There was a talk that President Uchtdorf gave at a young women's conference a few years ago. The title of the talk was titled "Your Happily Ever After" He goes on to talk about trying to find your "Once upon a time,"and ending with "Your happily ever after." Theres a lot of "Once upon a times" in someones life... but is there a lot of "Happily ever afters"? Growing up throughout my teenage years, I referred to this talk almost weekly. Really wondering if someday I will really have my happily ever after, or is that really only found in fairy tales. Theres a quote in the talk that really stood out to me. “Happily ever after” is not something found only in fairy tales. You can have it! It is available for you! But you must follow your Heavenly Father’s map."
I think the hardest thing to do at times is put your faith in God and trust that he REALLY DOES have a plan. That this isn't just something you're told growing up... That if we really understood what that REALLY means, how different of a life I think we would be living. And I can tell you I found my "Once upon a time" with the boy of my dreams. He means everything to me. Since the day we started dating, my life hasn't ever been the same. Every day is so special, and something I cherish. He is my best friend, He's something I like to call my Safe Haven. Who would of thought we would get this far this fast? I was so unsure about everything that came along with dating someone new, but I was at complete peace and happiness moving forward. (I can thank God for that one) But this was/is the best decision I have ever made. To be patient, and follow Gods plan. I couldn't imagine where I would be without God guiding my life... No I do not believe in soul mates, but I do believe that someone, someday, will walk in your life when you're least expecting it and change everything you've ever had. And This is Him. This is the man I am going to spend the rest of forever with, and I can't wait. Theres a million ways to tell someone you love them... I still haven't figured out the best way. Besides the simple words "I love you" Ive started my "One upon a time". And this only happens once...I am loving every second of it. (At some point you will probably be reading this Josh, I want you to know how much I love you... You're the best thing that has ever happened to me, I can't wait for forever.)
Well, its late... its exactly 2:25AM. And my lover boy fell asleep on me anyway. Its time for bed, Im tired, goodnight.
