LOVE

LOVE is a strong word, but a word with lots of meaning. It's an emotion that we lose ourselves in, something we all wish for one day.. my Mom found this quote on pinterest and sent it to me.. I thought it was perfect! :)

Something that is and WILL always be on my list is being married in the Temple! I want someone who has served a mission, and who loves the lord and will always put the Lord first in all things!

And I am enjoying being on this journey to LOVE!!

XOXO

Day 17: A picture of something that has made a huge impact on your life.

The Gospel is such a huge part of my life! I truly gained my testimony when I was going to EFY, EFY is/was one of the greatest blessings in my life! I still listen to all the EFY cd's when I am getting ready for church on Sunday's. It was such a fun/spiritual time, to be surrounded with SO many other members my age with the same beliefs and standards! EFY is what made me want nothing less than a TEMPLE marriage and I am still working hard to reach that goal, and I will NEVER settle for anything less!!

My Mother My Daughter

I LOVE this song, I am SO happy and blessed to have my Mom in my life, I have said it over and over again that my Mom is one of my best friends, well my Sisters and Sister in laws are also some of my best friends!! I am SO close to all of them, I know I can always count on one of them to be there for me, even if we are so far away from each other!! They are some of the best examples of Mothers I know, and I think because of them I will be a better mother and woman one day!

Best friends!!

XOXO

what heaven sees in you

I LOVE this song, and I think we were all saved to come to this earth at this time!! I have been SO blessed to be born in the gospel and I think because of that I have the responsibility to share and be an example to all of those around me who haven't had the same opportunity!! I have already worn 2 of my white dresses and I can hardly WAIT till I get to wear my 3rd one!!

XOXO

To Be Like Him

I have finally come to the conclusion that I am never going to be perfect, and I know I can ALWAYS try my best!! I was dating this boy once who was always putting me down, I never felt like I was good enough!! With the help of family and friends my eyes were finally open to the things that were going on around me!! This song just sums up how I feel and I think we should all feel, all we need to do when we're feeling down is remember to "just look up" he is always going to be there by your side no matter what!! I am SO thankful for our Savior and this opportunity to come to this earth and try our best "TO BE LIKE HIM!!:

EFY Medley

I just found out that Chase and Paige are signed up for EFY this summer!! EFY is where I truly gained my testimony of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!! The entire week is filled with good, clean, fun gospel lessons and activities! Thursday's everyone gets dressed up in their sunday clothes and the boys and girls split up for the first part of the day. (this is where you learn and practice the song).. later that night there is a fireside for everyone and at the end of it you get to sing the EFY Medley!! My favorite part is when the guys start singing, you can just feel how strong the spirit is!! Then Friday night there is a dance and at the end of the dance all of the counselors go up and sing the theme song of the years EFY, afterwords you get to sing the Medley one more time!! I never made it through the song on Friday night without crying! haha I will always love this song, it still gives me the chills every time I listen to it, I am SO thankful that I was able to go to EFY and I am even more excited to share this with Chase and Paige!!
Love you guys!!

XOXO

We Can Be Together Forever Someday!!

Little Children

I LOVE how in the gospel we can always relate things to being like little children, SO innocent and pure!! I feel like we can also relate a lot or things to Disney movies!! I have always been a fan of Disney and still am, I have never had to worry about what I was going to be watching or listening to if there was ever a Disney movie on!! The song is relating to both and I LOVE that!! I think we all need to try and be more like the little children (lions) in the song!! If we all do the things that we are supposed to be doing and choosing the Right, then "WE CAN BE TOGETHER FOREVER SOMEDAY!!" I am SO excited for TEXAS and going to be with family, and making memories together, it is going to be SO nice to all be together again, we don't know when the next time we will all be together is, but we do know that "We WILL Be Together Forever SOMEDAY!!"

Daughter of a King

Do you wonder if he knows who you are?
Do you wonder if he knows the secret pleadings of your heart
He has numbered every sand of the sea
And he longs for you to know that he believes in you.

