I know that it has been said before, but God really does work in amazing ways. I can't help it. #I'mamormon. These posts come around every once in a while. :) Yesterday, a member of the bishopric texted me and asked if I could meet with the my Bishop today, and I willingly agreed. I was a little confused--I already had a calling, and my temple recommend was up to date...no mission plans either. Maybe he was going to chastise me for not doing my visiting teaching this past month........yeah..... Anyway, I put it to the back of my mind until today. I showed up at his office at the appointed time and he ushered me in. I sat down, still a little perplexed as to why I was there. He proceeded to say, "Jessica! How are you? You're here for a temple recommend, right?" Me: "Um, Bishop, you most certainly gave that to me last week." Bishop (dumbfounded): "Wait, really? Man! I thought I hadn't given you your recommend yet!!" Me (proceeded to pull recommend out of my wallet): "Well, you most certainly did!" So, instead of having a temple recommend interview, we just had a chat instead. I just sort of asked him some questions that had been weighing on my mind really heavily this past week, and the things he said were EXACTLY what I needed to hear. I needed a little bit of assurance this week, and that is how I got it. The Spirit knew that I needed to confide in someone and get some help this week, and He knew exactly how to get me into that office, because I am often too nervous to ask for help even if I need it. And maybe I didn't think that I needed that talk as much as I did, but afterwards I realized how much a simple conversation with a wonderful, spiritual Bishop had helped me. The Lord works in amazing ways, friends. I know that He is ALWAYS there for you, even if you are not there for Him. The church is true, guys. It really is. :)
