Here Comes The Sun

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right

Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right

Spring is finally here! And yes, it is full of joy and joyness.
It's amazing how a little sunshine can bring a world of happiness.

I am very excited for shorts, capris, bare feet, and... getting a TAN!!!
YAY for spring.
Oh how I love thee!
(and yes, my feet are this happy when they are not wearing shoes(:..)
It's crazy to think that I am almost done with my first year of college.
I feel like I have learned so much about myself and the things I am capable of.

Sometimes I still feel like that little girl in high school and then I think of how much I have learned since then and realize, I have grown up a wee bit.
Life is constantly changing, but rather than fight the change, I am learning to try and embrace it. Change brings with it new exciting experiences and lessons. Just like the scriptures say, there must be opposition in all things. That's the only way we can learn.

All of the beautiful flowers and trees, that are finally starting to bloom, are a wonderful reminder of Heavenly Father's love for me. Steph and I had a fantastic pseudo FHE together last night and it was just what I needed. We first listened to Consider the Lily's by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and then had a lesson that fit in perfectly with the song. Steph used a great talk about becoming spiritually self reliant. I learned that yes, the Lord will guide us through our journey on Earth, but we are given agency to make decisions and a lot of the time, the Lord wants us to make decisions for ourselves. He is not going to let us do something he knows will be bad for us if we are following his teachings and trying to do what's right. I always just want an immediate, lightening bolt answer telling me exactly what to do, but then I would be blindly following instead of actively learning. I know I am a daughter of God and as such, I am able to make wise decisions by using the spiritual resources I have and my own thoughts and feelings. I just have to trust myself and trust in the Lord. Everything will work out in the end if I can do that.


Thank you steph for the great lesson!
