My Compass

But ye are commanded in all things to ask God, who giveth liberally; and that which the Spirit testifies unto you even so I would that ye should do in all holiness of heart, walking uprightly before me, considering the end of your salvation, doing all things with prayer and thanksgiving.....D&C 46:7

Giving myself permission to dream .....

Well it's been sometime and I'm learning so much about myself at the moment. One thing I know for sure at this point in my life is that I have a mission here on earth and it is calling me from beyond the open gate.... I am more willing to listen now than ever before and am ready to say I deserve to dream, to think about my journey so far and to see that I can have a wonderfully fulfilling future. I have always been so ready to sacrifice whatever it takes for family and friends but sadly have not understood or accepted that I need to make the same sacrifices for me. 
We are all divine in nature, but I have to ask myself, do I really believe that Heavenly Father wants me to find my personal plan and have Joy in the journey along the way?
I have a strong testimony of who I am and whose I am, so why have I not yet treated this girl with greater kindness, compassion, acceptance and LOVE....
Today is the day it all changes, those who know me will understand that this is hard for me to say, my family will always always always be taken care of and yet I know that this gift to myself is really a gift to them. I want to leave a legacy of love to them so the time has come to say "Kindness begins with me".
We teach people how to treat us, likewise I have taught myself by my treatment of myself, how much I care about this daughter of Heavenly Father.I have been such a harsh critic, so impatient and have my body to keep on going no matter what. I will stop right now.
How exciting, I already feel a great deal of wonder just thinking about it. I know what I want to study, but there is so much beyond that, so much to think about. I know I would like to write a book, it scares me to say it out loud! What would my family think, do they know who I really am inside this body? Do they believe I can? Do they see the girl inside bursting with love for life?
Thank you to my mum who inspires me, who has shown me how to work hard and hold on. Thank you to my dad who has taught me to stand on my own two feet, to be courageous when faced with my worst fears. Thank you to my Heavenly Father who is teaching me, guiding me and beckoning me to find myself by fulfilling my mission on Earth. 
Here we go...I am Julia Marie...I know you're out there life, just waiting for me ...
