The new year brings a change in the lives of everyone, but mostly it means we write a three at the end of the year instead of a two. The parties of the eve echo into the morning hours, then the resolutions begin.
This year I will do better at this, or this year I will become . . . Those are all very important, but I find that my year goals are lost amidst the movement of time.
So, how can I change that? I think this year I will focus on planning. Sister Richards is a very good planner. I on the other hand have much to do.
When it comes to goals I have found that there are three different steps that need to happen to make it happen!
1. I need to tell people what it is.
2. I need to plan (yes there is that word again)
3. I need to be diligent in carrying out that plan
Preach My Gospel is a wonderful book that anyone who is alive should read. :)
It has a section all about time management with the idea that we need to be balanced, in that section there is a part about setting goals.
So, here is my goal: I want to run a 5k on July 4th. Now I have told all of you (feel free to give me support/hold me accountable)
My plan is to jog every morning with my wonderful companion (who is Sister Richards right now) except on Sundays of course.
Finally, I will need to carry that plan out, I can't let things stop me!!
I have many other goals, but the main thing that I am working at right now is to balance, I feel like I am stronger spiritually and mentally than I am physically and I know that when I am off balance in any of these areas I struggle and that is something that can happen to anyone.
I pray that this is a year that I will be able to use to come closer to my Savior Jesus Christ because He is the most balanced person that has ever lived and if I am working/playing (I like the sound of playing better than working. . .) to be more like Him I know that I will never be going the wrong way.
I am so excited for the future to come! May the Lord bless ya'll and keep ya'll!
In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
-Sister Sheffer (companion to the great Sister Richards)

How can I find peace and happiness in a troubled world?
Hi. I'm Meg. I'm a semi-attractive young lady; maybe you know me, maybe you don't...either way, there's something really special about that. You'll never guess what it is, so I'll just tell you:
I'm................YOUR..................Sister!
And you are my brother or sister! Yes, you. Isn't that just wonderful?
Well, since we are indeed family, there's some things you should know about me...I LOVE llamas! And the color purple. Mowing the lawn brings so much joy to my soul. My favorite foods are corn and steak. I absolutely love playing tennis and dancing crazy-like to anything oldies.
But the most important thing you should know about me is that I LOVE JESUS CHRIST. My dear brothers and sisters: I testify that Jesus Christ is the Savior and Redeemer of all mankind. He died for you and He died for me. Because our merciful, loving Heavenly Father allowed this to happen, you and I have the potential to return to live with Him! We have the opportunity to repent and be forgiven of our sins.
We all make mistakes, which create feelings of guilt and sadness, but through Christ--we can be fully healed! This process is beautiful and no matter what you are going through, I know the Gospel of Jesus Christ can help you. The gospel can help you to improve the quality of your life, and help you feel the love your Heavenly Father has for you.
I haven't always believed what I now believe, but the understanding I've received has come over time-through scripture study, prayer, attending church, and living the commandments.
I testify to you that this is the most important path you will ever walk. It's the path which leads to eternal life. And there is only one way--in and through our Savior, Jesus Christ.
Please feel free to ask me questions as they come into your mind. And please contact me if you would like me to teach you personally online.
