The Family is Ordained of God

Over the past week in Family Relations class we have been learning about family systems. It has made me think a lot about how there are so many families that do not consist of a father, a mother, and children. This design is ordained of God. I know this to be true. Satan is a very smart guy, and he has figured out that if he can break up families, he can also oftentimes destroy the joy of the gospel within individuals. How tragic this is! I have made a commitment with myself, with my Heavenly Father, and although I don't know who he is yet, with my eternal companion, that I will fulfill my divine role and be a wife and mother. I will have a covenant marriage in the temple and I will dedicate my time to raising children in righteousness. I know that there is no more important work that I can do on this earth. And I know that my Heavenly Father will help me to accomplish this. :)

Here is a picture of my family and me (with blonde hair).
