God is Good.

I just had a lot of things on my mind that I wanted to share. Amazing things, really. My lovely young women's leader challenged us to read a talk by Elder Holland. It's called "The Grandeur of God" (click here) Read it. It is incredible. Honestly. It occurred to me how much I feel like my Heavenly Father is distant in my life in comparison to my Savior, but while reading this I realized how wrong that really is! My Heavenly Father is as much a part of my life as my own father, and even more. He loves me like my earthly dad, but in a PERFECT way. I can't even comprehend that kind of love. 
I thought about when I ask my dad questions, sometimes he gives me the answer right away, and sometimes he tells me I get to decide because he trusts my judgments and decisions. Heavenly Father, I believe, is the same way. 
So next time you are wondering why Heavenly Father gave you the challenge he did, or why he's not answering right away, think about him as your Father. Think about him as a concerned friend. He loves you and me so much. 
And in the end everything will work out for the absolute best. Although through our earthly-eyes that can be extremely difficult to understand, Trust me, I get that.
Faith is my only answer to that.
