It has been a long time since I have written anything, but after reading my friend Jessica's blog, I felt inspired to write a few things. I feel so incredibly grateful for my life and the blessings that have come to me even though I am not perfect and sometimes feel very undeserving. Luckily, whenever I start to feel undeserving, I can't help but feel inside how much my Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ love me--with a kind of love that I can't even really comprehend, but it fills my heart with pure peace and joy.
I'm grateful for learning. Every day I feel like I am learning new things, and it helps me to know better who I am and what it is I really want from life.
I'm grateful for good friends that make me smile and listen to my silliness and give me the confidence to try all of my ideas.
I'm grateful for my parents. I am amazed how they can still offer their love when I am sometimes such a brat! Which really equals when I'm not that effective at sharing how much I really love them and appreciate all they have done for me and especially their support.
I'm grateful for second chances. Thank goodness! Sometimes I feel like I am always falling, but then again sometimes I feel like I have everything together and nothing can stop me!
I'm grateful to continue developing my talents in things that I really enjoy. I haven't gotten to dance that much since I've been home from China, but I have been playing the piano again and I just love it! I love it I love it I love it! I love how playing the piano is like an expression and I can really let my heart sing out through my fingertips and every movement I make as I try to gracefully glide up and down the piano keys. I have also been experimenting with some different recipes and it is just so fun!
I love life! Oh why do I ever doubt how good I have it? Someday I will learn to really put more faith and trust in things. I am definitely better at it than I was a year ago or even a few months ago, but I know that I want to be better.
Well, this has probably been the longest post I have ever written, so that's either exciting or a little boring? I'm not sure. But it's nice to get my thoughts out and share them with the people I love most.
Ok, my final thoughts. This means a lot to me, and I pray that as you read it that it will not only touch your heart, but sink down so that it moves us to action so that we may enjoy the blessings that come from living according to true principles!
"My dear brothers and sisters, I love you. And I pray for you. Please, pray for me. And together we will reap the blessings our Heavenly Father has in store for us." -President Thomas S. Monson
I think that is beautiful. Let's all reap the blessings together!
