Humility

Parker J Palmer said, “Humility is the only lens through which great things can be seen and once we have seen them, humility is the only posture possible.” Great men humble themselves before the Lord because they know that only through Him can they be risen above and beyond. He lets us fall so that we will be more willing to let him lift us up. Do not believe that you are better than others, Christ wasn’t proud. He was kind, and allowed others to believe what they wanted. I will never let others opinions shake my faith of what I believe to be true. Be humble when it comes to the callings given unto you. God can see everything that we are. He knows our sins and everything about us. The Lord wants us to be happy and knows that is only possible with Him. He will bring us a Temple, a place to seek refuge from the world when we need it most. He knows that as we mature and grow we will only be better and able to bring forth great things. With His help we will not be able to truly know the world around us. He helps us know what will better us, and what will destroy us. 

He Knows Us

I’m not perfect, and I don’t expect anyone else to be. But we have to take each other as we are and work to make each other better.

I’m so tired of finding boys who are trying so hard to pretend to be men. I’m waiting for a man. That’s definitely what I would like to have.

I am a daughter of a king. He surrounds me and protects e in very way He can. I am His child and He loves me for everything I am, everything I’m not, and everything I will one day become. As long as He is in my life and guiding me—I will never be led astray. He has always known me and has an inspiring journey for me.

For those that decide not to have me be a part of their life or have thrown me out like yesterday’s trash will one day regret it. Because my life will be stunning and my journey will be a story that will be sad, long, but awesome and inspiring. People can either be proud to be part of an inspiring story or the reason for my heart break.

If we were meant to do this alone the Lord would have never put people in our lives to make us better. He also wants us to share the happy times with the people around us, so that we may lift one another into those amazing children of God. The people he puts into our lives are a reminder of how much He loves each of us.  He doesn’t just choose anyone to put in our lives. Have you noticed that? Your best friend was made for you, they understand the things that you are going through. Why? Heavenly Father knows you through and through, so that he can put the very best people into your life. Those people help mold each of us into the person he knows each of us to be. 

Scripture Study

I am just in awe the kind of things that I've been learning while really pondering the scriptures. Reading the scriptures this time is different than any other time. While I'm reading, I'm also writing down my thoughts in my everyday journal. So not only does it help me remember what the Lord wants me to know but it also helps me to write in my journal every day! This is now the fifth journal I have owned a my lifetime. Anyways, here are some of the things I've learned (if you look them up and read the actual verse-you might be surprised!):


1 Nephi 4:6
He will lead us through the darkness. Take a leap of faith and you will end up where you are supposed to be. Don't let fear run your life.


So I really only felt like sharing one, but it has to be my favorite from tonight.
I've been really busy and I'm hoping to take time at least once a week to update my blog!

Because Twins Come in Doubles

This is Hazel's older brother, Samuel. Is he not adorable? I always wondered why people would try to "eat" baby's cheeks...now I know! Don't let that smile fool you! He's such a Momma's Boy and it took forever to get that smile! And then of course, one of the two of them together for good measure!

Baby Hazel

Is she not super cute?!

I Swear! I'm Still Alive!!

I cannot lie and say I haven't been super busy. I've picked up a second job and life's been crazy with the holidays coming! Here's a video clip from tonight's YSA FHE!
