I don't know why but I kind of struggled with this one. It helped me realize some stuff but it also left me out of sorts. I had a goal of getting married in the temple and having kids. I don't know why it hasn't happened before but I realized that I have reached those goals. What I did not know was that as life went on I would come up with other goals that I want to achieve. The past year or so I want to travel so bad. I want to see new places and experience new things. I have never had the desire at all to want to travel so bad. I am frustrated that it is just not possible at this time of life with little kids. Also we need to work on being better with finances. :) Maybe when we are old and retired I will meet this goal. Another goal I have is going back to school and getting a bachelor's in family history. I was going to go back once Emily started school but then we decided to have another child. Maybe once he starts school I can start thinking more seriously about it. For some reason I felt like it was wrong to have worldly goals. At the end though I felt a little better with this paragraph, "
You
have dreams and goals? That’s good! Work with all your heart to
accomplish them. Then let the Lord do the rest. He will make you into
what you cannot make of yourself.
At
all times, accept His will. Be ready to go where He asks you to go and
to do what He asks you to do. Become the men and women He is nurturing
you to become." Does anybody have any thoughts they want to share with me?
