#17) Listen

"Yea, behold, I will tell you in your mind and in your heart, by the Holy Ghost, which shall come upon you and which shall dwell in your heart. Now, behold, this is the spirit of revelation; behold, this is the spirit by which Moses brought the children of Israel through the Red Sea on dry ground."
-D&C 8:2-3

One night last month I was hanging out at my friend’s dorm. A guy we have hung out with a couple times asked us to go to a gymnastic place with him and a big group of people. I felt like I wasn’t supposed to go but my friend kept pushing me. She didn’t want to go alone and was interested in one of the guys that was going to be there. After a good ten minutes she finally convinced me to go. I told her that I was having a prompting to stay so we said a prayer and left. We got in my car and drove over to the boys dorms. I pulled in what I thought was a parking spot and soon found the front of my car leveled on a cement block. Quickly backing up, I heard a huge scrape. The bottom of my car was completely scratched up. I called my dad to tell him what happened and he told me that it was going to be alright. Sometimes I wish I would listen more to the promptings and actually follow them. If I had listened, my car wouldn’t have been damaged.
