Am I Waldo?

Most the time my blog posts are very random but usually random conversations can lead to important conversations. Growing up I always looked at Waldo books at my grandma's house. Not once did I stop to think, why am I searching for this crazy looking little man? Waldo is as little weird and he is lost or he doesn't know where he is going. I feel like most relate to that (at least me:)). As I drive these are the things that come to my mind...am I Waldo? Do I know my purpose in life and what direction I must head to accomplish what I need to be successful and have a happy life?

Life is hard. Sometimes I wish that there was someone to just pick me up and put me on the right path, because what if I screw it up and my happy future is over! Despite the confusion and anger that comes and goes, I am grateful for my agency. I know that I will make some pretty dumb choices that I wish I could undo but I know I will make some great choices that I am so glad I got to choose and not someone else.

Each persons purpose is crucial to God's plan for us. God loves us each individually and has blessed us with unique talents that will help the earth life and eternal life. I believe that God puts people and options in our life to help us find our purpose. I am thankful for my friends and family that help me realize every day why I am here and how much better I can be. Today I made my friend Braden join me at church not just to get a look at the oh so fun singles ward but to join me in mission prep and sacrament meeting. After church we talked about all our mutual high school friends who influenced us. We talked about how life seems to move so quickly and things will never be quite the same. That made me realize that I really want to enjoy every minute I have and find my purpose and the difference I can make not just in my own life but the lives around me. Shout out:  Mom you're the bomb, Dad you're rad, and all you four sibs you mean more than some ribs. Maybe my life's purpose is to be the next Dr. Seuss.

Cutest Trey's birthday this week. Waldo shirt. Duck kiss.
Please ignore the indian-bindi zit on my forehead, thanks.
