directing my path

So lately I have had a lot of experiences that have made me think a lot about the information and things I have been learning in my marriage preparation class. About a month ago we had to take a test about our preparation for marriage. We learned about our weaknesses and strengths. This was a really good thing for me because I was able to see why I am personally not ready for marriage and to help me to see what I need to do to be ready. I have seen these weaknesses particularly in the past two weeks. So I have decided to set goals to help my self improve in these areas.

Also, today in class we talked about the different phases of dating and courtship in preparation for marriage. There are certain phases you need to go through. First you need work on your discipleship. This was very interesting to me because I realized that if you are close to the Lord and rely on him then any relationship that you put your heart into that is the part of the Lord's plan for you will work out. He wants us to be happy so if we work on our relationship with him first then he will help us through our hard times. I have been struggling lately with some relationship problems and I had some decisions to make. These were very important to me and I knew that I needed the Lords help so I prayed and I opened my scriptures to a random page and my eye went straight to the Proverbs scripture: Proverbs 3:5-6. But verse 6 stuck out to me the most. "In all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy paths." That was exactly what I needed what direction. So the next couple of days, I tried to always acknowledge the Lord's hand in my life. Although I didn't get my answer right then or even that week, now everything has worked out for my good. I know because I have been making an effort to be a disciple, he has blessed me and directed my paths.
