Darkness to Light

I saw a quote on a wall this last week that I really liked. It said, "When you come to the end of everything you know and the next step is into the darkness of the unknown, you must believe one of two things...either you will step out onto firm ground or you will be taught to fly."

Then this last weekend I was listening to Harry Potter 6 in the car on my way to Idaho and this quote came up: "Why he knew that going to Hagrid's was the right thing to do, he had no idea. It was as though the potion was illuminating a few steps of the path at a time. He could not see the final destination, he could not see where Slughorn came in, but he knew that he was going the right way to get that memory."

It's interesting to think about how many times we look to the future and see nothing, but as we continue to move forward into the darkness, things start to make sense and we see a little more. It's interesting that even from a Harry Potter book, I can learn (or re-learn) such a great lesson.

Shawn

Yesterday was a very hard day...and it was a very good day. My cousin Shawn got married. We're very close, and he's one of my best friends. When we were little, we wrote letters to each other, and we've always had a great relationship. Yesterday was hard because our relationship is changed...for good. It was good because 1-I love Jessy, his new wife, and 2-I got to go to the sealing. I thought it was pretty appropriate that of anyone, his was the first one I got to attend, and I'm so grateful I could.

Ready...

I'm oh, so ready for a change. Fortunately, I'm going to get that change in about two weeks. That's all...just two more weeks. I can be patient for just a little bit longer.
