Life's hidden lessons.

Have you ever had so much running through your mind??  possibly the thought: where will you be in 5 years? will you be married just yet? if so do you think you will have kids? possibly traveling with your spouse? or even just living happily in your cute little apartment  trying to go to school to get a good education to even start doing any of that? Well none of those are quite yet me.. but the 5 year plan is what i think about all the time? will any of that be me in that time? well I SURE HOPE SO! 


I often catch myself thinking what does god have in store for me? here is a quote i found on lds.org and it seriously is so true and amazing!!! 

"Our hope and happiness lie in knowing who we are, where we came from, and where we can go. We are eternal beings, spirit children of an eternal God. God has had a plan for our lives since the beginning of the first act—a plan that, if followed, provides comfort and guidance now, as well as salvation and eternal happiness in our postmortal life.

Understanding the following can help us live a happier life now and in eternity."

We all sit and wonder to ourselves what is going to happen next, but we should not have to sit and worry where we will be or where we will go. The lord has a plan for us and we knew it in our pre-mortal life, and we agreed to it. So it is our time to live our lives to the fullest and enjoy the ride. Don't ever let money get the best of you, Don't let a broken heart stop you from finding your soul mate-- that one who broke it is obviously not the right one so why do we sit and hurt so much over them?? 

I hate dating just as much as the next person, but its how we find our spouses. I had a chat with a friend just the other night and its kinda what we talked about and its really had me thinking so much about life!!! And made me come to an understanding that yes god does have a plan for me but i have to stick to the standards our church has provided us, and that we cannot loosen up and give in and be apart of just the "normal" world..  I am still young and in that dating stance, but i know when and if i find that one that god will know and will keep him around for a reason!!! 

So here is what i have done.. i have put together a powerpoint that has everything i am looking for in a future husband, and then i did one where its the goals i have to get there and to accomplish them and to have eternal happiness! these are some of the things i mentioned in the powerpoints i have done. 

future husband

• wants a family and shows love for each and every one of his children
• is going to be able to support me and my family lovingly
• loves the gospel and cherishes it 
• to be sealed for time and eternity
• someone who wants to go monthly visits to do temple work
• has ambition in anything and everything he does
• and last that he is happy and always has a SMILE on his face. 

my goals

• be able to be a loving wife/mother
• make sure my husband and kids are always happy do whatever it takes to support them weather it is in sports, helping with homework, or giving advice
• to be able to cook for them 
• to try not to argue with my husband and/or kids. to talk it out with a smile
• be married for time and eternity to the love of my life 

For now i am just going to live my life and know that everything in the end is going to work out and that one day i will be eternally happy and grateful for everything!! because everything we go through here on earth is one lesson closer to our eternal happiness!!
