Sitting In Stats

Sitting in stats. That's what I'm doing right now. And clearly I'm paying tons of attention right now...:) I hate this class. It is so boring and he doesn't teach very well. My friends Lisa and Dan say hi:) haha! But really, this post is about more than a horrible professor in a subject I detest...
Last weekend was General Conference for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. A two day conference where the Leaders of our Church meet and teach us. It is broadcast to countries all across the world, and thousands of people come together to listen to the Prophet's voice. It is incredible. Such a spiritually uplifting experience and twice a year we get to have these conferences. And this last weekend did not disappoint! Like a previous post stated, I had a friend last week do some things that really hurt me. Anyways so I was pretty angry with this person (and honestly, I still kind of am) and I didn't want to go through conference focusing on that anger. So Friday night and Saturday morning I prayed that my mind and heart would be open and soft, and that I would be able to hear what it was that I needed to hear and learn what I needed to learn. I was then overwhelmed with messages of the Atonement of Christ and Forgiveness! The Atonement of Christ is a beautiful gift and I know that my Savior knows exactly what I am feeling right now. That gives me such strength. I need to forgive this person for what they did to me because being mad is not doing anything about the situation. This person probably doesn't even know what they've done, and my anger is only hurting me. Through the Atonement of Christ I can have the faith and courage and strength to forgive, as well as the power and ability be forgiven myself. And although I am not there yet this is what I have been working on this week and will continue to work on until I am there. Besides, this person is important to me and I would hate to not have them in my life just because I cant get over my anger and forgive. What a blessing this gospel is! I cant imagine where I would be without the knowledge I have. We have a loving Heavenly Father who knows each of us personally. He knows what we need, when we need it, and he blesses us daily with tender mercies. I am so grateful that He hears my prayers and answers them, and allows me to grow and become closer to Him. It is truly a beautiful blessing!

Life-Blood of My Soul

I love music. It is everything good and happy and right with the world and at the same time can say even the saddest words with such elegance and grace. It can express my thoughts and emotions in way that I know I never could. It is the life-blood of my soul. It makes me happy. And it goes beyond anything I can explain in plain words...which is kinda the point. For me, country music (among a few other things) makes me feel like I am home, no matter what is going on in my life. It is simply fantastic, in fact two of my favorite quotes come from the movie August Rush. They are... "You know what music is? God's little reminder that there's something else besides us in this universe, a harmonic connection between all living beings, every where, even the stars."  AND  "I believe in music the way some people believe in fairy tales..." And if those two don't say it all then I don't know what will. They are simply perfect in my opinion, and are completel...

I Know I Have Dreams

It's been a while since I have written anything on here. And I know it's been a while. I know that the last few weeks have been crazy, and that that is part of it. But I also know that I have sat down to write here more times than I would care to admit. I know that I have a million thoughts running around in my head. I know that I want to figure out how to let the words out and have them make sense. I know I have all these ideas about what I want to do with my life, what I want to accomplish, and who I want to become, and yet I lack the knowledge of how to get there. I know I have dreams. I know I want to be somebody that people can look up too someday. I know what I love. I know I have to make choices. I know that I ramble. A lot. I know a lot of things. Maybe I will talk about everything. Maybe I will save a post or two for another day. I know that this post is going to be long.  I know that this post may be very varied when it comes to topics. I know that n...
