My Thai Missionary: Choose Your Path

Sunday inviting at the university!

I've started a new list since being on my mission. It's called, MIRACLE not Coincidence. This made it. Yesterday morning I woke up while waiting for my turn to use the bathroom, read a quote on the back of another sister's guitar from the book Alice in Wonderland, the same quote that President Monson used in his talk, "Choices".

Alice: “Which path shall I follow?”
Cheshire Cat: “That depends where you want to go. If you do not know where you want to go, it doesn’t matter which path you take.”

Then at church, a member used the same quote and the talk that President Monson gave, and I was like--"Hey I read that this morning"

Unlike Alice, we know where we want to go, and it does matter which way we go, for the path we follow in this life leads to our destination in the next life.

So then I went home and read the talk by President Monson during my studies and highlighted a part I liked.

May we choose to build up within ourselves a great and powerful faith which will be our most effective defense against the designs of the adversary—a real faith, the kind of faith which will sustain us and will bolster our desire to choose the right. Without such faith, we go nowhere. With it, we can accomplish our goals.

Miracle > Coincidence

But it's not over!

That night, literally at the same moment while mentioning this very miracle during follow up calls and simultaneously flipping through my other list I've started since being on my mission called "LYRIC ideas", I found something I had randomly scrawled out a couple weeks ago:

"Choose your path, Alice."

Then I felt a little creeped out.

Anyway, the church is true! While I'm working on understanding the purpose of this miracle in my life, I give you all the same commitment that President Monson shared with us:
