I feel very blessed to have always known that my Heavenly Father knows and loves me. The Plan of Salvation has always been a fact to me, even before I prayed about the gospel I knew it was true. I've always known my family loves me. I've always been comfortable with my physical body. Seeing imperfections, of course, but overall liking myself. I am so grateful that when issues have arisen, I have turned to the scriptures, the prophets and church leaders, to my patriarchal blessing, and ultimately to my Father in Heaven for comfort and guidance. I know I'm not old and don't have a long life to look back upon, but I'm old enough to be grateful for the good choices I've made in my life and for where they've led me. Other choices I've made have taught me areas in my life I need to work on. As Dumbledore said in Harry Potter: "It does not do to dwell on the past...and forget to live." I enjoy where my life has brought me thus far, even with it's challenges and struggles; that's what life's about. I know my Father in Heaven is always there for me, no matter what I'm feeling or going through. I can't even imagine life without the true and restored gospel. How empty it would be. No wonder people feel lost and don't know who they are. I am glad that I know where I came from and where I want to go. My goal: to be with my family for eternity. That's my idea of happiness :)
