Routine

Here I sit a married woman. I can't even believe it. The thing my whole life seem revolved around at last has come and passed. Being a young girl I was almost programmed to find my prince charming. Next came Young Women's. A program to help me become the person, mother, and wife I want to be. Then of course high school came around with a new crush of the week. Don't get me started on singles ward. Loved every moment sure, but every lesson was on finding the ONE! It got rather redundant. 

Even though I am blissfully happy and have everything I could ask for and more I still have moments of being a human. Reality of adult life came out of no where. Life is a lot different. Routine. In my doubts and anxiety I think, "Was he really the one?" "Am I going in the right direction?".

It's amazing how Heavenly Father answers our prayers and thoughts even before we ask them sometimes. I just finished Spencer W. Kimball's Biography, and just began Camilla Kimball's Biography. I came across something. Camilla's own words.

"Some people feel that there responsibilities stifle them. I feel that fulfilling obligations is the best way to grow. ANy woman should be alive to opportunities --- alive to public interests, to her family, to growth from the church service. I have no patience with women who find life boring. Life is so interesting, it just worries me that I cannot get done all the things I want desperately to do."

Wow. I am in love with this! Life is truly what we make of it. Life is too short to be boring! Since then I have made sure to make everyday exciting! We laugh all day long. So grateful for the gospel to help keep my life going where is should, and fulfilling!
