"... they shall bow down to thee with their face towards the earth, and lick up the sut of thy feet... for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me." 1 Nephi 21:23



I need to stop doubting my power. The power that has been given to me. I need to forget who I used to be, the past me. Those things I did are no longer me, they are something that I have no interest in. I am not ashamed of what I believe, however those memories of the "easy" life come back so freely. This is what I was afraid of. This is what everyone was afraid of. The girl I pretended to be. The girl I got so used to playing. No, I know so much more than those people do. I have felt more love and peace than those people let themselves feel. I am past all the pain and drama they put themselves in.

Those memories are no longer my own. When I got off probation, when I was forgiven completely He recognized me as a new person. Completely clean slate and white garments. It is only me that has chosen not to forget. I don't know who that person was and why she did the things she did.

I am a daughter of God. All his promises are my promises. All his blessings are my blessings. All his love is for me. I know who I am and where I am going. I remember.

I believe

I guess I'm getting used to it here...
Not really having any friends.
Having everyone want to do things that I don't want to.
Explaining myself and what I believe on a daily basis.
Feeling constantly judged and completely misunderstood.
Sometimes I really just wish I could run back to safe little Utah.
It's not easy here.



I'm learning what I believe.
I believe in The Church of Later Day Saints
I believe that I am blessed when I don't participate in drinking (alcohol or coffee), smoking, bars/parties, and rated R movies.
I believe in the Book of Mormon.
In going to church every Sunday.
Not buying things on the sabbath.
I believe that paying tithing brings so many blessings to your life.
I believe in the power of prayer.
I know that the work that is done in the temple is sacred.
I believe that families can be together for eternity.
I believe in the Holy Ghost and the sweet comfort and testaments he brings me. 
I believe in missionary work.
I know that going on a mission is my next big step, that I am ment to take.
I believe in Joseph Smith and the wonder restoration he did with the Gospel.
I know that he lived for me, so that I could have the Gospel in my life and for generations.
I believe that Thomas S. Monson is the true Prophet today and that he does receive revelation today.
I believe in the Atonement. That Jesus Christ bled from every poor in Gethsemane and died on the cross for my sins- so that I could return to my Heavenly Father one day.
And I know it's not easy to live what you believe on your sleeve. To stick up for the things you believe, in fear that other people will judge you or think you are wrong. I know because I was probably one of the people who judged. I wish I had known what I know now, and felt the love that I feel now. The change that I have seen in my life and myself, the power that I have been given, there just is no way I could go back to living the life I was living. I know that I am right. I know that the things I am doing are right because the Holy Ghost testifies to me all the time.
I know that I am a daughter of God and that he loves me more than I could ever know. He has a plan for me and I gladly follow him, and receive his help and guidance along the way.
Amen :)

what a wonderful sunday

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY :)

I love Sundays.
Today I was pleasantly surprised when my bishop told me that I could get my temporary temple recommend.
The love and peace I felt as he was filling it out was just like the day I received the answer I need to go on a mission.
I DID IT!!!!
I reached my goal.
It was a lot of hard work and there are times when I forget that I really am capable of living my life like this.
Really the only thing that holds me back most of the time is myself
I have wonderful potential and the things I am going to achieve in my lifetime are far beyond my comprehension with the Lord's help.

I am grateful for my mother and all the patience and wisdom she has been able to share with me. The strong example she has given me that 'trials in your life don't kill you, they only make you stronger', has helped me get through many events in my life. Always having someone on your side, cheering you on, there when for the laughter and the tears, often the only person I can count on, is why I am so grateful for my mother and why I love her unconditionally.
