ME.

I have been really discouraged lately...just feeling low and forgotten by God...like my dreams for the future are 'not'. I read an article by Elder Jeffrey R. Holland this morning and took comfort in one paragraph. He said,

"Faith trusts that God has great things in store for each of us and that Christ truly is the 'high priest of good things to come'. Keep your eyes on your dreams, however distant and far away. Live to see the miracles of repentance and forgiveness, of trust and divine love that will transform your life today, tomorrow, and forever. That is a New Year's resolution I ask you to keep".

I'm tired. Tired of always waiting for my 'future'. And feeling like a failure of a person because I am not 'there'. I want to be happy being me, and feel like what I do every day makes a difference...even IF I'm not married and have kids. Even IF I'm still single living this life of mine. I want to feel important enough and loved enough for just being ME. I desire to work hard the next few months at just being happy being ME. Keeping my eyes on my dream of a family--even if it is years away from me right now. I want to be proud to be ME.

A SINGLE me.
