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.

Don't Put Yourself Through That

It's not always easy deciding to stop loving something that you've loved for so long, that you wanted forever. The first few days you are strong about and then BAM it hits you like a ton of bricks. You immediately start crying and wish that it had worked out and you don't completely understand why it didn't. You get mad and frustrated. You had all these plans made, you had all of these dreams you two were going to put into reality one day. It's hard to give up something that you loved. But deep down you know it's for the best. You've struggled for so long but you have the faith that your Heavenly Father is on your side and He will only do what is best for you. So  Don't Put Yourself through   the heart ache of wishing things were different because that person was put into your life for a reason, you learned a lot from those months you were together and you should be thankful for them. Remember it's not always going to be easy, but w...

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...
