Fairy tales

Honestly, I think I have become addicted to blogging. It's like therapy for me, but a whole bunch cheaper :)
First here's some background info- Kim Martin was my Young Women leader all six years. When I was a beehive, she was a beehive leader. And she moved up with me every year I moved up. Crazy right? She's now one of my best friends; you can think that's weird if ya want too, but it's entirely true. Her daughter is 10 and I adore her. Rylie is almost like mini me in personality and life experiences. She's such a great girl and I know she's much stronger and better than I was at her age.

Tonight I took her out to take some school pictures and when we were back at her house, she showed me these fairy houses she and a friend made. Cute right? Little girls still believe in the magic of fairies and they are believers in fairy tales.
So am I. Well, mainly about the latter part. I firmly believe that each of our lives is a fairytale. It isn't devoid of heartache or misery, but it's about a journey for us to grow and become more than we think we can become. On this journey we find friends and most likely foes, but we can continue on with those we choose too.
There's also an author to our stories. We are the ones who ultimately make the decision, but I know that we have a Heavenly Father who has placed us in our "scenes" for a specific reason. I was born into the Fowler family for a reason.

I have the friends I have for a reason.

 
Lately I have reflected a lot on the choices I made that have gotten me to where I am. When graduating high school, I had a plan set for myself. I never really checked my plan with my Father. I just went on my way thinking I knew what was best, but I was wrong. Everything I had planned isn't going to happen, and I am so grateful for that. In President Dieter F. Uchtdorf's "Happily Ever After" talk he states, "All you have to do is trust your Heavenly Father. Trust Him enough to follow His plan." That's what I did. I left my life in God's hands and He has led me to places I never knew I could go. I trusted Him with what housing to live in at college. That led me to meet Mr. Logan.

I just love this guy a whole bunch

I trusted Him in what major to choose. That has given me more strength in personal trials than I could have ever known. He knows better than I. He can see what's ahead of me and He knows what I've been through. I love that about Him. He pushes you to believe that He knows best. I love my Father and I love the fairytale He is helping me write. I can't wait to see where it takes me :)

Believe in your fairytale.
