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!

The Shame Game

     Exactly 450 days ago I got married, the day that everyone says is the happiest day of your life. I was happy, incredibly happy. But happiness is a strange and interesting emotion, it's not like instant gratification or even like the anticipation of a surprise, it's soft and quiet. Happiness comes through the application of true principles in life sometimes the result is so subtle that you will completely miss the happiness if you don't know that it is real and existing right in front of you. Happiness is like a habit and if you stop nourishing it, it will fade and completely disappear, most of the time we don't notice the absence of light and happiness until it is so drastic that it would take a great change of action to restore it.     On January 24th my husband moved out after almost 13 months of marriage. I had always known marriage would be hard and that it took effort and change to make it work, I saw my older siblings in their marriages and I knew w...

Starting somewhere

    I miss writing. I miss the way it sooths my soul, the way it empowers me to look at the details of my life in a positive light. There has been so much going on in my life lately that writing basically got buried in a corner forgotten.      Some of it might be due to the fact that havent felt very positively about my life lately. But I miss the feeling of being in-love with life, I miss feeling alive. Somewhere inside of myself I know that if I want to feel those things again I need to find the courage to pull out the things I love and dust them off. At first it might not be very pretty, like a painter that is out of practice there are bound to be some duds before there are masterpieces.     Here I am making it full circle with a goal that is the very reason I started this blog, I want to start writing everyday. Writing things that I hope can help and inspire others and maybe in the writings of my soul I will be able to refind myself.   ...

Make A Promise

When I was in high school, me and my group of friends used to look for any and every reason to make a wish on something, whether it was the typical shooting star, repeating numbers on a digital clock such as 11:11 or 10:10, the chain clasp on our necklaces slipping to the front, and all sorts of other random things. I think it's something that's easy to pick up on with all the Disney and chic-flic type movies that young girls see growing up. From Pinocchio, to Cinderella, to Freaky Friday, to the classic The Wizard of Oz there are a lot of films that have story lines built on wishes, and wishes coming true. Lets face it we all have wishes deep in our heart, or worn on our sleeves with the rest of our heart. Some of them are hidden so deep we sometimes don't even let ourselves think about them, and some of them shine in our eyes so obviously that anyone with any degree of insight will see them. Everyone has something that their heart aches at least a little ove...
