Be Of Good Cheer, And Have No Fear


"While we have been assigned to take the test of mortality during the most spiritually rigorous and demanding time in the world's history, we have not been left alone. Most of the people who have ever lived in this world have faced their trials with no access to the fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ. But we have that gospel. We have the gift and the power of the Holy Ghost. We have the gift and the power of saving ordinances that bind us to each other and to the Lord. We have the power of the priesthood on the earth and the gift of full access to that power. We have the gift of a prophet, seer, and revelator who holds all the keys of the kingdom. We have the gift of revealed scripture and the power contained in the Word of God. And we have the gift of understanding that the Atonement of Jesus Christ is filled with both redemptive and enabling power. All of which explains why the Lord would encourage us: "Be of good cheer, and do not fear, for I the Lord am with you and will stand by you; and ye shall bear record of me, even Jesus Christ, that I am the Son of the living God, that I was, that I am, and that I am to come" (D&C 68:6)."

If there is one thing that this school year has taught me it would be that through the Atonement of Jesus Christ, my burdens can be made light, and my trials can be overcome. We all have things in our lives that we will struggle with, but by turning our trials over to the Lord, He can make our burdens light. It is easier said than done, and in the middle of trials it is very easy to feel stuck in the dark.


 BUT THERE IS A LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL!


There is light. There is peace. There is hope. 
Our Savior, Jesus Christ.
What a beautiful truth that is!

UPDATE

UPDATE: saying yes is hard, sometimes (a lot of times) I choose sleep over clean hair, and these people make my heart oh so happy! As I continue to give fully to my job and to the people in my life, I continue to learn more and more that these humans give me more than I could ever give them.  And that is completely worth it.

I Sort Of Hate Making Decisions About Life.

Sometimes I have to make decisions about my life. And those decisions are hard and they scare me and I don't know what to do. Sometimes I think I have an answer and then a few days later I am doubting and second guessing everything that I think I  have figured out. It's so not cool. And above all I can't handle that fact that I don't know what I am supposed to do! How do I figure this out? How do I know if I am making the right decision? How? How do I know what it is that I am supposed to do? My life is a tad jumbled and messy right now.

The Top TEN!

Okay so it's actually two different top ten lists but that's fine. Here we go. The top TEN…. Things I have learned this semester… 10. Even when school is hard it can be enjoyable. 9. Drives up the canyon can do a lot of good. 8. Sometimes I struggle with people. 7. People are more understanding if you just go talk to them about what is going on. 6. My brain is capable of more than I ever will understand. 5. Some days you just need to buy a cheesecake. And that's okay. 4. Taking chances=worth the risk. 3. Even though trials may be hard, in the end you will learn something. Keep going. 2. People can be major blessings in your life. 1. I will do absolutely anything for the ones that I love. Even if they don’t realize it. Things I did this semester…..(in no particular order) 10. Went snowboarding TWICE (this probably doesn't seem like a big deal but it actually is). 9. Sparklers up the canyon. 8. Tri-wizard tournament (scrapped my shoulder up pretty bad...
