WHEN! Being the key word

There isn't a matter of IF life will give you lemons, it's the matter of WHEN. This life is about dealing with the trials that are dealt to us. It's about taking those trials and enduring them with an attitude of hope and faith that all will be well. It's about relying on a greater power to help us get by.
The last month of my life has been one you could call a little crazy. One month ago I was working doing grounds maintenance for the Provo Temple, Stephen and I were living in an apartment by campus with just the two of us, and we had 7 parents. Well, life is a lot different now. It amazes me how quickly life can change. Really, life can change in just an instant.
On July 16th Stephen and I attended the funeral of grandpa Frei who found out two weeks prior that he had cancer. Then, the next day we got a phone call about a great place to live where we could take care of an elderly lady in exchange for free rent. July 19th, just two days later, we received the very, very unfortunate news that Stephen's dad had passed away and his death was very unexpected. The very next day I received a phone call saying I was chosen to be hired for the job that I had interviewed for the week prior. This job was one that I had been trying to get for the past year! I finally did it! What a roller coaster we were on those couple Of weeks.
