Building Faith

I made a promise in December (and it was not a new year resolution) to the Lord to do some things, to get my self in better situation to be able to hear the promptings more. One of those promises is to finish reading the Book of Mormon in a month. I am trying to act on even the smallest promptings of them all. I am sure that once I train myself to hear and act upon them. That the Lord will not hesitate to give me more of them. I can already see the difference in my life and in the spiritual growth I have been experiencing. I do not want to stop, because I haven't felt so surrounded by love and having so much peace, in a long time. All my worries and stress are all gone. I am sure that financial dilemma over business will not go away quite yet, but I am at peace and I know that  Father in Heaven is watching over me and I will let him direct me and guide me more. 

Space/Galaxy

I think its interesting to note that Astronomers allover the world started to count how many planets we have in our galaxy. They are still counting, but conservative estimate by astronomers shows that there are 1.6 planets for every star. “We‘re finding an exciting potpourri of things we didn’t even think could exist,” said Harvard University astronomer Lisa Kaltenegger, including planets that mirror “Star Wars” Luke Skywalker’s home planet with twin suns.
We‘re awash in planets where 17 years ago astronomers weren’t even sure there were planets” outside our solar system. Can't wait for a time when we can go exploring all those cool planets, but we may have to wait for our Savior to come first. :)
 Popular Science reports one expert not involved in the study as saying there could be even more:

“Planets are like bunnies; you don’t just get one, you get a bunch,” said Seth Shostak, a senior astronomer at the SETI Institute who was not involved in this research. “So really, the number of planets in the Milky Way is probably like five or 10 times the number of stars. That’s something like a trillion planets.”   

Change in Life

The last 3 ½ years, because of the recession were very hard for my business and me. The recession hit me hard and I am trying to do everything I absolutely can to keep my head above the water. It’s not easy task, especially when all your savings are depleted.

For the last 2 years I had the answer to my prayers that everything will be ok. Of course I cannot see what the Lord has in plan for my family, business and me. I know that whatever it will be, it will be ok, even if I won’t have my business anymore. The Lord sees things in the bigger picture.

Two weeks ago a small whisper told me that by April I will know of the direction I will be taking. In April my lease is over and I am sadden because I pay almost 3600$ per month for the location I am in. The landlord knows of my situation, but he is not willing to lower enough for me to stay in business. So April will be a very interesting month.

I Love what I do, but if by any chance I will no longer have my business, I am not sure what I will do to support my family. One thing I am grateful for is the knowledge I have of infinite love of my Father in Heaven for me. He is guiding and protecting me. He wants me to be happy. I will put my trust in Him and let Him direct my life just a little bit more.
