Just Thoughts

Wow,  I can't believe that it is 2013 already! It seems like only yesterday was 1990  and I  was graduating from  high school with dreams,  dreams and more dreams. I remember dreaming of going to college, getting married in  the Salt Lake temple to a man worthy  to  take  me there. I  dreamed of having children and raising  them to be strong members of the gospel, I dreamed of being  a stay at home mom who could do everything in  the eyes of her loving, adoring, perfectly behaved children ; ).  Conversely, I dreamed of being the  best  darn child therapist that ever walked   the earth too.

My life has  gone on and 23 years  later  I can say that I am  truly blessed. I  have  achieved,  to  a certain  degree, all of my  dreams. I  may not be a  world renowned child therapist but I can hold my  own in my "office"/bedroom with my wonderful  children. I am married to an amazing man who loves  me and our children and I am extremely grateful to  be  the  mother  of  7 beautiful children who have and are gaining testimonies of the Gospel of  Jesus Christ.  I have  two college degrees too.

So  by  the world's standards  I may not be considered very successful but  who  wants to be  measured  by  the  worlds standards. I  pray  that there  will  be a  day  when I hear the sweet words...Well Done my good and  faithful  servant,  Well Done Teresa.. You  have done all I  sent you to  do.
