December is Quite Busy

Hey guys! So sorry I'm not too devoted to my blog. I really need to post more often or else this blog is of no purpose. So today (I'm in school right now) I was called by my principle out of class. She said it wasn't anything bad, so I wasn't worried. She pulled me out to talk to me about my locker. Everything on my locker is about my background, just simple things that make up my life. I have three things on my locker, my temple photo with a little quote, "If this isn't your castle, then you're not my prince", a BYU magnet, and a paper out of the back of the new era which says, "Make the church your whole life, not just a background." (It's probably not accurate, but you get the idea.) My principle soon informed me that I was no longer able to have my BYU sticker and my new era quote on my locker. She said that the janitors didn't like my magnet, so I had to take it down, and she didn't really have a clear explanation for why I had to take down my new era quote. I simply did what she told me, not wanting to cause conflict or get in trouble, and I did it. As soon as she walked away, I started to cry. I did NOT think that this was fair. It felt like I was taking down my religion. I started to cry, and could not stop. It was a feeling of pain, because I wanted everybody to know that I love the lord. What ever happened to freedom of speech? I felt alone. I felt like nobody would understand, because this was a form of a part of my testimony. It was like having the light of Christ stolen away form you. This was one of the worst feelings I've felt in a long time.  But anyways, just remember, that even though somebody can tear down any form of testimony outside of your body, you will always have your testimony in your heart,and in your mind.

My Crazy Night of Fun and Disaster

Hey guys! I'm SO sorry I haven't posted n a long time but my life is crazy! With all my church activities, school, and all that other stuff, I'm over my head with crazy activities. In fact, I'm writing this in English class right now. I'm in school, and this is my free time. Booyah! So last night, I was a complete party animal. I went to mutual and had no care in the world. But wait!, I STILL HAVE TO DELIVER MY NEWSPAPERS! What now?! I'll have to deliver in dark! My worst nightmare has come true! I zoomed home to jet the job done. When I got there, I remember, I still have to wrap them in plastic bags! I practically gave up when I walked in the front door. My mom came to help and it was like wonder woman to the rescue! She had come to save me! She quickly helped me bag them up and we hopped in the car. It was deathly cold but I new I had to complete the job. I ran down the street delivering until I got to my half way point. I simply gave up and decided wonder woman can wait. I'm gonna walk.  I finished the job and thank goodness I did! I'll never party like that again!

Thanksgiving Break!

Well, it's thanksgiving break now and can I say I'm SOOOOOOO grateful for it. School lately has been a little stressful. Yesterday I had a chemistry midterm final, and of course, I procrastinated and I didn't study the day before. Thankfully, I got a 39/42 and I still have an A-. I'm am so grateful for the Lord for helping me with that! I just don't know how I would handle situations like that if I didn't have Christ. How would you handle things? I don't think I could handle that! But anywho, how are you guys lately? As I said, I'm a little stressed out but I'm good and I hope you are too! This was a short post, but I'm posting something different that will be longer. To-ta-loo!

I Felt Like I Needed to Post

Well hey guys! I've been feeling a little crappy. The last couple of nights I've gotten really sick and can't do anything to sooth the pain. My stomach just couldn't take it anymore I guess because it has hissy fits at the end of the day. I hope this doesn't happen to you guys. Ever. But anyways, while I've been sick, I pray, and I pray for what I'm grateful for and I pray for others too. Of course I pray about my stomach too, and that's ok. But I just want you guys to think about that. The next time you're sick, maybe you should pray for others, because I'm sure that there are people in the world that are most likely dealing with more worse problems than you, and they probably need help more than you in your situation. I'm not saying that God won't help you, I'm just saying that the other people might need love and comfort in their situation a little bit more, and sometimes God helps you when you help others instead of just helping you. Anywho sorry for the random post. Sorry if you don't like it, and sorry if you disagree with me. But thanks for reading!!

Young Women's in Excellence

So tonight was young women's in excellence. On the outside I was like yay!! But n the inside- words can't even explain how nervous I was. My mind started thinking of these dumb things like "What if I mess up? What if I'm not loud enough? What my prayer isn't good enough?" I'm so stupid. Of course I shouldn't have worried about these things as much as I did. The program started. Oh crap I thought, the program has started. I sat there worried sick. Literally. I worried myself so much I got sick to my stomach. I'm so dramatic I thought. This is my ward, if they actually love you, they'll think you'll do great. Then I thought "What if they don't love me?! Oh crap! what have I gotten myself into?!". Sometimes being a girl is way to dramatic. I got up and sang Come unto Christ with the Young Women. When we got to the last line I started to get nervouser and nervouser (even though that's not a word). And then the song was over. I stood there for a second. Frozen. I thought to myself "Well what are you waiting for stupid?! Say the prayer!!!" I said the prayer and when I ended, nobody judged me. "Wow" I though. They didn't judge me. Why do I have to worry so much. I felt a cloud of relief over take me. Literally. No I'm just kidding. ;) Sorry, that was probably so cheesy and stupid. Sorry I even said that. Anyways, I was all happy and relieved until I relized that I had to get up two more times. I then had one of those movie moments in my head. It was when the kid in the movie relizes that what they've gotten into isn't over. And they look up to the sky/camera and yell NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! So yeah, the rest of my night went like that. Great I know. It was perfect. Not to mention I had one of the decans from our ward watching me. Decans make everything worse when I'm nervous. Especially when I know that the next day I'll have to see them again. But anywho, it was pretty great, I admit it. And everything else was smooth. Sorry for these random boring posts. You're probably thinking like Kip form Napoleon Dynamite right now, "Well that was a rip off." With the classic Kip voice. Below is a picture of my project display.

Why is my blog called "It's a Wonderful Life"?

So why is my blog called "It's a Wonderful Life"? That's because it is. I feel like that as humans, we tend to overlook that. I know that I find myself overlooking it a LOT. I love this quote by president Gordon B. Hinkley, "Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured." That quote hangs in my parents bathroom and whenever I see it, it reminds me that life is a privilege. God gave us the world and all the fun things about it to test us. I believe that any natural disaster that happens is just another test to see if we're paying any attention (Other than the fact that the second coming is coming). He wants to see how we'll handle it, to get to know us better. I testify that God lives, and if we listen to His still small voice (The Holy Ghost), then life will be easy. I know that Joseph Smith restored the true church on Earth, and I know it's the right one. I know that we were put in these days because we are the children of God with the strongest testimonies. I also know that as we go on in life, we should always remember that we're never alone. God is never against you, and he will always love you. I challenge all you readers to try to get to know our Heavenly Father better, and as we do, we will be able to form a better relationship with our Heavenly Father, a better connection than we will ever have with anyone else. Here are something you should know about me!                                            Stuff about me:
