A "Puchicka" kind of week

   If you know me well enough, you know I use the word "puchicka" quite a bit. It has become a somewhat overused word in my vocabulary. Before my mission my favorite word was "righteous" and anyone in my family can attest I annoyed people quite a bit. So, I apologize if you think I use the word to much. Especially when I am having an entire conversation in english, then I jump back to "puchicka" then continue onward with english again. One of my many quirks.  But, I  feel it just covers and explains so many of the emotions I feel. So, anyway...( If you just broke out , singing the cat song in your head, it is a common occurrence in Cox 14)

   This week was the first week of school. It has been a busy but, very exciting week. New classes, a whirlwind of weather changes and a whole lot of sickness. However, I have been able to put in practice and be reminded constantly of  the phrase, "Never take counsel from your fears." As the week  progressed I felt like I had  a lot on my plate with work and classes and other things that were demanding my attention. Satan began to make me feel like I would not be able to accomplish everything.He kept telling me to drop the two classes that I feared  most. He told me to run away from them. But, as my mission president once taught me, "the things you fear most,  usually are your hidden talents."

     Tonight I had to go over to a ward members house  and as I was walking home.... I was  able to reflect and  see the Lord's hand in everything this week. I saw the experiences I had had to keep me in the classes that I am in. I was able to realize in that moment how everything just fell into place. And I said to myself  Puchicka,Kyle,( if you did not just get that reference, you need to watch more Boy Meets World.)  Heavenly Father took all of my burdens off my shoulders and carried them.
   He needed me to be reminded once again that I can call on Him and He is there for me. I don't know what this semester will bring. I do know however that the Lord is with me every step of the way!
