Face it.

Sometimes life just doesn't do what you want it do. You're friends won't talk to you, You can't seem to get along with your family, Schools and Work sucks, And you are doing everything yet you feel so beyond at the end of you're rope. Believe it or not, but it gets better.

It's hard to believe that when you feel so terrible and at the end of the rope that there will be and is some light somewhere. You can't depend on everyone else to make you feel amazing. You have to do it on your own. For me... That's a challenge and it always has been. I accredit nothing to my life. I am doing what I do in hopes that ill find what God wants. This can be an extremely hard concept when you think about it, because the world has you by your toes, and wants you to do everything to be what will make you likeable and popular or the best worker, or student or child. I think I have finally come to grips. I don't care if i'm likeable or the best or the most amazing person ever, because as long as im doing what God wants and doing all I can to make God happy with me, then in my book i'm fine.

Grasping this concept has been hard, but Face it, sometimes you just have to go with what life brings. I mean, what are you going to do? Not deal with it. Just fall on your face and give up? Many people do that but in my mind, giving up is just a way of saying you're wrong God, You don't know what you're doing, obviously you can't see how hard this is for me or you wouldn't do it, you don't know how I feel. No one does. Yet the Savior does, so beyond our comprehension and coming to grips we must remember that God doesn't give you anything or let anything happen you can't handle. If you give up that's you're choice. Because there is a way to get through it. I take that fully right now with what's happening in my life. No matter who is in my life, who cares, or anything. As long as I have my Father in Heaven and Savior my trials are very small.

I heard a quote once that said "Stop telling God how big your storm is and start telling your storm how big your God is."

It's true. God will handle it for you if you will just do what he has asked. You just have to try, and not try so much that you feel overwhelmed. Do ALL you can do. God will help you. He is happy with you and the small things you do that are positive. Even if they seem small. I take this especially if you do something that makes another one of Gods children smile or have a positive happiness. Doesn't seem like much. But I saw this a few weeks ago, where I had a paper swan my friend made me, I gave it to another girl in Sacrament and she smiled and played with it the whole meeting. I know it seems lame, but the Small and Simple things are whats important. And It made me happy and her happy. I have to believe that God saw that. And See's that everyone is trying.

Life is worth it! Just trust you're Father in Heaven.

Things will Work out.

Of course it is........

I just want to start off by saying.. Life is stressful.There is classes to worry about, bills to pay, money to make, food to buy, friends to please and family to deal with. So Can I just say... Thank Goodness for lemons, FHE food and ibuprofen. I also accredit all the reasoning behind this genius plan to God, for without him.. there is nothing good going for anyone.

Today I went out and met with Housing, making preparations on living arrangements for my second year at snow. I still need to go in and recieve my stuff from making the Deans List. For all of those who don't know- I made a 3.54 My First semester of college and 15 credits. Im taking 17 right now, and loving them all, except for math... Some of it I find to be rather easy, but even without the ease and prerequisites i have already taken care of, I hate FACTORING!!! Oh well... My point was made with the teacher and he has given me some extra days to fisnish it up. :) Thank goodness for attending class!

For everyone who doesn't know, I have recieved two job offers for the summer. Both Full time, Both pay for rent and i get income. It's also a blessing that with one job- My food is also taken care of and i can come home and spend Saturday and Sunday with my family and go to church and whatever else I need to do. Just a little detail, the first job offer is at a place call Ready Sales- I would be selling Pest Control- I see the advantages with this job, I get a good pay, Rent, Travel Expenses, but its also in Wisconsin. The other job is at a Scout camp in Payson where I will live 6 days a week and then come home on weekends, I would be doing COPE- Rope and Team work courses. I have yet to finish making my decisions, but I have a pretty good decision. Ready wants me really bad, they want to meet me and take me to dinner. I guess that's the way it goes.

I will keep you guys updated more on what i choose to do and more on what is up in my life now. The only other thing I can add is, I believe I have chosen a major thus far and that is Criminal Justice. I have a few places in mind, and I plan too go to attend either UVU or Weber State after I graduate from Snow. Both have excellent programs. It's been great for all the support and want to thank you all for helping me get up and out the door and into a new exploration of life.

And it was...

So I was sitting a couple weeks ago in church and had a little incident happen that I thought would be a funny blog post. But being myself not having a blog, it occurred to me I should start one! Not sure if anyone will read it, but I think it will be fun to keep people updated and informed over things not only in my life, but things I find interesting at all. So here we go.

Welcome to my Blog!

Perfect place to share my thoughts and cool little things I Find :) So hopefully you will enjoy it and see my posts as a little humurous as well as a little bit worth while and informative!

The last thing I will share here is a quote I recieved from a friend recently-

It goes like this

"When God is your reason to live, You never have a reason to quit."

I thought that was pretty insightful and very helpful for anyone having a rough time or just looking for an enlighting moment.

Anyway I guess this is the end of my first post!

Hope you enjoyed!
