change is quickly approaching

Change is [quickly] coming, very quickly, in fact.

Graduation is exactly one week from today. This is a slightly frightening idea. To be quite honest, I have had senioritis [the extreme desire to leave high school] since junior year. I wasn't quite sure how I would even make it through senior year, but I have to admit, I am so thankful I had this last year of high school. 

I should definitely know by now that Heavenly Father knows exactly what we need. I NEEDED this year. I have made so many friends, my testimony of the gospel has grown so much, and I'm finally beginning to realize how much I really will miss everyone. 

I have the best graduating class, I couldn't ask for a better one, or a better year. 

As frightening as the change can be, the future is bright and exciting. I will start school in the fall at Brigham Young University, and I have a spectacular summer planned until then. 

Trips to Lake Powell, St. George, California, Oregon, and GUATEMALA, as well as countless mission farewells. 103 boys from my graduating class have their mission calls, and more receive their's every week. Guess I'm going to be buying a lot of stamps and stationary ! 

Change is inevitable. 

but change is good. 

The Gospel Gives Light to My Life (:

--- Dear Darling Friend,

Let me explain my title. Trust me, it’s not cryptic.

Let me tell you a bit about myself, first.

My name is Bailey anne,

i love people, especially my family and my friends. 

and people i want to be friends with.(:

[yes, that could be you]
and just life in general.

I am a member of the church of jesus christ of later day saints. [l.d.s. -mormon] and it is what shapes me. 

I just love to share the gospel, 

it is what gives light to my life.

although i may not be going on a mission, because it's not what i am supposed to do [hey, i'm not in charge] i still love to share the gospel. I have many friends, who are currently serving missions, and many more who are waiting to leave for their missions. 

so again, why the title?

writing to all these incredible friends inspired my title. 
It is a huge part of my life as is the gospel. as it is a main focus in my life, it will be a main focus on my blog. 

quote for today? (:

this describes my faith in the gospel so well. the more i learn and especially the more i try, the more i can see God's hand in everything. he loves us, he wants what is best for us, and we simply need to allow him to lead us. (:

thanks for reading(:
