Knocking the Curve Ball out of the Park

I feel that often in our lives we are thrown a curve ball & not sure how to handle it! A lesson has been learned by me in the last few days, one that has finally brought acceptance on a couple matters in my life. The Lord is truly in control of our lives & puts us where we need to be & with the people we need to be with for that time period. My life has taken a number of twists & turns in the last 6 months....
Moved from Logan to Springville, quit a great job, started another great job, started dating a great guy, things end with a great guy, played as much as I could for summer, moved from Springville to Provo, started school back up, great roommates, my job becomes perfect for me, working crazy night shifts, sleeping crazy hours, studying, meeting new people, working in the temple, & randomly applying to BYU's nursing school.
 & here I am laying in my bed, rather tired, but reflecting on the last months in my life. The hard times that I have faced & the great times that I have faced & just feeling beyond blessed. In my recent application for school the question was asked to explain a setback in my life, how I handled it & what I learned. & maybe the only reason for this application was for me to finally realize why somethings have happened the way they have. My setback I explained was a challenging year in Logan where I feel that I only became farther from where I need to be with my schooling. But I now see it as a detour & the Lord preparing me to come to Provo to be here at this time for who knows what reason. All I know is that I am exactly where I need to be & at the time I need to be here. A feeling I haven't had in a really, really long time. I just have this feeling inside that I'm on the verge of something great....kinda like I'm up to bat & I see the pitcher position his hands to throw a curve ball &  because I saw it, it isn't a surprise & I know I can hit it out of the park!
One of my nearest & dearest friends currently serving a mission in Germany sent this video in her e-mail this week & I'm certain that it was sent for me!! It has helped me understand this lesson that has been learned lately.
