Time

There are times in life when God gives us trials where time feels like an eternity.  Time is a funny thing: it flies when you're having fun and stays forever when you're miserable.  The hardest thing I'm having issues with right now is accepting that the Lord is in charge and everything will happen in His time, not mine.
My very best friend is on His mission right now serving the Lord, and although two years isn't that long, it feels like an eternity to me.  I used to cry every night, wishing and hoping, for help and comfort, and then a special someone told me, "Missions are like a circle; you take one step farther into the field and one step closer to home."
Staying busy isn't going to be enough for the next year: I'll have school, church callings and work to keep me sustained, but in order to keep myself from going insane, I need to fully indulge myself into the Lord's work.  I need to submerge myself into the Gospel and Trust that the Lord will make everything better in the end.  If its not any better, its not the end.
