knowledge

Recently I have been blessed with the opportunity to gain knowledge! I feel so blessed that I have gotten here. For years I have been too busy- well taking care of the children sometimes would wear me so thin that any time I would try to read anything ,let alone my scriptures, I would fall asleep! I think my mind was in survival mode, and that is all I could handle! Well, I think now I've had an enlightenment. I can understand things that I never did before! I love getting older-I can see things I never could before! I'm sure I'll love 40 and even 50 although the number itself looks a little daunting. I'll always young in your heart though! So, today I had the opportunity to go to institute! I was and am so excited. I never was able to go to any institute before. A woman in our stake is the teacher, and has been teaching for many years! She is a wealth of knowledge! So this year we are going to be studying Jesus The Christ along with the Old Testament! I am anxiously awaiting each class! My hope is to apply all that I learn and gain a better understanding of my savior and his life, and how I can continue to be more like him. I'm grateful to have this opportunity and I wish all my friends could come to these classes!
