Anything Can Happen

So, I have learned this principle in my life that when you have faith, anything can happen. This is a song that I like because it represents the power that attitude has in your capabilities. I believe there are genetic boundaries, but faith makes the impossible possible. Faith makes the fearful into the confident an the weak into the strong. Faith can move mountains. Faith can calm the seas.

One of my new years resolutions was to strengthen my faith and reduce my fear. Now that I have decided to go on a mission, I have accomplished this goal. I am not 100% faithful all of the time. I have strengthened my testimony though that anything can happen through Christ. Living in a Christ centered life presents lots of opportunities. With my attitude switch, I have found more opportunities to serve, love, laugh and smile. There are so many wonderful things in the world. Are your eyes open to all the beautiful things in the world? Do you focus more on the fearful events in your future or focus on the opportunities that are yet to come your way?

Some say that faith is being niave. For example, a unemployed individual may have faith that they have a job. Instead of looking at their unemployment, they will focus on the opportunities to interview at several job locations and develop various skills. People may say that they are being blind to the fact that the unemployment rate is high and that they are naive. I don't think that faith is naive. Having faith is believing that everything will work out even when the future is uncertain. You can't see what is ahead of you but you are moving forward believing that things will work out. It is being optimistic when things look dark.

I think the most important lesson that I have learned is that faith is incredible. Like I have already said, it is a belief and action. When you apply faith in your life, miracles will happen. Things will work out. They may not work out like you want them to, but they will work out like they need to.

I just love the gospel  because my fear transforms into faith. As I look towards my future, it is no longer bleak. If I can change my attitude towards the future, then anything can happen. So, be happy because anything can happen.

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 ...
