Seasons of Life
I have been thinking a lot about the direction I want to take my life this year. There are so many wonderful things happening!! I will be going back to teaching full time. My kids are growing and maturing into AMAZING individuals! And in June my daughter is going to make me a grandma for the first time! I am SO EXCITED, and it has been so fun to see her begin this new season of her life. That got me thinking about the different seasons we all go through in life, and the gratitude I feel for each of them.

“Succor the weak, lift up the hands which hang down, and strengthen the feeble knees.”

One of the most basic questions that probably every person on this planet will ask themselves at some point in their life is “Why am I here on this Earth?” Some people never figure out the answer in their lifetime, and others make answering it their life’s purpose. I am grateful to have the scriptures to help give me guidance when questions like this come to my mind. There are so many that are centered on this topic, and they have given me a lot of comfort
