When I think of 2014 I think of graduation:
The whole preparation for graduation was surreal. I always knew I'd graduate but I never thought the time would actually come. As I look back on all my graduation pictures I had the best smile and I keep telling myself..well duh! Because I didn't force it onto my face. It was the best feeling being surrounded kids I've known since I was just a kid. WHERE DID TIME GO??and who let us grow up that fast??
The love you feel for everyone is so real in that moment. Everyone backstage before entering the "o" saying .."we made it"
So congrats class of 2014. I love you.
When I think of 2014 I think of the unending love our savior has for us:
All throughout summer I was lost. I had lost my family and someone I loved and had unfortunately leaned himwhen I was weak.I couldn't keep myself up alone. I was emotionally drained and I had lost myself. I couldn't even hold a smile. Until one night I cried so hard asking why now? Why me? I got onto my knees burrowed my head into my arms and let the tears roll out onto my cold skin. A phrase then came into my mind and filled my heart with comfort. "Not my will but thine be done"
I could feel the arms of my brother Jesus Christ wrapped around me. I was not alone. I cried and asked for guidance and love. Let me tell you. He didn't fail. I was guided by the savior and found myself next to the side of some amazing friends who held my hand through tough waters.
My savior showed me he had another plan in store for me. Something better ahead to come & I'm thankful beyond measure that I turned to my savior. A savior that looks out for me NO MATTER WHAT. He knows me and loves me. He knows you and loves you too. I learned to trust something that I couldn't see but that I could feel so strong in my heart. I also learned to forgive: and that forgiveness is such a bigggg thing. It brings peace to the soul. I can testify that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ ARE real! They know you and love you SO much!! I also can testify to you that you are never alone. Even I can forget that sometimes. But I'm always reminded that I'm not. I also know that prayer is a REAL thing. He hears you. And sometimes..wait scratch that..ALL THE TIME. you have to trust he has something better in store for you even if you think you know..you don't.he knows and knows your heart and what's best for it. I can testify that the Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ. He lives
When I think of 2014 I think of college:
Holy cow! Best experience! I've met and grown to love so many people out in Saint George. Most of them didn't even know what mormon was. They thought it was a race. HAHA I love them for even saying that. I met sooooo many people who hold the dearest spots in my heart. They are home to me. College taught me so much. Like not to take for granted the little things you hold in your homes now such as a screw driver, extra toilet paper, bowls& plates and paper towels. It taught me to be myself ALWAYS. I could sit and watch the sunset alone without being judged. It taught me the importance of family becauSe they helped me out SO much just to get there. College taught me to fight for myself. It taught me to be my own self. I've grown so much because of it.(both mentally and physically..HAHAHA)
College brought to me many kisses. Out of all the guys I kissed only ONE actually kissed good! Yes I'm judging. Call me evil. Funny thing is..I told myself I would never kiss a guy at college because I was so stuck on corbin. Whoooops. Hehe
I grew to know two beautiful girls who became my best friends and sisters! And I will never forget the impact they had on my life. College is gooooood. GO
When I think of 2015
I think of once again.. Growing& working on who I've come. I love who I've become but plan for this year to be better than last and to keep moving forward in any situation
