a lot to take in. through him i am strengthened. choices.

day to day things seem simple. get up, do work, eat, sleep. but often things seem overwhelming.. how am i supposed to learn all of these things in my classes and remember it so i can continue in my degree, balance friends, keep up with my family, do the things i want, work, focus on homework and please everyone, all at the same time? may not seem like much but its quite the task. i have found myself often times turning to my scriptures looking for answers. keeping the faith and trying to stay humble. i feel pressured to be like the world.. to act like the people around me to be accepted. often times i feel judged, but at the end of the day my thoughts are always turned to my Heavenly Father, the Gospel, the Temple and my love for those who are good examples to me. my eyes tend to drift to the small picture, but i am reminded often that the things i do in my everyday life will affect me forever. the smallest of choices have the biggest affect in our lives. when you think about it
choice is a gift. picture this- you wake up, but instead of choosing what time your going to get up some one else does. so its a weekend and your plan is to sleep till 11:30 roll out of bed and grab some breakfast, instead your up at the crack of dawn. as well as school days you sleep in till 10 am and you had no say. your late and all havoc amend. i know i really take choice for granted. im thankful that i have choices to make in my life and that i can make it my own. our agency is a gift from our Heavenly Father. its as simple as our earthly life resembles a test. be good, make good choices and you will have eternal glory. with every choice yours as well as every power of his. i cant even imagine what that would be like. im thankful for the truthfulness of the gospel in my life. and the happiness it gives me.
