Young Women and License Plates

I have two thoughts today.

The first is for any young women who read my blog, and all of you amazing moms out there with young women. If you are in young womens this is for you, and if your daughter is in young womens this is a message from me to her. Today I went to a ward with the young women for the first time in three months. I know I'm really not at all that much older than they are, but today I felt a lot older. They all seemed so little. Maybe they were. Anyway, the point of my message for the young women out there is that you really do make a difference and that you have the Spirit with you. There is so much love between you. Remember always that you're a daughter of God even though in high school or maybe middle school people don't really seem to notice or care whether you're there. Being in college I've realized that high school is really only important for two things, your classes (I know. They're awful but they help more than you could ever imagine), and that you learn how to handle others. Life doesn't end with high school OR START WITH COLLEGE! Remember that you are ALWAYS loved. Your young women leaders love you, the young women themselves love you, I may not know you but I love you, your parents love you (even if they say you can't do stuff or ground you, seriously that is all because they love you VERY much). You don't know how many people you influence for the better just because you are there. YOU ARE INCREDIBLE!!!

My second thought is that I have never noticed license plates until now. I'm always looking for Oregon license plates and when I see one I smile and if someone's with me, I'll point it out. I have no idea why. Probably because I really miss home. I was talking to Jaelyn (my roommate) today about how I really hope Heavenly Father lets me stay in Oregon because I really do love it. But I guess if Heavenly Father decided to send me somewhere else it would be to make me happier or to give me an experience that will make me better.

So my thought for the day just got longer. I've changed so much I've noticed. I don't argue until I have the last word, I don't need to be liked by everyone, I don't need to be the best at everything. I think the biggest thing I've noticed (and this is sorta weird) but I don't flirt the way I used to. I don't know if that's good or bad but I think it's making my life a lot less complicated. I don't need to be someone I'm not to attract guys and I think that's what I've learned and that's where this flirting thing has changed. I don't know. I guess I'll find out.

So this is my thought for today. Oh hey one more thing is on Nathan's blog one time he was talking about picture for the day. I really like that idea. So I think on my blogs I'm always gonna have a picture.
