Don't Look Around, Look Up

*preface: I started writing this blog earlier this month
----------
What a crazy, humbling week it has been.
I've learned so much more about myself this week.
This week I have been looking forward to the #LDSgenconf
I've needed this refresher because of some personal things that I
have gone through recently.
----------
This past #generalconference I have been drawn to a talk
by an Area Seventy named Elder Yoon Hwan Choi.
I'm not exactly sure of the name of his talk but
the quote that he quoted in it "Don't Look Around, Look Up" 
really struck a spiritual cord with me.

I will be the first to admit that I'm not always
the best person to look up.
I'm constantly worrying about my image
and what people are thinking about me.
I know that I shouldn't and there are more days now,
where I don't think about it but some days just creep in where
I do worry.
It's important to realize we should never worry about how the world
see's us.

I don't want to seem all selfish but I believe that Elder Choi's talk
was especially for me.

It's important to realize that the only person we should
be worrying about judging you is our loving Heavenly Father.
He is there to support us and love us.
He wants us to do well in this life so that we can return
and live with him in our next life.
I know that if you trust in Him and live as He says we should
live we can return to Him.

Life isn't always going to be roses
but if we remember to Look Up then
we have to start believing that things
will get better.

Spring Break 2016

This year I was FINALLY able to go on a spring break trip with my family, which was much needed. You see usually my school schedule and work schedule never coincide with when my family is taking their annual trip to the lovely KW but this year it did! I was so excited to be able to go this trip! This year (and every other year) we traveled to Key West, Florida and OMG it was amazing! Even though it was a long(er) trip it was well worth it! There is so much to do there, even if the place itself is only 3 miles wide. My favorite thing to do is the Conch Train ride, its a little train/trolley ride that takes you around KW and tells you historical facts about the place, (maybe I love it a little too much because I am a history guru). But in all seriousness it is nice to actually get away from the demands of life and enjoy time with family and it doesn't hurt that it was in such a beautiful place surrounded by the ocean. On our way to Key West and on our way back home, we stopped at...

2016: A Year of Learning and Thankfulness

2016. This year has definitely been a year of learning. Learning who I am and who I'm suppose to become. I've learned this year that I can do anything that I set my mind to do and that I just need possible.  I'm not who I was a year ago and I've learned to be okay with that. I'm coming to terms with the fact that I'm a totally different person than I was even two years ago. I've learned that life goes on. And I've learned that things don't always go as planned. I've learned that things happen for a reason and that things happen in Heavenly Father's time, not ours. I've learned that our plans don't always go accordingly and to be grateful for every moment because we won't be able to get those moments back. This year I've also learned to be thankful. Thankful for my family, who support me, in every decision I make. Thankful for my warm home on winter nights and a cool home on those warm July days. I'm th...

Top [Ten] favorite quotes!

Today I am going to talk about my top 10 favorite quotes and why I love them. I think that inspirational quotes are my favorite type of quotes just because as I have gotten older I've learned to rely on them and they help me get through some of the dark times in my life. 1. "Those who move forward with a happy spirit will find that things work out"  -Gordon B. Hinckley I love this quote because I honestly believe in it. I grew up listening to this man talk in conferences and I absolutely love reading his talks. It's so amazing that when I read or listen to his talks how much I feel as though he is talking specifically to me. 2. "You have not failed until you quit trying" -Gordon B. Hinckley See, I told you I love this man. I absolutely love this quote because it is true, I believe that if you keep on trying at something you have won in some regards. 3.  "If you are a little better than you were yesterday, then that is enough" -David A....
