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!

There's someone in my life

    A couple weeks ago I went and watched the movie ' A Fault in Our Stars' in the theaters, i cried, not just the sad end of a movie cry. It was an almost hysterical, I'm falling apart, and for some reason this is really hitting home cry. I don't know why. Well at least I didn't at the time, I cried myself to sleep, and I didn't know why. I started crying and just didn't really stop until I feel asleep.     Well not everything remains a mystery, and not everything is apparent immediately, somethings just come when they come. This did, it came, there was no stopping it, it came.     At the end of the movie there is a moment when Hazel Grace is reading a letter from Augustus, something he wrote to her or about her before he died. He tells her that pain is part of life, and that we can't choose pain, he says " You don’t get to choose if you get hurt in this world, but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices. I hope she likes hers. I...

Patience for tomorrow

I had something I wanted to write about for tonight's blog, I had something that I had been contemplating for a while and had finally formulated a way to talk about. However it would end up being a long blog, which I have no problem with, except that I don't feel very well. My thoughts are having a hard time being complete. My brain hurts and I feel like i have been emotionally running in circles, just a tad. And I decided not everything has to be done now, yes sometimes there are some very meaningful things that you would like to see happen that just can't right now. And this is one of those times, it doesn't mean that the future can't bring those things you want to see, it just means that you sometimes have to be okay with waiting for it. I will write about the things I feel the most about. but I am not going to throw something together just cause I need something to post. I have started to learn that you can't throw the most important things to you out there...

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...
