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...

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 ...

Keeping Memories for Yourself

In my last blog post I talked about enjoying, remembering and relishing the details of your life, this has become more and more real to me through out the summer, because the last year of my life has been one of the greatest blessings I have ever received.     Almost exactly one year ago today I was working in retail in a clothing store called DressBarn, contrary to how it sounds they actually have really cute clothes, and despite everything I did like work there. I also knew there was a lot missing in my life. I had fun coworkers, I had some awesome customers that I loved, but I felt pent up and frustrated a majority of the time.     I have always wanted to be a mother, I am LDS so a huge focus in culture and life is the family. I lived about 125 miles from my family and mostly just saw them over Holidays because I didn't have money for the travel back and forth, and I didn't want my parents to feel like they had to pay for the gas. I wasn't dating anybody or even...
