Believe in Him

Emily over here beat my sorry bum to it. But her thoughts inspired me to share my own. If you haven't made friends and formed a close relationship with Jesus Christ, i struggle to believe how you still sit here this day able to read these words (this font is rather annoying, i think my next step will be to change it) without sobs breaking forth from your mouth and tears spilling over your eyes. I know that would be my present state were it not for his constant companionship and atonement. Life is meaningless without my big brother, and you can't fathom how amazing it is to know that regardless of what i do, he is there to compensate for my MIND-BOGGLING incompetence. He and my Heavenly Father, combined with the comfort and direction from the spirit are the only reason i haven't had the mind to blindly walk straight off a thousand foot cliff. He loves me, and I love him. He will be, forever, my Savior, my Lord, my Redeemer, My everything.

The Fourth Was Obviously Better Than The Fifth

Seriously, my day was more awesome than this

Seriously. I've got the blisters and the giddiness of a cougar who's just landed herself with a date with a fourteen year old to prove it. It started it out with my awesome awkward, balding and short Bishop challenging the Youth to hike up a nearby mountain, 7 miles roundtrip. I'm telling you people, it was beautiful. I saw a flipping deer amidst the richy rich neighborhoods of Southern California. I told everyone there that if they had been my friends before, they were no longer. That deer was all that mattered from then on. We later moseyed on over to a park for some panqueques deliciososssss and lava monster (if you don't know this game, you have never had a childhood) with a bunch of people my age. Later it was Bishop's house for some hot doggies, swimming, and werewolves (if you haven't played this game you have no life). After that we washed, showered, primped and destinkified ourselves to head on over to rape-- uhmm, grape day park for fireworks, and another game of werewolves <3. Mind you i had done all this on four hours of sleep, so when they mentioned that we were going to Bishop's house afterwards to play MORE werewolves, i planned to go there in my pajamas and most likely PASS out and spend the night there. But i made all the way through the party, are you proud? The only thing that would've made this day better would be if i had seen my friends who are currently elsewhere. :( i miss ewe all.

Really? A Goggie?

I've had cats all my life. Let's say that, at most, i've lived maybe two weeks without at least one cat inhabiting my home, yet i have NEVER had a dog. My mom and I moseyed on over to the Humane Society and found a black lab pup. Her name is Hannah. She's young, beautiful, strong, curious, and energetic... I can imagine her doing something like this ....

So what do you people think?  I'm still rooting for a kitten, now that I rescued five of them from a dumpster this past week. they looked a little like this....

Learning Lessons The Hard Way

Sometimes we face adversity in our lives, every day in fact. It seems to bare its teeth and roar it's terrible roar, and we wonder why Heavenly Father ever does this to us. In some cases, Heavenly Father places adversity in our path, that we may over come and progress ever more. But a few times each week, perhaps each day, we face problems due to our own agency. When somebody else takes a wrong turn in life and it angers, sorrows, hurts, or saddens you, you do yourself no good by countering back, for then you too must take that wrong turn in the fork of the road. There's a lot to be learned from either path though. Unfortunately, i reacted and took the wrong turn. Regardless though, i know that Jesus Christ will be there to compensate. It gives me hope.
