question and she called me right up and was like i'm off work and i'm going to pick you up and we will go for a drive and talk.. (don't i have amazing friends?!!) I asked her WHY FANNY?!!! she said the same thing & its all about where God wants us to be, that we are doing the right things and knowing this is where the Lord wants me to be doing right now! My other Best friends Tyson Steele and Erik Spindler Gosh they have been there since day one with this problem.. ( I LOVE YOU GUYS!!)... they keep giving me advice and sometimes i'm like but noooooo what about this haha i should have listened to them. I texted them today and they repsonded quickly letting me know that they will always be there for me haha Which tyson said,

" I'll always be there for you. Unless i'm dead. But even then, i'll try my best to speak from the grave. :) "

Erik:

" We're always here for you :) "

On a randome note... We all need to surround ourselves with great friends! True friends gosh I'm so blessed to have true friends in my life! you know who you are!! True friends will always be there for you no matter what! :D & that they will remind you that they love ya! They will help you back up when you fall and will tell you what's up!!

It's all about the Lords Timing. He knows what is best for us. we need to Trust in him. Proverbs 3:5

"Trust in the Lord with all your Heart"

We just need to be patient and it will come. Believe it will come! Keep moving forward with Faith! i know My Savior Lives and he knows what i'm going through and he is always there and he died for me so i can return with him. Which i end with one of my favorite songs that reminds me that God Loves us and he is right by our side to pick you up when you fall.

You Raise Me Up

(Josh Groban)

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary; When troubles come and my heart burdened be; Then, I am still and wait here in the silence, Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains; You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas; I am strong, when I am on your shoulders; You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains; You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas; I am strong, when I am on your shoulders; You raise me up... To more than I can be.

There is no life - no life without its hunger; Each restless heart beats so imperfectly; But when you come and I am filled with wonder, Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains; You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas; I am strong, when I am on your shoulders; You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains; You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas; I am strong, when I am on your shoulders; You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up... To more than I can be.

God is for Me.

For Valentines Day I received a book I WANTED!!! it's called For Time Of Troubles By Jeffrey R. Holland. Everyone needs to go and buy this book right NOW!!! Gosh i have so much respect for this Man. I can say he is my favorite apostle. Before i die i want to meet Elder Holland, this is on my bucket list for sure! Life surely has its ups and downs. One day i'm like YES I CAN DO THIS!! I'm Freaking AURORA PALACIO, i'm strong! Other days... its like WHYYYYYYYYYYY. I came across a section in the book which Elder Holland States, God is for me. Which starts off with the psalms 56:9:

"When i cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back this i know; for God is for me."

I got thinking this is so true, God is for ME. He is always there for me, just a prayer away. At times we feel alone and feel like nobody understands what we are going through & things are just not working out... God is always there. I can testify of this. The trials i've been going through i know i need to go through them to make me a stronger and better person. Just pour your heart out to Heavenly Father, he always listens to us and he is working on our prayers. Patience is the Key. Just tell him everthing you are feeling and he will give you comfort! Elder holland states,

"So in our efforts to swim through our sea of troubles, we must master this thought; God is for us. He is never against us"

God wants us to be happy, never sad. He wants us to succeed in life. Things don't work out sometimes and you just need to keep the Faith and Believe that things will work out in the end. Like the quote by President Hinckley, one of my favorites:

Just like in Proverbs 3:5 says: TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART Be happy!! Things will work out! Church is true! remember GOD IS FOR US. NEVER AGAISNT US.
