Trials

                                   

I am so thankful my trials in my life. Lately in the past few months I have gone though some pretty hard times, but those hard times have made me become such a stronger person.
I know that the things that I am facing are because I am choosing to serve a mission and Satan is doing everything he can to try to get me to change my mind. Well for me his temptations are not going to get in my way because I am so close in the gospel, that nothing is going to change how I feel about going on a mission.
Some of the trials that I have faced ,that I did not expect..were the following,
1.Going to the hospital 2 times while being away from home during my first semester of college.
2.Being in the hospital 2 more times when I got home, because i was experiencing some pains in my body that i did not know could hurt me.
3. Experiencing being in my first car accident, and coming out with only chronic bruising through out my body.
I know that I am so blessed, to have the life that I have. I know that Heavenly Father wants me to go on a mission because it is one of my desires that I have had since I was a little girl.
I know that the preparation that I am doing to help me prepare for my mission is making me a lot stronger person from the inside and it is helping me grow in the gospel.
I am so thankful for my calling in the church, I teach the little ones in primary age 3 . They are little angels and have such sweet spirits , I enjoy teaching them. Teaching them is also helping me to grow to understand things more to help me prepare for my mission. I know that my testimony grows each day by learning new things and experiencing different things.
I know that my Heavenly Father hears and answers prayers. I know the scriptures are true, and they help me grow so much . I know that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love me.I know that families can be together forever. I am so thankful for my life and everything&everyone that is in it.
I know that Heavenly Father created this earth. I know that forgivness is a blessing and can be given through repentence. I know that the atonement is real. I am so thankful for all that thou has given to me to help me live my life righteously and become more like Christ each day.
Once again I am so thankful for my trials and my faith in Jesus Christ, because if it wasn't for my faith in the Gospel , I probably would have given up on myself. But i know through Faith in blessings and Prayers that will be able to keep my self esteem and positive attitude/confidence that I have for myself and beable to leave on my mission and stay on the right path :)
All the sister missionaries that got together to celebrate the age change to serve a mission for Women :)
I want to be a missionary now, to teach and preach!
I WILL GO , I WILL DO!

Music heals the soul

Oh it is wonderful that he should care for me enough to die for me...



I Love this video so much! This song is one of my favorite church songs, and I have built my testimony some times upon the words of this song :) Listen closely if you wish.... I know these words are true and they have helped me and my life to stay close to the Gospel and always remember what my Savior did for me .
I know that my Heavenly Father sacrificed his life for my sins. I don't know if I coujld ever sacrifice as much as he did for me, but I do know that throught the atonement of Jesus Christ I can be forgiven of my sins . I do know that his love for me is dear to my heart. My testimony is the foundation of my life, it helps me keep stable to stay righteous and remember to keep the commandments. I know that my testimony is so strong that when I go on a mission I will beable to touch the lives of others and bring them unto Christ:)
I know that I am a Child of a Loving Heavenly Father and that he cares for me as he does all of his children. I know that through prayer and reading my scripures I can communicate with him. I know that I can pray to him anytime and anywhere. He is my Father in Heaven and my best friend. Through Faith in Jesus Christ my testimony grows each day :) I am thankful to be apart of The Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints , it is one of the most important blessings in my life. I am happy to know that if I stay righteous and follow the commandments  then I will return to live with my Heavenly Father again someday. Leave this with you, in the name of Jesus Christ . Amen.
 I know that he blesses all of us each and every single day of our lives and even if it's the small and simple things that mean the most , he does bless us and wants what is best for us each and every day :) I am thankful for everything I have in my life because I know that my Heavenly father created this earth for me and you !

Emotions

        Rollar Coaster of emotions!
It's been awhile....
You know...Everyone has those days with they head full of thoughts and feelings that just feel so overwhelming, yeah well some of those days just have been hitting me a lot lately, coming to an ending knowing that I am going to be serving a mission soon. It's crazy to know how fast time goes by , but most for me it how much I realize my heavenly father answers prayers. Lately things have gone through my mind like no other , and I have been turning to the scriptures and prayer a lot.

I believe that miracles do come, but it takes just a simple faith know that he is there for you and that he is always listening.

It takes time and patience to put together a plan for your self that can help you through a day. I have realized since I have been home from my first semester of college that I have to keep myself busy and try to keep things planned and make time for everything that is needed to be done in one day. For me , when I was up at EA in Thatcher ,I had a schedule for everything and i would write a to-do list for everything and I would get it done . Well since I have been home, it's harder to see the most important things that need to be done.I have not forgotten them and I make sure that I stay awake to say my prayers and read my scriptures and in the mornings I make sure that the first thing I do is roll out of bed and say my prayers and read my scriptures.

When I go through those days that have me in lots of thoughts and emotions i just sit and think about all the things I am thankful for and I pray that I will be able to feel calm and that the Spirit will be with me to comfort me .I have a strong testimony and faith in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, I put the church and the Gospel before anything in my life :)

Having religion in my life is so important to me because it keeps me stable:). The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints is the true church of God.

One of my favorite songs in the hymn book is "I stand all amazed" this song brings me to tears each time I sing it or listen to the words. Because I know that my savior died on the cross for my sins and I know that he lives today and he hears and answers prayers. I know that my Heavenly Father is there for me anytime and anywhere.

I know that my testimony is what I live by and my standards that I live by will never change or lower for anyone because I know that I am a Child of God and that he understands who I am and who I want to be , He wants to help me be the best I can be !

I cannot wait to serve a mission, I can't wait to turn my missioin papers in next month , it means so much to me to serve a mission. I wanted to do it since I was very little. It will be a big step in my life, I will get to grow and learn so much for myself and beable to teach others.

I am so excited to beable to turn in my mission papers so soon! I know that preparing for this mission and doing the things that I need to do to help my testimony stay strong has helped me grow so much in this Gospel! I know this church is true and I would not be who I am today with out it. It is a big part of my life.

I will continue to update my blog , it just has been awhile, been pretty busy.

                                              One of my favorites... to always remember!
