An Ode to Mothers'...and other. =]]]

So, this post is majorly dedicated to mothers. I really am looking forward to the day that I become a mother, but like I said in YW today, I have plenty of time before I know that this is going to happen. I have no interest in becoming a mother within the next five years. Everyone was telling me that you never know, but I do know that I'm not ready yet..and I'm not going to become a wife and mother until the day I feel ready.

Got a little off course, but as we sang in Relief Society today, "we learned how to love dear mother from you". Today made me reflect on how much mom's and mothers teach their kids and how much they impact their children and other peoples children's lives. The Bishop also spoke on this and it really made me realize the impact and the sacredness that comes with motherhood. It was testimony to me..that while some people don't understand a mother's role in the church, or a womens, but we have the divine power to control and teach and love children. I am looking forward to developing my skills and learning what children need in order to grow. I know, in theory how parenthood is, but I am so excited for the future and for the skills I'll be able to develop until then! Again, I'm off course here, well, I guess the whole point of this was to say Thank You, to all the mothers or mother figures out that have affect my life, or the people around me's life. Most teenagers feel pretty awkward about Mothers' Day because we don't know where we fit in this equation, yes, we celebrate our mothers', but its just a little awkward..idk. It might be the whole teenager thing. But, this is a Thank you to all Mom's. =]] Or, to be more colloquial, all women who have ever impacted the life of a child, positively. =]

Now that that's off my mind a bit, I just wanted to post about what I'm going to be up to in the next week. I'm taking the Englsih Literature AP Test on Wednesday and am going to be competing in the Speak Up, Speak Out contest, I believe it's at UT..and so I'm not sure if I'll be at mutual..but I hope I don't miss anything. I'm really sad to see so many in our ward moving away, it's like a mass...i don't know the word..but like..migration? to somewhere else. =[[ I know it's important to move on in life and that I'll be getting ready to leave for college next year, but geez..it's all happening so fast. Ack, that makes me not want to leave home..and go to college. I don't know where I'm going to school yet..I need to do research.
Later!
