Gratitude for Knowledge

I just want to take a minute to express my gratitude for knowledge. I am not taking about the knowledge I received in high school or college. The knowledge I am most grateful for is that gained from time spent on my knees talking to my Father in Heaven. Knowledge gained as I searched His holy teachings or listened to His modern prophet.

I now know the meaning of life. I know why I am here on this earth and that this life has a grand purpose. l know that in spite of the many mistakes that I have made, there is a way for me to overcome them. Because I know that my Father in Heaven loves me. I know that He prepared a great plan for me to be able to return to His presence. He loved me so He sent His son to rescue me and oh how grateful I am for the knowledge that Jesus Christ has the power to save me from the many mistakes I have made.

I have purpose in my life because of this knowledge. It makes me want to be a better person. It makes me want to reach out and help others in gratitude for the help I have received. I am so grateful to God that He is a part of my daily life. I love Him!!!

Bekah is the 5th of 7 children. She has four older brothers, one sister, and one younger brother.

Bekah is spunky, fun, and beautiful!

Swimming With Janice

This is a picture of me with my sister Janice Litteral the last time she came to visit me. She is one of the most kind hearted, loving, hard working, loyal, and funniest people that I know. She works as a nurse and I have often thought how I wish she could be our nurse for the bazillian amount of times that we have needed one. Unfortunately, life's circumstances have kept us from seeing each other very often, but I want her to know that I love her and miss her so much.
