~CHURCH QUOTES~

"Faith is the basis of testimony. Faith underlies loyalty to the Church. Faith represents sacrifice, gladly given in moving forward the work of the Lord."-Gordon B. Hinckley-

"For the Savior’s mandate to share the gospel to become part of who we are, we need to make member missionary work a way of life."- Elder Dallon H. Oaks- 

"Believe in yourself. Believe in your capacity to do great and good and worthwhile things. Believe in the nature within you, the divine nature, that you are in very deed a son or daughter of the living God. There is something of divinity with you, something that stands high and tall and noble. Get above the dirt and the filth of the earth and walk on a higher plane with your heads up, believing in yourselves and in your capacity to act for good in the world and make a difference." --Gordon B. Hinckley--

I so agree:)

"Testimony requires the nurturing by the prayer of faith, the hungering for the word of God in the scriptures, and the obedience to the truth." --President Henry B. Erying--

SERVICE :) “Therefore, let us serve one another with brotherly love, never tiring of the demands upon us, being patient and persevering and generous.”President Bensen--

"It is my prayer and blessing that you will never forget that you are truly precious daughters in God’s kingdom."-Uchdorf- Love him!!!

"The Lord uses a scale very different from the world’s to weigh the worth of a soul." --Uchdorf--

We must be vigilant in a world which has moved so far from that which is spiritual. It is essential that we reject anything that does not conform to our standards, refusing in the process to surrender that which we desire most: eternal life in the kingdom of God. The storms will still beat at our doors from time to time, for they are an inescapable part of our existence in mortality. We, however, will be far better equipped to deal with them, to learn from them, and to overcome them if we have the gospel at our core and the love of the Savior in our hearts. The prophet Isaiah declared, “The work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.”-Thomas S. Monson-

“The most important thing a father can do for his [daughter] is to love [her] mother.”¹ By the way you love her mother, you will teach your daughter about tenderness, loyalty, respect, compassion, and devotion. She will learn from your example what to expect from young men and what qualities to seek in a future spouse. You can show your daughter by the way you love and honor your wife that she should never settle for less. Your example will teach your daughter to value womanhood. You are showing her that she is a daughter of our Heavenly Father, who loves her" -Sister Dalton-

 

"The purpose of our life on earth is to grow, develop, and be strengthened through our own experiences." -Elder Robert D. Hales-

I know that heavenly father watches over each and everyone of us and he blesses every single one of our lives and guides and protects us along our paths, I know he as a plan for all of us :)

Typical Day for Me!

The nice sunrise in the mornings makes me wake up and think *ahhh I have to get up* Well instead I wake up with a big smile on my face and go get the things done that i need to get done before I get going to school , Then I am more awake! I never like waking up in a bad mood because it depends on how my day will go that day! So I smile and head out the door ... :)
  When I get to school I hang out with friends in the morning , before I go to classes and get some work done.... My friends make my day start out great too :) But after I go to class and go through the whole day in all my classes this is what it looks like ......

Feel like I have been in school forever , just get my work done so I can go home :) Well if  I end up with homework , I do it , Then see if I don't have any other plans for the rest of my day , And the first thing that pops into my head everyday , Is going to the temple grounds to walk around  :) It makes me feel so good to be there! If I could go everyday I would,it helps takes things off my mind and relieve stress and thoughts that i don't want to have :) It is so beautiful ....... :)  

This Place is so peaceful, It makes me so happy just even looking at a picture of it! I love going there everyday that i can ! Just taking time to think about how much of a special place it is and how much it means to me ,Is a great feeling in my heart!

After  I Think about the temple or go there, I decide to write in my journal about what my day was like and how it went ! My days are never really perfect but it's always good to write about how they go! I love writing and poetry! I love the way heavenly father  makes days so beautiful and bright, I love the sun that shines down in our souls each day ! I love the beauty of the earth and of the skies , I love everything that god has created ! We and I am so blessed to live on a earth that has so much things to do and choose from :) 

If we didn't have the things we have today , I don't know what life would be life.... It's so amazing knowing that it doesn't take much but of a thought to think about how thankful we are for the things god has blessed us with :) Okay so on to what else my day is like, After i think of the temple when I get home , I take a daily bike ride with my mother or sometimes alone if she is busy! Then I get home and ponder/read my scriptures and smile ! I love being home sometimes and having nothing to do , because if I say I have nothing to do, I text a friend to have someone to talk too then I realize I can be listening to music or something :) My mind always has things built up, I am never just starring off into space with nothing on my mind! I must always be thinking of something, mostly about someone or something that can make me smile! 

As it gets later and the beautiful sun goes down , There is the night sky :) I love the night skies, I love to see the starts, not many times do i see many stars out but when I do I love to think about everything positive in my life and the things I am thankful for :)

My typical days sound boring but if I don't have anything really planned then this is a normal routine :) I kinda love it !! But I also love when I have plans with friends or something, it makes my days a lot funner and sound a lot better but it's ok :) I am still a fun person, I promise I am not boring at all !!
