Middle School


How many of u girls remember middle school?? Oh yes I am sure that is the part about our lives we have longed to forget. But by high school atleast for me I new who I was and all the mean girls did not exist much for me anymore. I have been thinking about how I figured that out. I think it came as I understood I was a daughter of a Heavenly Father that loved me and he gave me gifts and talents that made me special!! I learned that my gifts and talents were great and if I focused on those things it did not matter whether others liked me because I LIKED ME!
Well, we have arrived! My Jessica is knee deep in it, no matter how much I find myself trying to help her as a parent I want to take it away. But those lessons I learned shaped who I am today.. It is those things Heavenly Father knew we needed to learn and he gave us tools and resources to help get us through.
Seth and I are both tag teaming this challenge, seth has great insight. He did have 5 sisters. That should make him an expert right!! He is a great comfort for her and I do my best to just listen, hug and remind her how wonderful she is. Jessica is a bright, creative and talented young lady with a tremendously bright future...she will traverse and lern much over the next few months.
For the Macdonald's:
Another week down and 51 weeks left this year.. This will be A wonderful year! I have the best husband and children EVER!!

  1. I remember those days, they can be really rough. But I agree with you Melinda those experiences really help you to grow. Sounds like you and Seth are a great support and comfort for her. Tell her to hang in there and that she has lots of people who love her and think that she is an amazing person.
