September 16th Today I Felt Like it

Today I felt like it.  I felt like I was the person who knew it - what I was doing; who I was; the reason I was set here, my purpose, my passion; my love.

I'm striving to be an influence.  I'm striving to better the world.  I'm hoping to be an asset to all who come across my path.

I am who I am.  No one can change that.  I am a person who knows why she's here.  I am a person who loves the feeling of being herself.  I am a person who loves the feeling of happiness and enrichment her best friends give her.  I am a person who tries her best to live the seven standards of Terra Libre (this is about Summit) - Work Hard, Serve Others, Seek Knowledge, Promote Peace, Protect the Weak, Respect Women (or in my case, men), Live By Faith.  I am someone who would fight with courage, honor, and victory.  Courage, knowing that, no matter what, God would deliver me.  Honor, fighting with the knowledge that I am standing for what is right.  Victory, knowing that even if the battle fought on ground is not won, I have already won in my heart.  I am a person who walks in a straight line, following the straight path that will lead me home.

I was set here to live a life of trial, tribulation, hardship, and enduring.  I was set here to live in the family I'm in - to be an example.  I was set here to learn.  I was set here to gain a better knowledge and understanding of the gospel so I would know my Heavenly Father better in the next life.  I was set here to be a woman of virtue.  I was set here to multiply and replenish the earth according to the way God wills me to do it.  I was set here to teach the standards of the gospel to my prosperity.  I was set here to raise a generation of noble, virtuous saints that would glorify God and His works.  I was set here to live life to the fullest.

I love life.  I love the people in it.  I love all the opportunities.  I love my family, my friends.  I love who I feel destined to be.  I love my dreams.  I love myself in that good, confident way.  I love aspiring to be better at being myself each day.  I love everything I can do.  I love everything about myself.  I love knowing that my Heavenly Father loves me.  I love knowing my family loves me.  I love knowing that my parents and my friends are always there for me.  I love knowing that God is always there for me and He will love me more than anyone ever can and that He is always there for me, even when I think no one is.

Thanks to everyone I know for being who they are.  For being a friend.  Thank you for knowing what to say.  For being there.
