happy where I am


i've done a lot of changing these last few years, really finding out who I want to be. i'm always thinking i need to be really solid in who i want to be, and what i want to do daily, so theres no drastic changes when we have children. so they grow up knowing it's just we always did as a family. i think of all the challenges i've overcome, and grown out of. coming back to church has made them all so much easier.

the day i got this tattoo, i thought i was the coolest person in the world, little did i know it would lead to 3 more. all within 9 short months of each other. i don't regret them, i look back on them now and see how much i've grown. they've helped me remember who i am in a way.

i've grown from my mistakes, and appericate where i am so much more now BECAUSE of them. they've help me relize what is really important life, what really matters on a daily basis. there are things in life that make it easier, like money, but does it really matter everyday, i think no. yes money is nice and yes it makes life easier at times, but what really makes life easier for me? praying. talking with my Heavenly Father, knowing that he knows me and hears me.

we make just enough for what we need right now. we will be blessed when we need more, but for now we have just what we need. we don't need a big house, we don't need fancy cars, we just need each other and the wonderful most true gospel on this earth, someone to enjoy it with for ALL eternity. i'm beyond grateful for how Heavenly Father has blessed my life. he's given me so much strength and courage to stand tall.

i am so much wiser now.

i am happy that i don't drink anymore, i am happy (as hard as it is sometimes) to not wear tank tops anymore, i am beyond happy that i can attend the temple whenever my heart desires. i am happy i don't cuss anymore. people have seen the change, and respect it.

i don't really know the point of this post, its all over the place. my life used to be all over the place, intill the Holy Ghost burst into my living room and told me to get it together. i'm just grateful for all i've been thru, and really for where i am today. where i stand in all that i believe in. daily i try to make time to sincerly study the gospel, more then just read the scriptures. my spirit needs fed more then just at church. i try to not get so caught up in the worldy things and remind myself what really matters, not money, not cars, not material things.

what really matters to me? my husband, our family and friends, the gospel of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, building up my talents for my future family, being a good example at ALL times and in ALL things and in ALL places.

i'm just happy where i am
