happiness

Yesterday marked the one year anniversary since I flew home from Georgia.

[this was taken during my last few moments in mars hill, with my georgia mama. i miss her lots.]

I was released as a full-time missionary one year ago today.
If things had worked out differently, I would have been coming home this Wednesday, the 25th...

I still miss the mission and think about "what if."
But I'm happy with how things have worked out.
I can see Heavenly Father's hand in all of this, and that gives me a lot of comfort and peace.

[looking and feeling a lot happier than i was a year ago]

And y'all should read this. Srsly. 
The Lord is my light; then why should I fear?
