A Little PEACE of Heaven On Earth
So this week was rough. Like it's one of those weeks that can't end soon enough. On Tuesday, I had my first intramurals soccer game. I don't know hardly anyone on the team, and the are all INCREDIBLE players. Good thing I haven't played competitively since 8th grade. Why am I on this team? I don't even know. So I was terrified for my first game. Not to mention we are in the advanced league. ADVANCED. No pressure. So I get to my game, and within the first minute, I scored a goal (which is two points for a girl). So I was feeling pretty good. But then for the rest of the game I played TERRIBLE. I lost the ball EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. It was horrible. I was so mad and frustrated and embarrassed. Needless to say, we lost the game 9-2!!! After the game, my knee was really hurting for some reason. So for the past couple days I've been hobbling like an old lady. It's real attractive, let me tell ya. To make the whole day worse, on my way to the game, I got into a little fender bender with this white car on the side of the road. It was dark and I honestly couldn't see any damage at all, so I thought I was super lucky. But the next morning when I walked past the car, I noticed a small dent. So then the rest of the day I felt sooooo sick. After school I left a note on the car, dreading when I'd get the phone call and then have to involve my parents and insurance. I was DEAD. Literally, I was in SO MUCH TROUBLE. Then the rest of this week, just a bunch of other crap went down and I was not having a good time. Yesterday, Bailey, Sara, and I decided that we'd had enough of the world and needed a break. So we went to Wendy's and Bailey kindly bought us all frostys. Then we headed to the Draper Temple. I love the temple. Oh my goodness. I love being able to go there and escape all the stress/worry of the world and just feel peace and the love of my Heavenly Father. I know that no matter what happens in this life, Heavenly Father loves me and that He will always be there for me. Thank heavens for the temple, my home away from home, and a little PEACE of heaven on earth. Today, I experienced another tender mercy. The guy whose car I hit called and said he didn't mind the dent and said that it made his car look better and added character. I cannot even describe the relief I felt
. I really had to pull myself together to not cry...cuz I was in public. But seriously, Garrett, whoever you are, you are a rockstar. I am so indebted to you. Thank you for being such a selfless and kind person. You have no idea how much it means to me! I hope you have the most amazing life.
