There’s a common saying that goes like this:
“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" (from a Chinese Philosopher, Lao Tzu)
…and a very wise man added to this: “so watch your step"(a talk from Elder Holland).
I find this to be true in my case right now as I embark on
an important journey. I am considering
serving a mission coming this fall, I want to earn a degree, and eventually serve as a wife and mother. These are
my goals. Right now, I work as a nanny for a family in my church on
most weekdays, and then here and there wherever I can fit other cleaning or
babysitting jobs into my schedule.
I am taking three online classes: Old Testament, (see my blog I am working on to post about readings we have once a weekly basis), Environmental Stewardship, and Foundations
Capstone. Each class has its pros and
cons but I like them all and hope it’s going to be a good semester! I’m really excited for my adventures up
ahead, but for now I keep moving forward
ONE. STEP. AT. A. TIME. :)
*This star is actually the monument of sorts that signifies the relative location of the Boston Massacre. I went there this past summer and stood, then paused (there was a lot of commotion), and ultimately marveled at the history of our country. I feel awe-struck at the extreme work that was put into creating a free and blessed nation and I hope to adopt this sort of work ethic as I embark on my personal journey for happiness...my feet always moving toward the one true guiding star, Jesus Christ, my Savior.
