A Little of This, A Little of That!

Music is heaven sent. I truly believe that. I believe that everyone has their own taste for music, but it can all be beautiful in its own way. I believe that music can be a beautiful escape. And I believe that if you are REALLY lucky you find a song that says exactly what you feel at that moment in time, exactly what you cant say yourself. What a blessing. For me, right now, it is the words of Christina Perri's new album lovestrong. Now of course not every single thing is pertaining to my life from this album but together as a whole it is simply fantastic, and exactly what I wish I could say to the world right now. Especially, the song miles....with phrases like "Proud of me, that’s the only way I want you to be Look at me and love what you see" and "I promise to always come home to you Remind me that I’m older to be brave, smart, sweet, and bolder And don’t give up on what we’re trying to do Don’t count the miles, count the “I love you”s" Absolutely incredible, that is for sure. I am so grateful for this album, and for people who create beautiful music for the rest of us to enjoy, to become to escape through. I recently heard a quote that has quickly become a favorite of mine, about music and it says "After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music." I couldn't have said it any better!:)

On a second train of thought, I am so grateful for the often quiet observers of our lives, that come in and make things a little better when they are not okay. I have a very very good friend back home who seems to know what to say at all the right times, even if it is just "Don't be sorry. Friends are here to talk." You are an incredible person and such an amazing example to me of strength. So this is my thank you, my dear friend, you probably wont even ever read this but I am truly grateful sir.

Touched By The Spirit

My cousin Cade had his Missionary Farewell yesterday and I feel so blessed to have been able to attend. First off, he is amazing. He is one of the funniest people I know and he is smart and a musical genius. He is simply his own person and there are endless characteristics/qualities that he possess that I would love to develop in myself. So I mean it is easy to say that I love the kid to death. But he spoke in sacrament meeting and the spirit that he brought was truly inspiring, and stronger than anything I have felt in a long time. It touched my heart. And I knew that he was called of God to serve, that he is worthy to serve, and that he has a testimony of the gospel and our Savior, Jesus Christ. It was such an incredible experience. When he concluded he played an original arrangement of Be Still My Soul on the piano and again the spirit was overwhelming. That is my favorite hymn, and it brings me so much comfort which I coincidentally really needed at that moment. Reminding ...

The Best Is Yet To Come

I absolutely love this quote! I think I have even talked about it before but ohh well. I am so grateful for my life and the people who are in it! I am grateful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ and for a loving Father in Heaven. I will write more later because I don't have much time before conference starts again, but I cant get over how incredibly blessed I am! The best certainly is yet to come!

16 Things I Learned In 2016

Here it is. I cant believe that it is already New Year's Eve. This year has gone so fast and so slow. It has been happy and hard and different than I ever imagined it would be. This time last year, I was at my parent's house in Texas. So much has changed since I rung in the new year with little brothers and 60 degree weather, and as I have spent the day with just two cute puppies and my thoughts I have been overwhelmed with all that the last year has given me. So here it is, in no particular order...16 things that I learned in 2016. 16. Travel Often. Across the ocean or just a few hours away, take the time to see new places. It is ALWAYS worth it. 15. It's okay to say no. Sometimes, you can only give how much your heart will allow. You must take care of yourself before you can take care of others. I learned this through my job, but it is a lesson that I have needed to apply to my entire life for a very long time. ...
