Lessons Relearned

It's been kinda interesting lately. You'll learn things at a younger age and then years later things will come to your mind. The Lord teaches us something new everyday.

Something I learned today:
"I don't think I'm ready for this.
That's exactly why you are." - Movie: Narnia: Prince Caspian
You may feel like you're not ready, that's when the Lord knows that you're ready.

Something I just loved today:
"She's charming. In a stubborn, irritating way." - Movie: Spirit

Things I once learned:

What I always wanted to be:
"Sisters, you were not born at this time and place by chance. You are here because this is where the Lord wants you to be...Strong women are needed, women who will stay morally clean when all about them do not, women who will establish homes that are a little bit of heaven and where the family is upheld and little children are cared for and given love and attention by their own mothers, women who will shun pornography--not just older women, but young women too, who will seek personal and social refinement, who will strive to become more cultures, who will respect the authority of the home and the priesthood. As the Church grows, there will be a need for more women who are leaders, for more women everywhere who have the courage to proclaim their testimony of Jesus Christ, women who will pray and study to find out what the Lord requires of them and who will then make right choices and put themselves in the hands of the Lord." - Betty E. Brown

What should be common knowledge:
"When the time for decision comes, the time to prepare has passed." - Unknown

Perfect Love:
"Everyone longs to give of themselves completely to someone, to have a deep, full relationship with another, to be loved thoroughly and exclusively, but God says, 'No! Not until you are satisfied, fulfilled and content with being loved by me alone, with giving yourself totally and unrevolvedly to me; to have an intensely personal and unique relationship with me alone. I love you my child and until you discover that only in me is your satisfaction found, you will not be capable of the perfect human relationship that I have planned for you. You will never be united with another until you are united with me; exclusively of anyone or anything else; exclusive of another's desires or longings. I want you to stop planning and stop wishing. Allow me to bring that person to you. Just keep watching me, expecting the greatest things. Keep listening and learning the things I tell you. Just wait, that's all. Don't be anxious, don't worry, and don't look around at the things you think you want. You just look up to me, or you will miss what I want to show you. when you are ready, I'll surprise you with a love more wonderful than you would have ever dreamed of. You see, until you are ready and until the one I have for you is ready at the same time...until you are both satisfied, exclusively with me and the life I have prepared for you, you will not be able to experience the love that exemplifies your relationship with me. This is perfect love'
"And dear one, I want you to have this wonderful love. I want you to see, in the flesh, a picture of your relationship with me, and enjoy materially and concretely the everlasting union of beauty, perfection, and love that I offer you with myself.
"Please know that I love you utterly. Believe it and be satisfied."
- Unknown

He knows us well enough to know when we're ready for something, even if we feel that we're not. I'm sure that at sometime in anyone's life, they've learned these same lessons. Don't plan on being married before you done with your Bachelors - it won't happen that way. And keep your eyes and ears out. You can learn answers from the least likely of places and people.
It's when we're not expecting anything to happen, that's when the most exciting things seem to happen. Thus turning your life around from what you once thought it was.

So guess what guys?

Good luck!

You're going to need it.
