All Is Well

This last weekend I had the opportunity to hear the Mormon Tabernacle Choir sing one of my favorite hymns, "Come Come Ye Saints," and as I was sitting there listening I was overwhelmed with gratitude for a line in the song and a lesson I continue to learn. 

"And should we die, before our journey's through? Happy day, all is well."

How incredible were the early saints of the church? To have the faith to understand that regardless of the situation, when you put your trust in the Lord "all is well." 

My eyes welled up with tears (surprised anyone? yeah I didn't thinks so!) and I thought about all the crazy things that have been on my mind lately and everything that was driving me crazy, stressing me out or making me worried. I thought about the whirlwind of a summer that I have had and about everything that is going to be changing in the next six weeks. And I thought about opportunities missed and opportunities taken. And then I thought of that incredible line; all is well.

All IS well! Because my life is full of some pretty amazing people and things.

Sometimes you have incredible people in your life that love you unconditionally.





Sometimes memories come flooding back and all it takes is a sandwich and a old friend to laugh about all the "remember when's" with.

Sometimes frosty runs and DI golfing can completely make your day.

Sometimes you are lucky enough to have the best job in the whole world.



Sometimes you get to see some of your very best friends get married.



Sometimes you get to meet people who you love simply because your little sister loves them.



And sometimes you get blessed with the greatest family in the world.



"HAPPY DAY, ALL IS WELL!"

Because at the end of the day PEOPLE ARE WHAT MATTER and I have some pretty great people in my life.

What Are You Scared of Today?

FACT: The smartest people that I know are the people who read. FACT: I am nowhere near being 'the smartest person' anyone knows. FACT: I am a work in progress. FACT: I can become so much more than I currently am. FACT: I am on a quest to read as much as I can for a whole year. FACT: This is exponentially harder than it sounds. _________________________________________________________________________________ I was scrolling through Facebook last week and I came across an article that caught my attention. Being on a "quest to read more" I clicked on the article and started to read a column written by a young lady regarding mental health, her experience, and what she longs to say to those 'dear friends' around her who are also struggling. It was a great read and I am glad that I took the time to read it, however there is one question that has stuck in the back of my mind: "What are you scared of today?" As I have continu...

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. ...

Tonight I Feel Broken.

Not completely, but a little bit yeah. I am so tired, my eyes are heavy and they burn. I have no desire to do anything at this point. It's cold and my body just sort of hurts. We've gotten snow the last two days and I am not a fan. Last night I got a phone call from my Father. Apparently my parents haven't been talking to each other about some things in my life the way I had hoped. I sat on my floor a sobbed talking to my Dad on the phone. I miss him. Not only is he my Dad, but he's one of my best friends and favorite people to be around. We had a very good talk and it helped me a lot...or so I thought. I then spent the night watching a movie and hanging out with some friends. It was great. I cant explain the love I feel when I am with such wonderful people. I went to bed last night just as confused as I the night before, just as confused as I will tonight. It's hard. My Mom keeps telling me I can do hard things. Today she made me promise that when I doubt myself or...
