Light and Excellence

Happy Sunday my friends! May we take time to remember this holy day ALL DAY instead of part of the day as I have been doing this morning 😬😬😬 As I was looking up the definition of insignificance it occurred to me that I'm getting closer to adulthood... We all are and it is the scariest feeling in the world! I'm always asked if I'm a sophomore or a junior because I look younger than I actually am (thank you very much!) but as a junior the responsibilities are endless! They expect you to know and do things right the first time! (Well that's how I think it is.) In all of this chaos, I forget to look to God thinking I can do it alone. But then I remember... Oh my gosh, I can't do it alone! I'm a small speck of dust compared to God and his universe!!! Yet, in his eyes we are precious and his masterpieces! Why? Because this was his plan. We are right smack in the middle of his plan of happiness as you read this! So that means the opposite of insignificance, right!? ...

"We are daughters of our Heavenly Father who LOVES US." Love is a strong word.  I've had my doubts of his love for me many times because every day is a battle. I always wonder who's watching over me whenever I'm alone and feel like there's no one to talk to. But whenever I feel that doubt I know it is satan! I've been able to recognize him because he brings doubt and fear. Heavenly Father brings faith, peace, and comfort.  "Yea, and how is it that ye have forgotten that the Lord is able to do all things according to his will, for the children of men, if it so be that they exercise faith in him? Wherefore, let us be faithful to him." 1 Nephi 7:12   My brothers and sisters, may we doubt our doubts before we doubt our faith! Through his son we can overcome fear because of the atonement!  I had a ton of doubt that I wouldn't finish my personal progress before my 16th birthday. But inside of me, I had faith I would.  I'm so grateful for that f...

Just gonna make a cute birthday post here for one of my best friends... AUTUMN! She happily made her debut into this world on January 5th, 2000 and I believe she was one of the greatest gifts Heavenly Father could give this earth besides the prophets of old and Joseph smith and Christ.  She is always smiling (unless you play with her hair), always will finding a way to cheer you up when your sad and she will!!! She will just come over to my house sometimes and when she leaves I'm grateful that she came because it's just what I needed, her friendship! She loves home and family and is a strong young woman who will be an extraordinary mother.  Best thing about her: her laught and her talkativeness. She reminds me of the book I'm reading by Al Fox Carraway. She's so open and talkative and most of all, Mormon! Autumn believes this church is so true. She lives it everyday. I'm so proud of the young woman she is becoming.  She is my rock when I am a falling tree branch. I ...

Happy New Year friends! I decided I didn't wanna make resolution goals this year because everyone does that and I like to be different. So all I'm going to do is try to improve, and be better now than I was a few seconds ago, etc.Sometimes taking little things one step at a time is what we need to do.  I'm not gonna lie, I am so fast paced. When it comes to doing things, I rarely slow down and take time to think about the little things that make the big things so important! When I do I am blessed!  Last year I was skipping so many days for scripture reading, not because I dont like the Old Testament but because I felt like I had "so little time" to do it. Problem is, reading those scriptures is a huge step for me to become a missionary, teach my present/future family, and most of all constantly feed my spirit. Our spirits are starving without the knowledge of the scriptures!!! ( Yes 🍕🌮🍦🍪🍩🧀 are pleasing to my PHYSICAL well being but not spiritually. 😊) Encou...
