"Everything in life happens for a reason. So when something doesn't go the way you would have planned or thought look for the door that is opening in front of you. Always look at life with a positive outlook because the minute you get down on yourself is when you can be deceived the most. live everything to the fullest and have as much fun as you possibly can and always remember your a daughter of god. " -McKinsey Veenker
The Lord has given us a reassuring message of hope: “Fear not, little flock.”41God will wait with “open arms to receive”42those who give away their sins and continue in faith, hope, and charity.
And to all who suffer—to all who feel discouraged, worried, or lonely—I say with love and deep concern for you, never give in.
Never surrender.
Never allow despair to overcome your spirit.
Embrace and rely upon the Hope of Israel, for the love of the Son of God pierces all darkness, softens all sorrow, and gladdens every heart.
Of this I testify and leave you my blessing in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
...Life isn't always easy, you will fell like nothing goes your way at times, but you can always count on out savior being there for you. You will not fully appreciate his loved power until the day when all seems lost, it will be in those moments that you will feel his comfort and love the most if you have stayed close to the principles of the gospel. There are only a few simple things that you need to remember. The Atonement of Jesus Christ is for you and me. The gospel has been restored to the earth. That gospel is revealed through our living prophet. You can receive personal revelation through prayer and study of his word. Families can be together forever thanks to the blessings of the temple. Finally no matter how hard and as perfect as you try to be, you need Jesus Christ to make it. We wish we could do it all by ourselves, but we can't. It is good to strive for independence, but don't ever get so proud to not feel like you can't ask for help...
So often in life we dwell on the bad. We never notice when life is good only when it's bad. When is the last time you've sat there and talked to your friend about the good day you had? But when was the last time when you sat there and pointed out all the negatives? I'm challenging myself for one whole week I can only recall the good that happened. I'm sure bad will happen but I just have to let it go and come up with something good that happened. I'm sure it will be hard but a chapter of my life is ending. High School will soon be over and don't get me wrong i'm so excited graduation could not come fast enough but am I really taking advantage of everything that I could be doing right now? What does being mad, angry, upset do?? It's not accomplishing it's only affecting you. So for the next week negative is not in my vocabulary. Wish me luck! and feel free to join me!!
Everyone the gospel it true! Prayer works! Today in seminary we had a silent lesson it was exactly what I needed. It was on the Atonement AMAZING TOPIC! I wish I could share the whole lesson with you but I really should be getting to bed so for now I have two things for you guys to do first look up theses scriptures. Hebrew's 2:1, 4:16, 10:22. Next i'd like to share with you part of Elder Jeffery R. Hollands talk "An High Priest of Good Things to Come" (if you have time read the entire thing so good) He says "Hold on. Keep trying. God loves you. Things will improve. Christ comes to you in His "more excellent ministry" with future of "better promises." He is your "high priest of good things to come"" I know that nothing happens on accident. I know that times get rough but the gospel is amazing and is always there. Heavenly Father is always there. Please never forget that!! Also if you want bonus blessing watch this mormon messages! it's great!
Life is a test. If it was easy we wouldn't learn anything and it would all be pointless. But some days reality hits and you just wish it would be easy wish it could be like the movies. Unfortunately life is not like the movies people who are never suppose to let you down do and your left to pick up the pieces. I'll admit this weekend has been hard but today in young women's the stake young women's presidency spoke to us. There topic was what they wished they knew when they were our age. The first thing was to know that our heavenly father loves us. I am so grateful for the gospel, there is no way I would be able to make it through difficult times without it. The next thing was trials and tribulations can happen tough days might come but those are not what define us it's our attitude towards the situation. I have never been so grateful for those words in my life. I've been very let down this week just when I thought they had changed I got stabbed in the back and it hurt a lot! I don't know what will happen from here but I know whatever happens will be the plan for me. It will be hard for a while but I can put a smile on my face. As long as my attitude is good everything else will be good. Cause tomorrow is a brand new day and everything'll be alright!
Some days are harder than others. Sometimes we feel like we've reached the end of the rope. But please never give up. I know i've been talking a lot about growing up and about the past. But I would be nothing without what i've been through. I'll admit times have been tough things have not gone my way. I promise you i'm not always the most positive person but I testify to you that if you have faith in Jesus Christ he will help you.
Today is my Amazing cousins birthday. This day has brought back a lot of memories. Defiantly very bittersweet. A once very happy group of friends was broken apart and it was all my fault. I was giving up what I wanted at the moment and not thinking about what matters most. I have been asked multiple times in my life if I could go back and change what I did or what happened would I? I would like to say yes sometimes but I always end up saying no. Let me explain. In life everything that you do affects what eventually happens. Although at the time the outcome seemed to be a nightmare I look back now and see everything good that has come out of it. It's getting through the rough nightmare and waking up and seeing the sun that's the hard part.
I've always been able to tell myself that. I've always been able to get through the rough patch. So why now am I having a hard time listening to myself? I know what happened was for the better. I know so many things that would have never happened but for now it's hard i'm kind of still stuck back in the nightmare. I know that I will get through it but it's hard. For all of you out there struggling with your nightmares know you are not alone. It's okay to be upset. It's okay to admit you made mistakes. But repentance was invented for a reason. Always look for the door that is opening. For me the door has already opened I just need to stop dwelling on the past.
Always remember you are loved.
Sorry for the rambling. I never really have a hard time moving on but this day has just opened my eyes. I feel horrible I know I hurt someone a lot. I hope that they know I am really sorry. It's never going to be the same and it hasn't been that way for a while. I just hope they are happy hasn't hit me this hard till now. I'm sorry.
I hope you all have a lovely day. Make right choices. Enjoy life. And know we all have Mountains to Climb.
