There have been times throughout my life when I have felt inspiration and promptings from the Holy Ghost that things were going to happen, and then… they didn’t.

In one instance, it was personal revelation affecting only my immediate family. I had been instructed very specifically by the Spirit (in the Temple, even), but when it turned out to be the exact opposite of that inspiration, I was left slightly confused. Another time I had been inspired about certain callings for myself or my husband that were coming, only to have those callings go to other people instead.

My faith has never allowed me to doubt these promptings, nor from whence they came. I know the difference between my own emotions and how the Holy Ghost speaks to me. However, I wonder… why do I experience this? Has this ever happened to you?
