Who I am

Thursday, I received the Photo Books I ordered last week! I am surprised by their quick delivery. Then, my wonderful Sis sent me a few codes for Shutterfly.com. I am excited to use those, if I can only catch up on my grading.

As I went through the photo books, I decided to look at all of our photo books. I came across one that my love made for my birthday two years ago. What a special book this is. I initially cried as I read the words throughout the book, 25 People Who Love You (for my 25th). He dedicated one page per person with a picture and letter of why that person loves me. He only had our family and couple close friends write to me. 

As I took a trip down memory lane, I started thinking, am I this person? Do I live up to these wonderful characteristics that my family listed? Am I the person that everyone thinks I am? The person my Heavenly Father knows I am? President Uchtdorf, reminded us last night, "Am I committing my time and energies to the things that matter most?" I began to notice my bad habits that day. I told myself that I was choosing to be who I am. I am a daughter of God. I have been entrusted with the care of our two little lovebugs.

"You are not forgotten. Sisters, wherever you are, whatever the circumstances may be, you are not forgotten. No matter how dark your days may seem, no matter how insignificant you may feel, no matter how overshadowed you think you may be, your Heavenly Father has not forgotten you. In fact, He loves you with an infinite love." -President Uchtdorf

Can I just mention that I have been yearning to hear the words of our latter-day Prophet and his apostles. I am so excited. I will be petitioning the Lord with a few questions as I prepare this week. I testify that the gospel of Jesus Christ is the way to get back to live with our Heavenly Father and reach our full potential. 

P.S. I am trying to update more, I will be done with one of my classes 10/13 so I will be blasting out the posts after that. For now, you will hopefully see one a day =)
