I've been deprived of writing lately and I absolutely hate it. My mind has been brimming with abounding thoughts and when I finally get the time to sit down to write..my mind is bare.
College for me has been a love hate thing. I live in a whole different environment from where I grew up..and like I said it's a love hate thing. I've never wanted to live and grow closer to Christ than now AND I have also never had so much temptation thrown at me. I sat down on my college sized twin bed to array all the thoughts in my head. I was so defeated on WHY there is so much evil around me? Why I can't seem to find someone who strives to live the same standards I do. there was no answer. I couldn't come up with anything. I cried out in my heart "why? why?" silly right? Later that week I attended church, It was fast and testimony meeting (my fav). A young woman walked up to the pulpit..with uneasiness in her voice words began to flow out of her mouth. She shared a story about when she was a freshman and how she realized that coming here to this college was hard for her. She struggled with many temptations and hardships but then she began to turn it around..she said "It was a test to prove myself." and right there I knew God had answered my cry "why? why?"

This weekend I was blessed to attend General Conference! (You're jealous, I know.unless you're Odalys who is my suitemate that just informed me she wasn't jealous. tehe) The feeling of the spirit overwhelmed me there. Absolute beauty in everything. I always love the feeling that takes over whenever the spirit is present..it's greater than any feeling. The words that were spoken were amazing..I long for that ability to speak such empowering words. I always leave knowing I am a child of God. Those few words hit me so strong because it's true. I love it. Thomas S Monson // be a little better, a little kinder, show respect, extend our concern, try to do the right things, be a light to the world...Simple but SO GOOD. love love love love.


If someone knows where I can get these adorable plants please spill the beans. I want *heart eyes* *about to change subjects super quick*
I've learned to grow the love for being alone. Don't get me wrong I revel in other peoples company but being alone can be fun and in college it's totally OK if you're walking, sitting or heck even talking alone. I am perfectly content and satisfied with the smallest of things.
