Lucky

I am lucky. So lucky. And today was one of those days where I just looked back and thought to myself: "wow". I am so blessed. I not trying to say I am better than all of you because I am blessed. I am just saying that God must love me because I have had so many blessings in my life. I can't not thank God for my blessings because I have so many of them. 

I can't even write about all the amazing experiences and friends I have had at BYU and just in my life. As I look back as when I started as a freshman in college, I have changed so much. I have had the most amazing people come into my life and help me change to become better. I am so happy I have made friends with everyone I currently know. They inspire me and help me be motivated to become better daily. 

I encourage all of you to think about your blessings in your life. It will bring happiness as you recognize the fact that you are very blessed. Even when you are going through hard times, you can find blessings. The fact that God wants you to become better and is giving you a opportunity to become better is a blessing itself. 

So, I love life. I smile and laugh and I know why. God is in my life. He wants me to be happy. He wants you to be happy. He wants you to succeed in all of your endeavors whether it be academic, spirtual, social and romantic. God wants to help out in whatever way he can. He might throw a curveball, but he has good intentions. You may not recognize it in the moment. 

I wish everyone could feel my happiness. I wish everyone would know that God loves them. I wish I could just share my joy and say "you can be happy and not have to carry guilt". 

I am lucky. You are lucky. We can feel lucky and loved if we involve God in our life. 

Sorry, my last posts have been spiritual. I want to be preachy at all. I just feel so much closer to God lately and want to share my joy with others!

Intangible Things

Last night I was thinking about how Disney calls merchandise "tangible memories". I thought it was stupid how they changed the name, but then It made me think about the tangible and intangible things in our lives. There are so many tangible things that we give value to. That one Steve Madden purse I fell in love with has a lot of value to me. Why? Because it is pretty. :) My cell phone has value to me because that is how I keep in contact with my friends and family. I could go on and on about the tangible things I love to have, but the point of this blog is to talk about the intangible things we have.  I think that the value of the intangible things in our lives is much greater than the tangible. The intangible include: love, memories, pain, and joy. These things are hard to measure; we can't hold them in our hand. We can't say I have two ounces of love and one inch of pain. There is no measurement for love. I remember when I was younger reading the book about how m...

Learning to Let Go

Yes, that is my lesson that I have been learning the last couple of months. Update on my life: I postponed my mission. I feel really good about my decision. I was planning on leaving to the MTC on July 31st. The best way to explain my decision is that life changes and curve balls are thrown at you. It was a very confusing time of my life as I was deciding whether or not to postpone my mission, but I made sure that I was making the right decision. I want to go back to school and continue my "career" or pathway to a career. I want to be a social worker and feel like I can serve God with my career. So, I am staying home. I have a testimony of the church and I respect all the missionaires serving right now. If I was 19, I would have a different outlook as a missionary. At this time, I feel like I should be spending my time in other areas of my life. And it is important to realize that sisters are not commanded to serve a full time mission. Member missionary work is important ...

Recent Changes

So, I haven't written in here for a long time. I thought I might write about recent events in my life. My winter break was fantastic and really long. I am not used to having a month long break so I didn't know what to do with myself. The first part of my break, right after finals, I spent way too much time watching Netflix. I would just lay there in my pajamas and enjoy doing nothing. When you are really busy, it is nice to do nothing at some point. After getting bored of doing nothing, my brother came home for Christmas time. We had lots of family time just talking, playing games and catching up. I experienced one of the most beautiful days in San Francisco. We went hiking in Marine County and looked over all the bay. It was absolutely stunning and brought a lot of new perspective. I love being outdoors because the perspective from nature reminds me of God's love for us. I had a friend from BYU visit for New Years Eve week. I have told her all about my hometown and ...
