When we get disappointed, press forward

Wherefore ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ having a brightness of hope and a love of God and of all men. 2 Nephi 31:20 👌 ( didn't write the rest of it cause I forgot it... But it's a great verse.)
I think of my days experience kind of like the pioneers trek. 
They had to leave so many of their dead behind without proper burials. :( it makes me so sad to think of their gruesome sacrifices...
 And for me my sacrifice was the natural man. (Oh hey wait!!! I fight that everyday!) 
Yesterday
was especially hard though because after 6 months and 6 days....my boyfriend broke up with me. 


And I need this trial. I need it because I'm weak. As strong as I may seem in my words and actions I'm constantly praying for the lord to give me strength. Because everyday is hard, especially yesterday. 
And I'm probably gonna be a hermit in my house for like a week now because I need to cry, I need to be alone. 

But at the same time I'm alone I won't actually be alone. Because Christ will always find a way in... If I am willing. 


I have this quote in my room that says "Love the Journey!" And I want to punch it in the face every now and then because I don't love every second of this mortal life. They say life's too short and I'm kind of starting to believe it but at the same time it feels so long. But in the long run its what we make of it. 

My goals are to be a hermit for a few days and then:

Survive senior year 

Go to USU if I'm accepted 


Be a freaking Nauvoo Missionary 


Be married in the temple (but who knows, I may never get married. 😬) 

So always know that there is a future. One bad day can't let your future down unless your attitude is gonna make it that way. Be the ray of sunshine for me today. So I can be yours tomorrow. 

Love you all, keep enjoying summer 
-Kenzie

I'm almost there! (Or so I think)

Wow I'm such good blogger! I love reading what I have said in the past. Anyways lets get down to business! Graduation for me is coming up in a short 18 days! I can believe it because it feels like the time is so slow but its actually almost here. Can't wait for what life brings me after I graduate HS.  While being in High School I've learned this lesson: It is okay to not be okay all the time. I've cried way too much in High School and it's been an emotionally journey for me. Hormones are real. And so are girls attitudes.  I guess why I say this is because these past few months have been harder than when I lost my boyfriend, but they have been a lot easier to heal from. My favorite guard director left our team unexpectedly because they were dealing with a ton of crap in their life. I understood why they had to leave, but I was angry that they left without saying goodbye. I miss them so much. But I was able to move on from that trial only because I had faith th...

That's the last time you are telling me something I'm not.

Thanks to Facebook memories today I was able to reflect on my first band camp 6 years ago. Wow what a ride colorguard was. I guess why I start off by talking about my marching band experience is because it is really the only thing I kept up with throughout my high school career. I learned a lot, I got a lot of bruises, swollen bumps, and even a black eye! Crazy to think that people think it's easier to do marching band than football sometimes.  Anyways, as much as I loved competing and being a part of something breathtakingly beautiful... I was bullied in colorguard. Not by the students, but by my first colorguard director. I don't really remember what I did to deserve the disrespect of said director. Maybe I was being rude, sassy, selfish? I was a pretty annoying teenager. Going into my second year with the marching band, there were leadership opportunities for those people who marched at least one season the previous year. My best friend at the time was going to try out for...
