In Limbo

My whole life I have known what to do. I've known what the next step is and I've known what I needed to accomplish. As soon as I entered the public school system as a kindergartner I had a plan for my life: It was to complete school. Then when I graduated from high school, I knew that my next step was to go to college. While in college decisions came up every once in a while: what do I want to major in? Do I want to serve a mission? Who should I marry? But, I was always prepared for those decisions. They never blind sided me because I knew growing up that one day I'd have to make those decisions. I majored in communications, I served a mission, and I married my best friend. The thing I haven't necessarily been preparing for is what to do when I graduated from college. I have passed those big mile stones in my life. I no longer have strings holding me to anything. I can do whatever I want. But now that I have the freedom to do whatever I want, what do I want? 

I know I want to accomplish great things throughout my life. But what are those great things that I want to accomplish? I want to make a difference in the world. I want to be a voice for good. So how do I go about doing that? I guess I just have to figure it out along the way. That's what is so exciting about this time, I get to dream big, and then see where those dreams lead me. 

I am so blessed to have the opportunity to dream big and then have the tools to get there. . 

Personal Progress: Round 2

I decided that I am going to start Personal Progress again. What a great tool we have of scripture study and personal development. It's such a great way to develop Christ-like attributes and strengthen your testimony of different aspects of the Gospel. This time going into Personal Progress I am doing it so that I can develop new talents and continue in my personal progression. I don't think you can ever be too old to progress. In fact, I think it becomes more pertinent to progress the older that you get.
I think the first time that I did Personal Progress, it was so that I could receive my Young Women's Medallion, and it was something that I could say that I accomplished. Which, it is a good reason to do it. But now, I want to become a stronger and more rounded woman. It is not about the necklace that I will receive once I finish it, it is about who I will become. And I am so excited to get started!
