Thinking back on being a little girl and teenager, it seemed that although I was happy- life just hadn't seemed to really start yet, I was always waiting to turn the corner and find some new adventure or experience that was just out of my reach. Well little girl, you've grown up (kind of!) and here's life....you don't have to turn a corner to find it, it will just plop in your lap!!!
This isn't a "woe is me" post, because let's face it, we're all living life and all could go on for hours about the woes of our existence....no this is more of a "gee, I feel like i'm actually getting it, and feel really smart today for living life"! I guess I just felt like I need to share a few things so that someday myself and my kids can go back and maybe learn a little something....the following than I guess should be titled "The Lesson's I've Learned from Life Plopping in My Lap"!
1. Making important decisions should always be made into a spiritual matter, not only does Heavenly Father have a plan of salvation for us, but he also has a specific life plan for us....if we ALWAYS seek to do His will and live worthy to receive inspiration pertaining to His will, then we will be blessed in time, beyond our earthly comprehension.
2. Having faith is an uplifting power. Allowing fear is a debilitating weakness.
3. Life is FULL of options....use your brain, the process of elimination, the advice of SMART friends and family,.....make a choice and get on with it.
4. Getting what you wished for is great, as long as you know what you really want before you make a wish!
5. SELF CONTROL is the key to much happiness!
6. Don't lose your education....USE your education. This includes things you learn from home, school, church, work, play and ALL other experiences you have in life....you're smarter than you think....believe in yourself, and ALWAYS believe in others.
7. We don't have to know the answers to everything.
8. Life will NEVER be "fair".
9. Being a mother is truly a gift, and the second greatest thing i'll ever do.
10. Being a wife, sealed in the temple to my husband is the GREATEST thing I will ever do. The first year of marriage I learned more about myself, the second year I learned more about him, the third year we learned about "us", the fourth and fifth years we learned about being a family as we added Carter and Owen....the rest....is yet to come! I'm so grateful that we have an eternity to continue learning, and growing together....life is so much better when you have a partner to share it with! How great is my love and my joy with him!
