We Thank The O God For a Prophet

Oh how I love General Conference weekend! It is always so refreshing to hear the talks from all of the beloved men that are called from God to lead and guide us in our lives. I know the the sessions aren't officially over yet, but i felt like i should write this now and not wait. Today towards the end of the session, i had begun to notice that the talks given by Steven E. Snow and Jeffery R. Holland, and of course our amazing prophet Thomas S. Monson were all directed to me. I had felt the spirit so strong, and i knew that I should be grateful for hearing their words of comfort to me. I needed to hear what they had to say, questions and concerns which i have had for the past few months had been answered. And guidance had surely been brought into my life. Hollands talk especially helped me. As he went on to say that we are never alone, even when we feel like we are, we are not. I try to remind myself of that, but at times, it can be hard. Even when your surrounded by many people who love you, sometimes you still feel as if you are alone. Thomas S. Monson talked about turning our thoughts away from the troubles of the world, and only focusing on the blessings instead. We will be much happier people. And a positive attitude enables us to meet our challenges and get through it. "Fear not" he said, "be of good cheer, and heaven's blessings await us". Thats when it truly hit me how grateful i am for all that i have. Sometimes I get wrapped up in all my faults and things i could do better in my life, i forget that maybe its ok to just be happy with exactly who i am. So for those of you who tell me of my positive attitude all the time, you should know, it has not always been easy. It used to not come so easy...but i finally had to figure out the hard way that life is only hard when you make it harder. If you let the Lord in, he will lead you, guide you, and bring you blessings and lift the burdens which you bare. I know this because He is who gets me through EVERYTHING! I wouldn't be who I am with out Him. At the end of the first session today, the choir sang "We thank the O God for a prophet". And then they showed pictures of President Monson, oh i love him!! I couldn't hold it in anymore. My eyes started to water and tears of joy began to fall. Why am I sharing this you ask? I don't really know...but I don't bare my testimony very often in public, so when i get the impression to do so, i should probably do it. I am grateful for trials because trials bring me closer to the Lord. They make me humble and vulnerable to the promptings the spirit brings me....I am so grateful for all that i have. I mean that with all my heart. This is the only one true church. And I am so blessed to be apart of it. I was strengethend today and heard things i've been needing to hear for the past few months of getting through something...i'm grateful for the spirit and the comfort it ALWAYS brings! :)

Jumping with Sawyer!

Okay so...the only reason I'm posting this is because its SUCH a cute video of my nephew Sawyer! haha The weather has been so nice these last few days! So, today Sawyer and I went outside and we played on the swings and jumped on the trampoline! He loved it!

Draper Temple Open House

Yesterday I had the opportunity to go see the new Draper, Ut Temple with (Aubrey, Todd, Me, and Brandon) I am so grateful I was able to go. I haven't been to an open house since I was 12, so it's been quite a while. It was cool to get to see every room and know the amazing things that happen there, that one day I will be able to experience that greatness for myself. I loved the Celestial room...it sparkled it was so pretty!! haha And the Bridal room was amzing as well! Oh! and of course the sealing room with the mirrors that show you eternity. I am so blessed

to be apart of this church and have this gospel in my life. I would be SO lost with out it. Today in sunday school we learned about personal revelation. And it is something that has been weighing on my mind for the last little while. I am so grateful to be able to have that in my life. It's hard to recognize sometimes, but I know that as I exercise my faith in Christ he will bless me and teach me to know the right decisions to make, even when they're hard. Well, I just wanted to share with you that I know this gospel is true. I know my Heavenly Father lives and loves me. I know I am beyond blessed each day for all that I have. Thank you all for being apart of my life. I love you.

Never be the same...

Today I had to tell my best friend and the guy I love (Jordon Ray Palmer) goodbye. He is moving back to Blanding (where he is from) to finish up school. I didn't think I was going to be sad about it...but I am. I know eventually things will be okay, but right now, it's just hard. I am going to miss him more than I can say. He has been so amazing! And I have been so blessed to have been able to have him apart of my life for as long he was...well, he still is, he will just be in Blanding...so yeah. haha So many things happened that forced me to grow up and learn while being in this relationship. Things were said that I will never, ever forget. No one has ever meant as much to me as he does. Normally i wouldn't be so open and sharing this on my blog...for the world to read...but the world deserves to hear that he is an amazing person, who would do anything for me. He cares about me so much. And I met him when I had been starting to lose hope in finding anyone...he showed me I could love someone again. And it was such an amazing feeling knowing I could. He means the world and more to me. He has taught me so much! I am so blessed to have him in my life. I know that we are going to stay close friends, and in a couple years see where things are at...I wish he could finish school here so we could be together...but all I can do now is trust in the Lord with all that I have that things will work out the way they're supposed to. :) I know I met him when I did for a reason. We have both helped eachother more then either of us thought. Hopefully I will see him sooner than later. :) He is awesome beyond words! Well, now I get to go to work and try not to think about it...wish me luck. (Never be the Same by RED is why i titled this the way I did, cause I will never be the same after loving him)

NEVER BE THE SAME By: RED
I know you, who are you now?


Look into my eyes if you can't remember

Do you remember? oh!



I can say, I can still find

Your are the only voice my heart can recognize

But I can't hear you now, yeah



I'll never be the same

I'm caught inside the memories

The promises, our yesterdays

When I belonged to you

I just can't walk away

Cause after loving you

I can never be the same



And how can I pretend I never knew you

Like it was all a dream, no!

I know I'll never forget

The way I always felt with you beside me

And how you loved me then, yeah!



I'll never be the same

I'm caught inside the memories

The promises, our yesterdays

when I belonged to you

I just can't walk away

Cause after loving you

I can never be the same



You led me here

but then I watched you disappear

You left this emptiness inside

And I can't turn back time

No, stay

Nothing compares to you

Nothing compares to you

I can't let you go

Can't let you go

I can't let you...



I'll never be the same

Not after loving you,

not after loving you, no



I'll never be the same

I'm caught inside the memories

The promises, our yesterdays

when I belonged to you

I just can't walk away

Cause after loving you

I can never be the same

I can never be the same

I will never be the same



I just can't walk away

No I can't walk away...from you

Oh, oh...

The roads are wrapped around your waist

They lead me place to place

I take trips from hip to hipIn fact,

I've made a career of it

I always thought the left was your strongest side

But when it comes to you, I can't decide

It's only a matter of time

I need the product of your fears

In the form of tears

It's the only way I can survive

It breaks my heart to see you cry

And baby, it's the only way I stay alive

Green eyes, blue skies

Natural disasters when she cries

Green eyes, they're mine

It's only a matter of time.

Oh, oh...

Like the climate

You never know what weather you'll get

No denying you're the habit that I can't quit

It's only a matter of, mine.

I need the product of your fears

In the form of tears

It's the only way I can survive

It breaks my heart to see you cry

And baby, it's the only way I stay alive

Green eyes, blue skies

Natural disasters when she cries

Green eyes, they're mine

It's only a matter of time.

It's only a matter of time.

You're tainted, I'm shaking

I hope you turn around in time

Tide's changing, I'm waiting

You and I are one of a kind

(You're changing)

I've been a both of our fears

Over my sore ears

I still can't pick my favorite place

(don't make me)

The contour of your lips,

They match your continents

And I still love the way that you taste

I need the product of your fears

In the form of tears

It's the only way I can survive

It breaks my heart to see you cry

And baby, it's the only way I stay alive

(stay alive)

Green eyes, blue skies

Natural disasters when she cries

Green eyes, they're mine

It's only a matter of time.

(only a matter of time)

It's only a matter of time.
