Those with true hope often see their personal circumstances shaken, like kaleidoscopes, again and again. Yet with the "eye of faith," they still see divine pattern and purpose."
--Neal A. Maxwell
I still remained to be shocked every time something doesn't work out how I imagined. But the Lord knows me, if there is a lesson from my mission that I reflect on EVERYDAY, it's that He knows me. He does, and I must continue on that faith even when my image of life becomes as confusing as the glass of a kaleidoscope. However, as inconsistent as the images may be they are ALWAYS beautiful.
"Keep my commandments; hold your peace; appeal unto my Spirit;"
D&C 11:18
