In just under a month, I will have reached the two year anniversary of my baptism. Coming up on this mark, I can't help but be grateful for the past two years. In two years, everything has changed. Sure, I've still endured trials. I've still experienced pain and heartache. But the good has significantly outweighed the bad. Standing at my two year mark, I'm looking to the future with great anticipation and excitement.
Because of the life changing decision I made when I was eighteen years old, I have so many opportunities that were never an option to me before. In just a few months, I will have the opportunity to go through the temple to receive my endowments, and then to be sealed to my best friend for time and all eternity. Because I decided to be baptized, I now have the opportunity to have a family that lasts. Not just for this lifetime, but for forever. And that means the world to me.
I know that what the future has in store for me won't be easy. But I don't think our time here on earth was ever meant to be easy. And even though it won't be easy, I know that with this gospel in my life and Heavenly Father by my side, everything will be so much better than just okay. I love Heavenly Father so much. I'm so grateful for all that He has done for me and all that I know He has in store for me.
