Somewhere in between myself and the future

So I've had a lot of time to think lately and this past weekend on the road trip to California there was a lot of wisdom being shared from my aunt and her friends. I also just think I came to some conclusions that I needed to and I feel really good about them. So throughout these conversations I learned that there is a lot that life hands you and you just have to take them and work through it. You can try all you want to make things not happen and safeguard yourself but even when you are doing everything right in your life trials are still handed to you and you have to go through them to make you stronger. It's a fact. I know this from my life thus far. And I am grateful for my trials I have been through in my life. I have learned so much from them and grown so much. But to see these people going through trials with husbands and kids and extended families scares me.Especially knowing that people have their own agency and can chose to leave the path and not chose the right. I know that I may eventually go through some of those things and be able to go through them now with the help of my Heavenly Father. 

A lot of things have been happening lately that have been urging me to get closer to my Heavenly Father and I can't deny it. Literally I have ran into people from a long time ago and they tell me a great inspiring story about them and HF and it really touches me. Or a situation comes up that makes me stop and think.. "That had to have been straight from HF.. cause he knows me so well." 

Anyways.. I have noticed that I like where I am at in life.. yeah.. I said it.. I am single.. 25.. no children.. Definitely not where I pictured myself 10 years ago.. but I love it! I feel so Independent and free from so much!! So those are things that I am not.. these are things that I AM.... almost done with my Bachelors Degree.. A homeowner.. A car owner (fully paid off) .. getting healthier.. I am working on myself and bettering myself for the future! I have come so far and I want to go so much further. 

So from here on out I am going to be more social, be more involved with church activities, do more things for me and yet serve more people and give of my time and talents....AND I LOVE IT!!
