Once Upon A Time...

Once Upon A Time...I had a dear friend. This friend was funny and great to be around and we got along swimmingly. And Once Upon A Time I thought that friend had all their ducks in a row. I thought that they knew (the way it seems everyone else that I know does) what they were doing with their lives. I thought they had a plan. I thought I was the only person who had no clue. I thought wrong. Once Upon A Time I had a good chat with this friend of mine. We talked about their future and my future and how we're stuck. Once Upon A Time I am very grateful for the tender mercies my Father in Heaven gives me each and every day, and for the people who He uses to remind me that everything will be okay, and that I am not the only one who doesn't know what I want my future to look like. Once Upon A Time...I still think about my future and get headaches and cringe because it's fuzzy and I have no clue what I want it to look like, but it's okay...because every day I get closer to where I should be. Every day I get closer to figuring things out. And as long as I am living my life righteously, I am doing okay for now.

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. ...
