Brand NEW attitude

I just celebrated my 26th birthday...in Mormon culture this is OLD. Because I am not married or have at least 2 children. Really?! I am so tired of people telling me that I am denied the precious gift of a family. I am reminded of this every General Conference and sacrament talk!!!!
So, instead of being bitter of not completing this chapter of my life and giving in to those who are telling me what I am lacking in my life. I have decided to be be the bigger person and turn to the Lord for guidance. During this past session of General Conference I took some notes from a talk in the Sunday Session  based off L. Whitney Clayton.
The thought came to me why do I have to wait to be married to start putting my life in order. I have not been an avid Temple attender, scripture reader, or even service provider. So I have decided to read my scriptures everyday, dedicate a time to go to the temple each week, pray on my knees daily, daily exercise, and provide service everyday. I have decided not to be bitter, I have decided to be happy that I am single and can build my relationship tighter than it has ever been with my much needed Father and Daughter time. I am happy, and I don't need others telling me what can make me happier. I love the Lord and right now that is all that matters!!!
Someone once told me, "own your life" and I feel making this decision in my life is the right way to do so, for me.
