My Cup Runneth Over

I have been thinking non stop lately about how blessed I feel right now. I wish I had my sister's beautiful way of putting my thoughts but I will try. For the past few months I have been trying so hard to be as good as I can be so that hopefully the blessings I wanted would come our way. I've been praying as much as I could remember, reading scriptures, paying tithing, and everything else that a good Mormon girl could do. And for months I have been experiencing large amounts of anxiety. But every time I would remember to pray that the anxiety would quickly go away I could feel the anxiety level become more manageable. With all of that being said the last two weeks have been so full of blessings and comfort that my cup runneth over!
First Justin and I had decided that when we moved in with our in laws that we could finally spend time focusing on an apartment, since the selling of stuff and moving stuff in a storage unit would decrease the anxiety a bit of looking for an apartment. We looked for a few days with the gracious help of my sister Jennifer. It really meant so much to me that although she was a country a way that she was able to help me in my time of need. I was really grateful for her time in doing that. We found a few places that we liked but they were either too far away, or they were very expensive. But finally through a networking friend of mine, we found the perfect one. One of our concerns about getting an apartment there was that I knew we would need employment to secure a place. This place we found we asked him if that was necessary and he told us no. Things with it just got better and better. It is really close to the school Justin will be attending, as well as an amazing park in our back yard practically. We are staying in a 2 bedroom house on the 2nd floor. We got the apartment and we could move in as soon as June 15th if we wanted, but we decided that we would stay here another month to save additional funds. I applied for nearly 30 jobs in the past month, and was getting concerned that I would not be able to get a new job as long as I was in Utah, and felt that in July we would need to move to try and get some interviews. When we decided to do this, I got an e-mail from a job I applied for at the beginning of May. I was so thrilled. I then did an interview and will find out on Monday if the job is 100% mine. Right now I am 98% sure it is mine. So we are moving on June 8th and hope to arrive on June 12th. Justin has a few interviews at some funeral homes and a few tours of day care centers for Lylia. I feel like this part that should be the most stressful is not because of the most amazing wonderful blessings our family is receiving. I am sure part of it is the medication I am taking, but I know that it is with my Heavenly Father's most tender hand that we are being led. I am thankful for days like today where it feels just good. That life is being fair and that I don't remember actually ever being able to think that I wasn't being tried. I truly am humbled right now. I hope that everything goes as well as it has been, but if not, that is what life is about and I know we can make it through it. I just wanted to say my cup runneth over and I am so grateful for it!
