Look Heavenward


"There comes a point in your life when you realize how quickly time goes by, and how quickly it has gone. Then it really speeds up exponentially. With that, I think you start to put a lot of things into context; you start to see how huge the world is, and really, the universe."
-Michael Keaton
All we do makes an impact wherever we go, on whomever we meet. Time goes by too quickly and it can be easy to get lost thinking of the future and not living in the moment. 
I have learned and grown so much living in Kansas! All the experiences I've had have truly made me stronger spiritually. I have made so many good friends in Kansas, those still here and those who've moved to new places. Although I am unsure of what my future holds, I know that God will guide and direct me and my family.

Even though things are hard to understand, we need to trust that God will provide for us.

"[...] Peace as promised of God. I speak of peace in our homes, peace in our hearts, even peace in our lives. Peace after the way of man is perishable. Peace after the manner of God will prevail." 
The steps to finding peace as defined by President Monson include: 
  1. 1. 
    Searching inward;
  2. 2. 
    Reaching outward; and
  3. 3. 
    Looking heavenward.
  4. Finding Peace- President Thomas S. Monson 
Any advice I could give would be to look for opportunities now to make your life better and more fulfilling. Hope brings peace and God has that for us. Serve others now; look for the good in others; strive to be the best person you can be. Life is too short to live it regretting chances you didn't take. Take a chance and make your dreams come true! 

"Hope lies in dreams, in imagination, and in the courage of those who dare to make dreams into reality."
-Jonas Salk
