Please ask your Heavenly Father for blessings and guidance for the important decisions you need to make. Share with Him your hopes, dreams, and desires. Answers to your prayers will come.

If you wait for sorrow to end before you experience joy, you might miss joy completely. Experiencing a measure of sorrow may enable your heart and mind to receive pure heavenly joy!
