UPLIFTING ENTRY

Heavenly Father is truly great. I believe in him and I trust in him, despite my hesitations. I love when I feel close to him and can't wait for the day I get to hug him. After having a few great hugs here on earth i cannot possibly fathom his hugs. I know the Book of Mormon is true and I know I will read it and say my prayers every night by the end of this year. I am a daughter of God and nothing can change that (only my perception can distort it). I have power to make myself who I am and avoid temptation. I am stronger than I think I am. I make each day for better or worse. I choose what I eat and what I do with my day. My path towards a more healthy body and healthy self-esteem starts now! I am thankful for these girls I watch. I am thankful everyday for the Holy Ghost's guidance in how to treat these girls. My unconditional love for myself begins now!
