"God has been nothing but good to me."

Where do I begin? There has been so much that has gone on in the past 2 months! And i'm sorry that I haven't been better at blogging. I've been nagged and nagged about writing a new post, but life has been so crazy that I haven't really had time. But no time like the present now, eh? :)




Just an update on the Broadhead life so far Brittney graduated from BYU a few weeks ago in dietetics and was able to celebrate it with most of the Broadhead clan!

 I also graduated from the Center for the Advancement of Leadership with Distinction. And was lucky to have my mom there to see it!

Life is so full of surprises. And it's when I don't expect it, that something appears, or reappears, into my life. But what I have realized lately is that I wasn't ready for these 'blessings' when I thought I wanted them. And that's why the Lord is so amazing. He knows exactly when we need something and the right timing of everything. A few weeks ago I had something happen that changed my life. I thought I had lost something forever and had to mentally prepare myself to kinda change my life and my outlook. It was one of the most mind-blowing, mind-opening experiences I have ever gone through. It really made me put into perspective what was really important to me and what I wanted out of my life now. And as painful and hard as it was, it made me make some crucial decisions in my life. And for one it helped me decide my career path among some other things, which is something I have been struggling to decide. And through this time I have had many opportunities open up. Which I could not be more thankful for. Life may not turn out the way you planned it to, but the Lord has a way of making it turn out better than we ever could have planned. 

I came across this video a few days ago and it really made me think. What would happen if the person you were in love with suddenly had an accident. Would you still love them the same? What would you do? Would you still do anything for them? Would you still want the same life with them? Then after thinking about that it got me thinking about marriage and what it really means to me and to our Heavenly Father. Marriage is so sacred and so precious. It is so hard, but is so worth it and will bless us immensely. And this video taught me the importance of communication in a marriage and most of all, love. Love for your spouse no matter what the circumstance. Whatever happens, whatever is going on, love your spouse. Love them for who they are and what they believe.
