It's interesting to me, as i have grown up and lived on my own.. The choices i make and the person i have become. I am so grateful that my mom and dad were amazing examples to me growing up. I am grateful that they attended church regularly and talked to us about our own testimonies and serving others etc..
As i have been living on my own, I have come to realize that i have my own testimony now, and that i love going to church and reading my scriptures.. Its funny, the other day after class all i could think about was.. " i cant wait till i can go to bed tonight, so i can read my scriptures!" Seriously though, thats what i was thinking.
To me now, the Scriptures aren't just something to read, they are so much more and every time i truly read them i feel the spirit and a sense of peace.
I love my parents and i hope they both know how much they have influenced me to become the person i have wanted to become. I know we all have our ups and downs with our parents, but make sure you don't take them for granted. They do the best they can, and they love you more than you will ever know. I Can only hope that when i am a mother and a wife, that i may be a smidge like my mother. I hope that i may teach my own children the same principles and commandments my mom taught me. I also hope that i can be a good example and that i can be close with my children.
My mom is one of a kind.. She is a lot like me, But it just cracks me up. Because she will do things, and i am always like "mom... your weird" She is so loving and always serves others before she thinks about her self... that is if she even thinks about herself. She always makes sure all of us kids are ok, and she will check in with us... saying.. " call your mother, i haven't talked to you in 5 days!" ha ha i love it. What i love though, is when i come into my mom and dads room at night and my mom is kneeling and saying her prayers, it happens more often than not. I can't wait till the day when my kids say " mom... your weird" ha.
I Love my dad, He is one of the most amazing men in my life. I look to him for answers and for guidance.. He is like a guardian angel to me. He has such a love for the gospel and for sharing it. He is definitely right up there with my mom on the weird scale. :) My dad has always made sure that my siblings and i have gotten every single thing we need, he has never failed our family on providing for us, and taking care of us... plus he makes the best tacos!!
Family is number one in life.. Don't ever let anything destroy it, and if it is breaking... fight with all your will and might to hold it together.
I am grateful for my family, especially my parents and all they do for me. I Have a true testimony of the gospel and i know with all my heart the truth of it. If there is anything i love more, its talking about the gospel. I know i am not perfect and i have made mistakes. But i wouldn't change anything in my life.. I am who i am today for each mistake i have made.. I am the megan i have always wanted to become.
Though this journey isn't easy, it is so worth it.
I am so excited for the day when i will be able to get married in the temple, and start my own family.
