I am Mormon, and I believe in Christ

I am not typically one to write blogs about religion, politics or really anything controversial. I worry about offending people or typing something that will draw to much attention, and sometimes I worry that I will write an opinion that doesn't have any fact to back it up. So I end to keep things to myself, but recently I've been thinking a lot about the concept of "If you don't stand for for something, you will fall for Anything" the thing is I have many things I believe in, but I don't think you can really say you stand for what you believe in when you never speak for what you believe in.
There are a lot of things I believe in and there even more things I hope in. However there are very few things I know for sure. Out of my years of school I can think of less than what I can count on one hand. First that we have a loving heavenly father that created us individually and purposefully with more love than we can comprehend. That Jesus Christ is our brother and savior who died for us, not because he is perfect, but because he loves us. That this universe that we live in was created just as purposefully as me, by no accident. And lastly I know that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the one and only true church, not because every other church is completely wrong, but no other church is complete. I know this church is founded on Christ's love and belief in each and every one of us. We do not asked any man to give up the truth he already has, we invite him to join us and gain more truth.
I believe in truth, and Christ and his Atonement are the greatest truth I've ever known. I am not perfect I know my words are flawed, and I know that I am full of imperfections, but I know this one thing perfectly, I am Mormon, and I believe in Christ!

Judgemental Driving

So this may be a little known fact about me, but I have road rage. It's not really extreme but I have no patience with other drivers and I often catch myself judging other drivers over simple things. Such as what lane of traffic they are in, or which lane they decide to turn into. It's probably not super apparent, but something that if you drove with me often (which no one does by the way) you would probably notice. Tonight was a good example of this problem of mine, there was a car in front of me that turned into a turning lane to a road that in my mind seems to lead no where. As I watched this car I mumbled under my breath something about "Do you even know where you are going, or are you lost? Cause that kind of goes no where important." Than I thought about it for a second and realized, maybe their home is on that road, maybe they are going to visit a loved one. Maybe they are headed to a best friends house, in all of those cases it would be a road to somewhere im...

Warmth and Love

The past few days it has really hit me how much grief and loss affect each of us in our lives. No matter how much those around us seem to have it all together there is a great chance there is something that they are grieving in their life. In September my family almost lost my mom, she has always struggled with kidney stones and due to some oversight she ended up in the ICU with sepsis. For days I waited at home unable to do anything to help feeling almost crippled by the pain and fear that I might lose her. One night I went up and laid on her bed and wound up a music box and cried. I didn't want my younger brothers to see me completely fall apart so I stayed in my parents room until I had nothing left to cry. My mom recovered and was able to return home, but even now 5 months later there are moments I can still see that she is still healing from the experience. I know looking inward on my heart that I sometimes feel flashes of the fear creep back in, and that in my ow...

it's simple

I'm a mess sometimes, actually it's not just me, it's life. Life is messy, it's emotional, and because we go so much by emotion, logic flees the scene. Sometimes that what makes things messy is when we either use our head or our heart, and somehow when I start using both of them life gets a little less messy and a bit more sensical (if that's even a word, it is now, I'm running with it) its the balance of your head and heart that bring things together. I don't really ever listen to me own advice, like ever. I am fantastic at giving great advice, I think I would make a fabulous relationship advisor, however it has completely escaped on how to make my own relationships flourish. However I have gotten very good at something else, breathing (yup that is my secret, the cat is out of the bag) breathing. When nothing else makes ensemble and everything is falling apart, breathing makes a hug difference, we'll it better, without it we would die, so yeah I would ...
