it's days like these.
January 17, 2012it's days like these i kind of feel like a grandma at the end of the day, going to bed before 10:30 (this is actually a first). 7:30 AM classes will do that to ya.
it's days like these i kind of feel like an adult, then i remember i kind of am one.
it's days like these i gain a greater appreciation for those around me & love them even more.
it's days like these that i realize how much i really do enjoy spending time with that special guy, considering i got maybe 30 or less minutes to see him today.
it's days like these that i sort of feel proud of myself as i sit here in bed looking back at how much i accomplished today, even though it was my "day off".
it's days like these that i know even deeper within my soul that the church is true & that Christ is my savior and redeemer.
it's days like these that i feel content with where i'm at & where i'm going.
today was awesome. i mean sure, i could have added a few things & it would have made it spectacular, but overall it was pure awesome.
KEY HAPPY MOMENTS OF THE DAY
1. 3rd Nephi=AWESOME, seriously. i'm reading it right now. started it sunday; i've only got 8 chapters left.
2. i always feel a little better when i exercise, even if i don't do too much.
3. walking home from class, a girl tripped in the snow. i helped her up & we became friends.
4. special needs institute=the best thing ever. today in class we talked about joshua and jericho; the theme of the lesson? God ALWAYS keeps his promises, as long as we are obedient. (not to mention the beautiful soul i got to work with today. she told me about her parents who were in heaven that she missed, but knew she would get to see them again someday; it touched me to hear her say that, even though i've heard it a hundred times). can't wait to go again next week.
even though life has gotten busier, it has seemed to get much easier. & by easier, i mean more "sound"--at least that's what's easier for me. in the past i have made my life feel harder by worrying to death what's going to happen next..but ya know what? i've found peace in my mind. i've found that with everything i do there is a purpose. & i find when there is purpose in the things that i am doing, they become easier, & i don't want to complain about them. my biggest motivation in life? my future family. in everything that i do, i keep in mind that maybe i'll be developing a skill for my future eternal companion &/or my "kindred spirits". i'm not completely sure who they all are right now, but i already love & adore them more than anything else here on earth, & loving them as much as i do, they don't deserve anything but the best i can give, or prepare to give. i know i'm young, but in all honesty, i can't wait to be sealed to my best friend forever & live a life devoted to the Lord together. nothing is more precious to me than the gift of eternal families.
much love.
