The other day I was writing in my journal and was thinking about when I was younger I had an idea of how my life would be, what kind of mom I would be, where I would live... I thought I had it all planned out. Well, things didn't go exactly as planned- they turned out better.
I didn't plan on serving a mission, but I did. I never thought I would ever travel outside the US, but I did. I didn't think I would return to my mission where I served, but I did and I met the most amazing man who became my husband. I didn't think I would have such a short engagement, but I did. I never thought I would live very far from my family, let alone Canada, but I am. I didn't think I would have a child with physical problems, but I do and I'm so thankful she is doing so good. I didn't think I would have 4 children so close together, but I did. I didn't think I could ever be so blessed, but I am. Heavenly Father had a different plan, then the one I had when I was 20- It was a better one. He knows me and loves me and has blessed my life so much. I have such a wonderful husband and 4 beautiful healthy children. I have the Gospel of Jesus Christ in my life and was raised by loving parents who taught me well. Who could ask for more? On the days that seem a bit gloomy I just have to think of the many blessings in my life, and remind myself of how lucky I am!
