Just Talk

He loved us so much that He gave us a way to talk to Him.  Doesn't matter when, where, why or how.  You can pray aloud, to yourself, in your head, in your heart, with your actions, etc.  He is there for you in every way, shape and form.  Just talk.

His Hands


STOP IT!!!


Family for Eternity


Your road


Gettin ready EARLY!!!


Shadow Stress


Out of Order

Some days, its OK to just let go and give yourself a rest. :)  You're not giving up, You're taking a break.

Shoes


The Road of Life

The purpose of life isn't to get back to Him, its to get back to him and bring everyone you can with.

Worried?


**My Awkward Moment**


Love :)


Happy Sunday

John challenged me to read "Preach My Gospel" this week and honestly, I didn't want to, but am so thankful that I did.  Just a thought, "If you want to talk to God, Pray.  If you want Him to talk to you, Read."  Read the scriptures, conference talks, Preach My Gospel, Hymn lyrics, etc.  Put HIM first!!

How Can We Be Happy?


Once a group of 50 people was attending a seminar.
Suddenly the speaker stopped and decided to do a ...group activity. He started giving each one a balloon. Each one was asked to write his/her name on it using a marker pen. Then all the balloons were collected and put in another room.
Now these delegates were let in that room and asked to find the balloon which had their name written, within 5 minutes. Everyone was frantically searching for their name, colliding with each other, pushing around others and there was utter chaos.
At the end of 5 minutes no one could find their own balloon.
Now each one was asked to randomly collect a balloon and give it to the person whose name was written on it.
Within minutes everyone had their own balloon.
The speaker began— exactly this is happening in our lives. Everyone is frantically looking for happiness all around, not knowing where it is.
Our happiness lies in the happiness of other people. Give them their happiness; you will get your own happiness.
And this is the purpose of human life.
Is this not what you are looking for?

Walk with God


I'm taken & I LOVE HIM

Haha oh so funny story!! Today at work, while working on a Top-Off, the gentleman in the car was talking on the phone the whole time. I had to interrupt his phone call just for a moment to inform him about everything I had just done, and after informing him, he asked me how old I was. When I responded, he seemed easily pleased. He put his phone on speaker and told the person that I was legal. He then proceeded to ask me if I would go out on a date with his son...

Never Alone ~ Jesse Bonanno


Sisters

Time
                                Passes...
Life  happens...
Distance  separates...

Children grow
                                up...


Jobs
                                come and go.   Love waxes and
                                wanes.  
Men don't do what
                                they're supposed to do...

Hearts
                                break.   Parents die.  Colleagues
                                forget favors.  Careers end...

BUT...Sisters are
                                there, no matter how much time and how many
                                miles are between you.  A girl friend
                                is  never farther away than needing her
                                can  reach...

When  you have to
                                walk that lonesome valley and you have  to
                                walk it by yourself, the women in your
                                life  will be on the valley's rim, cheering
                                you on,  praying for you, pulling for you,
                                intervening on  your behalf,
and
                                waiting with  open arms at the
                                valley's  end...

Sometimes,  they
                                will even break the rules and walk beside
                                you...or come in and carry you out. 
                                Girlfriends, daughters,  granddaughters...

Daughter-in-laws,
                                sisters, sisters-in-law, mothers,
                                grandmothers,  aunts, nieces, cousins, and
                                extended family, all  bless our life!

The world  wouldn't be the same without women, and neither  would I.   When we began this  adventure called womanhood, we had no idea of  the incredible joys or sorrows that lay  ahead.   Nor did we know how much we  would need each other.  Every day, we need  each other still.

Dear Reader,

Why is this so HARD for people to accept?  And I'm not excluding anyone out, I too have problems accepting that I mean anything of importance.

In Better Hands - Natalie Grant

It's hard to stand on shifting sand
It's hard to shine in the shadows of the night
You can't be free if you don't reach for help
And you can't love if you don't love yourself
But there is hope when my faith runs out
'Cause I'm in better hands now
It's like the sun is shining
When the rain is pouring down
It's like my soul is flying
Though my feet are on the ground
So take this heart of mine, there's no doubt
I'm in better hands now
I am strong, all because of You
I stand in awe of every mountain that You move
For I am changed, yesterday is gone
I am safe from this moment on
And there's no fear when the night comes 'round
I'm in better hands now
It's like the sun is shining
When the rain is pouring down
It's like my soul is flying
Though my feet are on the ground
So take this heart of mine, there's no doubt
I'm in better hands, yeah
It's like the sun is shining
When the rain is pouring down
It's like my soul is flying
Though my feet are on the ground
It's like the world is silent
Though I know it isn't true
It's like the breath of Jesus
Is right here in this room
So take this heart of mine, there's no doubt
I'm in better hands now
I'm in better hands now

I like who I am

I wanna be perfect just like you
But there's only so much
That a girl can do
When I look in the mirror
It makes sense to me
Perfectly
My imperfections are what they are
I guess one of us
Must deal with it

I wanna be perfect, but I'm me
I wanna be flawless, but you see
Every little crack, every chip
Every dent, every little mistake
I wanna be perfect, just like you
But there's only so much that a girl can do
When I look in the mirror
What I see
Makes sense to me, yeah
Perfectly
 
I wanna be perfect, just like you
But there's only so much, that a girl can do
When I look in the mirror
What I see makes sense to me, yeah
Perfectly

"However late you think you are, however many chances you think you've missed, however many mistakes you feel you have made, or talents you think you don't have, or however far from home and family and god you feel you have traveled, I testify that you have not traveled beyond the reach of Divine Love. It is not possible for you to sink lower than the infinite light of Christ's Atonement."

A Teardrop

As I look back on posts written with John in my thoughts, in the words or even on the page, I wonder how I was able to be so strong.  I can't even say his name without my voice cracking, let alone see a picture of him, or hear about him..  How am I supposed to live to see tomorrow if I can't bear to live through today?

How realistic is this?


An Institute Day

Today was supposed to be an Institute Day.  Today was supposed to be the day I got to see John in class again.  Today was supposed to be the day I was wired to see him: getting up early, eating breakfast, looking good for him.  Today was supposed to be the first day of forever: never letting go.  Instead, today's the day I woke up early for school.  Today's the boring first day of school that I was supposed to have last semester.  Today's the day that no matter what I did I thought of John.  Today's the day I remember my first day with him almost exactly word for word, action for action, thought for thought.  Today's the day I almost cried at school.  I think it's safe to say that I miss my Him..  My friend, my brother, my twin, my best friend, my missionary, my inspiration, my saving grace; John.  Maybe none of this makes sense to you, but I miss John and that's all there is to it.