Can you feel the quiet power from above
Can you feel his strength surround you when your own is not enough
He has blessed you with his spirit from on high
And he longs for you to know that he believes in you
Oh, be true

Daughter of a king
The father's royalty
Heir to his divinity
He's calling your name
To come and take your place before his throne
He has always known
What he created you to be
A daughter of a king

You hold the promises of all eternity
Rise to claim the noble birth right you were sent here to receive
He has loved you since you lived with him before
Let him lead you to the gifts he has in store for you
Oh, be true


Daughter of a king
The father's royalty
Heir to his divinity
He's calling your name
To come and take your place before his throne
He has always known
What he created you to be
A daughter of a king

Daughter of a king our father's royalty
Heirs to his divinity
He's calling our names
To come and take our place before his throne
He has always known
What he created you to be.....
Daughter of a king.

Young Woman's

Young Woman's is something that I think I might have taken for granted growing up, especially in California!! Looking back now I am SO great full for all of my YW leaders, who taught me SO much about the gospel, about family, and even myself!! I think it is because of the things I learned then, that makes me the Woman I am today!! I want to be an example to all of those around me that haven't found the gospel yet, or to those that have fallen away!! I want to strive to do my best everyday to be the "DAUGHTER OF A KING" that I know I am!!

XOXO

It passes all my understanding

I was sitting on a southbound plane,
I was buried in a magazine
When the man in the next seat over
Wanted to talk to me
He talked about the universe,
He talked about Saturn's rings
He said, "I might be an atheist,
Except for just one thing:

It passes all my understanding
How it all worked out just right
The distance that we live from the sun,
The stars that shine at night
We may prove that it was just an accident
But how did it begin?
It passes all my understanding"

I told him, "You are a scholar;
You know things that I don't know
But I believe a God in heaven
Made everything below
And I know we are his children;
I've known it since I was two
But when it comes to being struck with awe,
I'm just like you

It passes all my understanding,
All the beauty we have here
From the majesty of the canyons
To a tiny baby's ear
And even when I can't believe it,
He still believes in me
It passes all my understanding"

We watched the sun set through the clouds
In a tiny little airplane window
With people sleeping all around
And I thought of how we just expect this world to be
And when the flight attendant passed me by
I threw away my magazine

It passes all my understanding,
Tat the Lord knows both our names
And that He made this world for everyone
That was sitting on that plane
And in spite of all of man's distractions
He offers us His peace

That passes all my understanding

Faith!!

Faith is SO important in the gospel! It amazes me how Joseph Smith went through all he did with such great faith!! And like this song says, it really does "Pass all my Understanding how everything worked out just right!" It's SO amazing that we get to live in the world we do, even though I take it for granted, it is SO nice to have Sundays to reflect and remember why we are here! The gospel is such an important part of my life and I hope that if someone next to me wants to talk I will be able to be there, listen and to teach them more about me and what I BELIEVE in!!

XOXO

Promises I keep Cherie Call

If we share this road for a portion of our way
There's something I should tell you in the light of day
Before this goes too far, before I fall too deep
You need to understand about the promises I keep

Because there's strength I want and there's peace I need
In the words I say, in the things I read
From the clothes I wear to the place I choose to sleep
Everything goes back to these promises I keep

It's not that I don't care for you and want to hold you near
When the hour gets late and I say I have to go
Closer to the truth is that I'm honoring the One
Who loves us both more than we know

So you may think I'm wise, or you may think I'm strange
But my mind's made up and my heart won't change
And when the world falls down you can trust in me
Because I trust Him, and there are promises I keep

I trust in Him, and there are promises I keep

Sunday Traditions

Music has always been something to help me through the tough times!! Maybe it is because I am not a big reader? I think it started when I first went to EFY, I'm not quite sure!! I was always the one to wake up Sunday morning and go straight into turn on a church CD to play whale we were all getting ready!! This is a tradition I still do and I plan on doing in my future home as well!!
This Song is very SPECIAL to me, if ever I am dating someone or if I am in a situation I know I probably should not be in.. this song pops into my head!! I want to be an example and show all those around me about the "PROMISES I KEEP" I know if I do all the things I have been taught and the things the song is telling me then I will be able to one day be married in the TEMPLE to someone who also kept the promises he made!!
