Making Decisions Between Good and Better

Dear Truth Seeker,

I have had some very interesting experiences since my last post. School is finally winding down, and I find myself already planning my summer. So far it looks like I will just be working my little hands to the bones with various jobs fortunately earning good money. I am excited at the opportunities that have presented themselves to me and in such abundance. It is surely not of my doing that I am in such a situation. I am in a hard spot, but I know that Heavenly will help me make the choice that will allow me the greatest number of possibilities. I have recently been accepted to an internship in Paris, France, but at the same time I have been also accepted to be a teaching assistant and research assistant for the fall semesters. 

The Lord has richly blessed my life with some outstanding opportunities and at times it is very hard to make wise decisions. The Holy Ghost has been instrumental and I need his help. Recently during the last General Confrerence we were all reminded of something as fundamental as the lessons that we learn in Primary. As President Thomas S. Monson taught us in the Priesthood session, tthat we should 1. Study diligently and 2. Pray fervently. I am very grateful that in a world where decisions must be made, that our Heavenly Father has given us a way to receive answers to our prayers. As we study and do the things that the Prophet asks us to do, we may be eligible ot have the Spirit with us, and in the process we will be guided towards better solutions. Even if those decisions are between things that are better and best.
