Can you believe that it is already 2013? I can remember 2002, like it was yesterday. I was in 4th grade. The Olympics were in Salt Lake City. This of course, was just shortly after the twin towers had been attacked, which I can remember like it were yesterday as well. And now, here I am. A junior in college, A high school diploma and an Associates degree in my pocket {figuratively of course. If they were in my pocket, that would be weird.}
Have you ever looked at life like this, a list of accomplishments? I find that when I look at life like a bunch of awards, that it seems like very little has happened. That I haven't really accomplished all that much. Life has just flown by, and sometimes I begin to wonder what I have to show for it.
When I begin to get discouraged about this, the things that would make a girl sad anyway begin to pile on top of me until it feels like I have the weight of the world on my shoulders. Being a girl my age, in the state that I live, it is hard to not feel that I am utterly behind when it comes to life. Many of my friends are either, pregnant, married, engaged, or seriously dating someone. And then, Here am I. Sitting at home looking at my associates degree wondering if I have gone down some sort of wrong path. That I was supposed to do something different with my life.
As I was writing this, I was reminded of a picture than an Institute teacher recently posted on facebook.
I may not be married, I may not be seriously dating anyone, and I may not have a 4.0 grade point average in college. But, there is one thing that I have done, which is began to recognize the spirit and act on personal revelation. Sometime praying and acting on the spirit is hard. One can begin to wonder if it is really the spirit talking to them, or them just wanting to do something.
Me, I am personally grateful that I can receive revelation, and act on it. It is something that I hold dearly to me, and I hope that I will only grow closer to my Father in Heaven by doing so.
That is my babble for the week. :)
Until Next Time..
Peace & Blessings.
