I Turn My Head to the North, Swallow that Pill that They Call Pride

Look at the glass half full.
Find joy in the journey.
Come what may and love it.
Nothing is as constant as change.

This morning was a great morning as I really took the time to look at my life and see what the Lord has in store for me - what does He want me to do. I read through my patriarchal blessing and the conference talk "Finding Joy in the Journey" by President Monson, I studied my scriptures, wrote in my journal, and talked with my parents and was uplifted and strengthened. Sometimes it's hard to see things when you're the one experiencing them, but as we listen to the guidance of the Lord, prophets, and loved ones, our eyes are opened and suddenly we can see. Sometimes I look at my life and think, what am I doing? I don't see anything in my future and I am scared. So many roads to travel and decisions to make and you want it to be the right one, the one that's best for you, but you don't know which road that is. But I know that the Lord loves me and has a plan for me. He allows me to travel down the road I think is best and then will push me another direction if it's not quite what he has in store for me. I think of the things I want and then the Lord shows me what I can have which is better than what I ever thought. Life is hard, life is great. Keep your head up and eyes to the Lord. I have much to be thankful for. Sometimes we need the trials to send us where we need to go. I love my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. I love my family and my friends. It's great to be me.
