Destination Celestial Kingdom

Can I just have a poster of this? Doesn't this just make you happy? I can almost see the Celestial happiness shining already. (: This makes me think of a really important theme we had back home in Indiana. The Young Women's President in my stake brought this theme to us from her family. It was "Destination Celestial Kingdom". DCK. That's all I want in my life. BYU has only reassured and strengthened that desire that I have. Like President Uchtdorf said,

"You are truly royal spirit daughters of Almighty God. Happily ever after is not something only found in fairytales. You are princesses, destined to become queens. Your own wondrous story has already begun. Your 'once upon a time' is now."

 I want that Celestial glory. I want to live with my Heavenly Father and to live like Him. I found my "To-Be List" that Sister Starnes had us make back at home that goes along with this theme. Sunday, August 14th, 2011 was the day I created this list. I want to work on these values every day. This is what my list reads:

• Christ-like
• True
• Pure
• Virtuous
• Patient
• Inspired
• Hard-working
• Inspiring
• Someone God can rely on
• Charitable
• Honest
• Faithful
• Lovely
• Praiseworthy
• Lighthearted
• Responsible
• Loving
• Service-oriented
• Temple worthy
• Funny
• Forgiving
• Repentant
• Confident
• Meek
• Humble
• Nurturing
• Understanding
• Worthy of my ministering angels
• Satan hates when I get up in the morning
• Strong
• Focused
• Progressive
• Missionary
• Shining
• Always a witness
• Worthy of the highest degree of the Celestial Kingdom

Am I what I want to be?

Am I closer to the Savior today than I was yesterday?

Will I be closer yet tomorrow?

Do I have the courage to change for the better?

I know that the best is yet to come.

And with how amazing my life is right now... I can hardly wait to see what's in store.
