It Mattereth Not




I've been so focused lately on where we are going to go next. I think that is just part of living in the trailer. We need to have a place to go and we can't always stay in the same place and for months and months now we haven't known what would come next. We haven't known where Jacob's work would take us. We haven't known how long we will stay in the trailer, or if we will buy a house or rent a place or where we will be even a month from now. There has been a huge question mark over our future.  Kent keeps asking me where we are going to be for his birthday, which is at the end of August,) and I have to keep telling him that I really have no clue.

I was reading in the Doctrine and Covenants and came across this scripture: 
"Whether to the north or to the south, to the east or to the west, it mattereth not, for ye cannot go amiss."
Doctrine and Covenants 80:3

It really resonated with me because I have been so wanting to know where we are supposed to go. North, south, east, west? Where are we going to live? What is going to be the best place for our family? What place is going to put us where we can help gather Israel and do the Lords work for us? This scripture to me means that it doesn't matter where we go. We will be in his hands in whatever place. We will have a work to do in whatever place we end up. We can make a difference wherever we go and we can give service and be kind and make friends and stand as a witness in all places that we may be in. I don't need to worry so much about the details. That will come in time and will work itself out. It always does.
