Lessons Learned

So I was looking at some old pictures on my computer today from all different stages of my life. And I got in a nostalgic mood. I am a deep thinker, and reflect on the past a lot. Looking back at these pictures.. I realized a few things

• God puts people in our lives for specific reasons at specific times that you may not even realize until years later. If he has done that in the past, I can trust he will in the future. 
• Friends sometimes come in and out of our lives, but family is the one constant that will always be there. 
• The gospel is a constant and is the one things that can bring true joy
• I am so blessed. I don't thank Heavenly Father enough for all that he has given me
• My trials that I thought were so big and hard at certain times in my life really weren't a big deal and passed quickly
• I don't remember all of the bad times, looking back I remember the good and all of the lessons I have learned on the way that make me who I am today. 
• Also... I look really awkward in braces. Jr. High was just a really awkward stage.........
• I shot way of my league with boys I went out with in High School. Ha ha ha
• My life is full of awkward moments, and random adventures. I love it.
