<-- This is me. My name is Cami. Out of adversity, I have learned a lot of things. Unfortunately, I tend to go back to being the "natural man" and forget what I have learned (Mosiah 3:19). So, today I will share what I have learned, and hopefully it will help me remember and will help others learn what I have learned.
I don't have control over much, but there are a few things that I do have control over.
I have control of where my feet move. I have control over what I wear. And, I have control over how I do my hair. I have control over the makeup that I put on. But, I don't have control over how much acne I have or whether my body will start aching.
I have control over who I talk to, but I don't have control over who will talk to me. I have control of where I go but not over the others that will be there. I have control over what I think of others. I have control over what I say. I have control over what I write down. I also have control over what information I share. I do not, however, have control over what happens to information as soon as I share it. I don't have control of who will be offended by information that I may share, and I don't have control over who will be enlightened by what I share. But, I do have control over whether I share or not.
I have some control of who I am, but not all. "We are daughters of our Heavenly Father who loves us, and we love Him" (Young Women's theme). I don't have control over my Heavenly Father's ability to create or His ability to love. But, I do get to choose if I love Him.
I have some control, but not all. I have control over myself. And even with that control, I need to do some work. I need to work on controlling myself a little (or a lot) better. But, in the end, I have control over myself, but I have no control over others. And, they don't have any control over me.
I am I. You are you.
So, even though it isn't the new year yet, I have a resolution: I will be better.
I will be the best me ever. I will be the best Cami that I can.
Life is meant for learning, but life is also meant for celebrating. Let's all have a learning celebration.
Love,
Cami
