People

So the other day I was really just pondering. It was a gorgeous day outside and I couldn't help but reflect back on my life and the many people in it. I thought about all the people that have come and gone, and the many people who have come and will probably never leave, and the people who are of influence at the present time. It's weird to think about how many people there are out there in the world at any given time and how the Lord really does find those few people that know exactly what you need and know exactly what to say at very specific times in your life. I thought about my YW's president when I was younger and SUPER shy! How I probably wouldn't be the outgoing person I am today if she hadn't helped to open me up and be the one that made me feel confident in myself to be the first to bring me out of my shell. It doesn't matter if I am the one that is influencing them or they are influencing me, things just seem to work out perfectly. I am so grateful for all of those people. I am even more grateful for the friends He has given me and blessed me with for the rest of my life. How we are all friends continues to puzzle me, but hey I don't think I could ever have made it without them. The thing that leaves me waiting in anticipation is the fact that there is still more to come. There are amazing people out there right now, that I haven't even met yet who will help me through future rough times and who will be a huge influence on my life. I am super excited to meet them and be able to look back on today and think WOW! I could never have imagined my life without them. I am still thinking that the best is yet to come......

Thanks Katy!! I needed to read your blog tonight. I was a little down, and your post helped me feel a little more hopeful - it made me think on the bright things a little more. Danke!

When I was at BYU-I one of my professors had us write "credits" for our life and list all of the people who contributed. You're post totally reminded me of that. Thanks. I super love that you are in my life, but I can't ever think of you being shy!
