Spring thoughts

March already here...where does the time go? It seems like just yesterday it was January and it was snowing. Now it has melted but it is still a little cold. The weather seems to be just like our lives....ever changing as we reach for something better. I began this year still in touch with my former husband and then he moved away. At first I wasn't sure how I felt with him moving away, but now I see it as a really good thing.
Last week I received some wise counsel from my home teachers. One of them asked me if I knew where my former husband was and how he was doing. I knew where he had moved to and how he was. So my home teacher said that I needed to let him go. Once I thought about it, I knew he was right. Charles, my former husband, has moved on in his life and now I must do the same. To let him go I am replacing the pictures that I had up from our wedding and putting pictures of my family in their place. These are the pictures I am adding to my wall:





This is a picture of me sitting on my Grandpa Wood's lap. My whole life I loved sitting on his lap. I love this picture of us together because it will be the one that I will have on my wall to remember him by.





this is a picture of my grandparents together. They are both watching over me as they have both gone home to God. I miss them both and they deserve a place to be seen in my home.

This month I have begun to pack some things in my home in preparation for moving and going off to school again. I have some major decisions to make this year and I am happy about the changes. A part of life is for us to move on and let go of things. It may not be easy but it is worth it to follow after God and live the life he wants us to live. My grandparents, and parents are examples to me and that is why I will have pictures of all of them on my wall. I love them and know that they live how God wants us to live.
