The truth is, I was crazy to even think I could post EVERY single day about something I was thankful for! I don't know what I was thinking.
Here's something I don't normally do, buy my friend Angie over at angieinpink actually says PERFECTLY exactly how I am feeling about my challenge to myself to post everyday about something I'm grateful for. I honestly couldn't have said it better myself!
I guess I'd like to be in a better habit of setting goals, but I think next time I'll have to set one that is attainable. November, December & January are just busy busy months for me, especially with my calling in Young Womens.
Last night was Young Women In Excellence for our young women. Our theme was Treasure Seekers, as our focus this year has been on Seeking good things. It was great! We had some of our girls preform musical numbers for us, one girl made a tex-mex casserole to sample that she learned how to make at home, another girl shared her talents with us by conducting the music. We also had a treasure hunt where the girls had to work together to find all the jewels (clues) that were hidden all throughout the church. We had a few amazingly uplifting speakers & delicious fall desserts including pumpkin bread, Carmel apple dip with Utah apples, mini cheesecakes & mini apple pies with apple cider! It was a wonderful night. It's times like last night when I got home, was tired & it didn't seem to matter. Just having that sense of accomplishment was perfect.
I also realized last night, or this morning that our young women are so much more talented than I realized. Next year our mutual theme is about letting your light shine. It hit me that our girls have light, that they have so much to offer & the way we need to carry out the theme for next year is by boosting their confidence. By giving them opportunities to do good things that will help their light grow stronger. It's there, in all of them we just need to help them polish up their exteriors so they are glowing by this time next year! I'm so excited to see the transformation!!
