This is inspiration.

Can we just talk about something for a bit. Let's talk about the immense and amazing impact of Mormon Messages. I feel like there isn't one I have watched when I haven't felt the spirit so deeply seep into my very being. My eyes well up with tears, my heart swells, and the Holy Ghost testifies of the truth of the message being received. It is incredible. We study media, and it's effect on babies, children, adolescents, adults... people. There is bad in the world. Yes. There is good in the world. Yes. Where the break up of the two is exactly, I don't know. BUT- I do know that I choose to support the good. It is hard. It really is. There are some shows out there I just want to watch, because I know they are funny, I know they will entertain me, and I know that it will take no effort on my part.

I post this Mormon Message, because I think it is beautiful. I think of my dad, and his love and sacrifice for me. Truly, understanding our fathers and their roles, we will better understand our Father and Heaven and His role in helping us return to him.

    I love the video about fathers! I can't even watch it without crying. I'm so grateful that the church comes up with amazing things like Mormon Messages.

    I love this Mormon Message! I get teary eyed every time I watch it! It is hard to comprehend the love our Heavenly Father has for us but with the example of our fathers we are able to understand a portion of it.

Anniversary and Other Big News

One year done! And, might I add, we are doing great! The last year has flown by. I guess it has been good then. Time flies when you are having fun. I did find myself a little jealous of the weather today. It was sunny and nice - for December - and when I got married it was like 5 degrees and bitter cold. I told Collin we ought to go back and do it again. JK. I am thankful for the opportunity God blessed me with to marry, Collin. He is a blessing in my life, and he completes me in all the right ways. We make a great team! I am excited for all the years to come. I graduated! This is kind of like big deal. I graduated with a BS in Family Science with a Human Development emphasis. So, what is that really? I have gotten this question a few times. First of all, it isn't a Home Economics degree. I did not take any sewing or cooking classes. I took classes about humans and how we develop with in a family. I will give some example, Socialization Across Childhood, Adolescent Development,...

Talk Negative to Me

“You are totally out of your league. You gotta leave, now!” This is what was playing in my head as soon as I watched the other ladies hit. I had agreed to go play volleyball with my friend. Neither of us knew what we were going to find when we got to Bear Lake gym. Well, we found players - like - playa players. The voice just continued playing over and over as my body got tight, my heart beat fast, and I began to squirm inside. “You aren’t good enough. Did you see that set? You can’t set like that. Wowzer. That was an insane angle. You can’t hit like that. They must have all played college, for sure. You didn’t even play in high school. Oh, they are using all that fancy volleyball lingo. Do you even know what she just said?” Panic. Now, lucky for me, I was well into my current reading selection, a sports psychology book. And, fortunately I had just finished the chapter on negative self talk right before I left for this sporting excursion. In “This is Your Brain on ...

Beauty from Pain

It is almost 2 A.M. I am, maybe, going to sleep soon. My body is tired, my mind just isn't. I can't escape the sad. It is weird how depression can either keep you up till the sun comes over the mountain, or, make you sleep your days away. It is funny like that. I don't find myself in depressive "downs" (that's what I call them) very often. I am lucky, really. But those few days, or weeks, can be so painful and dark. I often think it will just go away. POOF! There went my mental struggles. It isn't going anywhere. It really isn't. I should deal. I have written down the feelings that I feel just to get them out and try to deal from there. They aren't happy feelings. Lifeless. Hopeless. Worthless. These are always the three that come. Depression is downward spiral into a dark place. I am blessed. I really am. I know this. I have so many talents and gifts to be thankful for and develop. My Father in Heaven loves me. That, my friends, is all I can...
