Firstly, What are Words by Chris Mendina is a BEAUTIFUL song. I mean it. I cry almost every single time I listen to it. Lately I have been finding myself feeling old, alone, and desperate. Then I simply remind myself that I am only 18 years old and thankfully I have a lot of life still to live. I find a lot of my thoughts started up on Pinterest. I'm slightly addicted and I really don't need to be addicted to another internet site. Anywho, one of the quotes I saw said, "Have you prayed about it as much as you have talked about it?" Good question, quote. This is so true. A lot of times I find myself complaining about my life in words. If I would simply turn to the Lord in prayer I would find the answers I have been searching for. Can you imagine how much more loving, caring, kind, and genuine the world would be if they stopped spending so much time on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest(dang I had to put it in there), or any other site and spend that time studying and building their relationship with God? Wow, that's a world I like to imagine. So today I am leaving you with a challenge: Get off the computer, kneel down, and pray. I don't care if you haven't prayed in years or ever at all. Try it and I promise you'll sleep better tonight, and who knows, maybe you'll find the answer to something you've been searching for.
My dear sweet Utah, What an amazing three weeks you've given me. You always will be my home away from home and I will always be grateful for my summers spent with you. Utah, you teach me a lot every single time I'm with you, and this year you've given me much to be thankful for. You have taught me that family is never that far away. You have taught me that life in itself gives great challenges, but those challenges make me stronger. You have taught me that one of my most favorite things is seeing my grandparents hold hands while walking together. You have taught me that the mountains are the most beautiful place in the world. You have taught me that the stars are so much brighter when you are actually looking for them. You have taught me how much I am blessed to have such amazing friends back home. You have taught me that it's okay not to look your best every day. You have taught me that Law & Order: SVU is a slight addiction shared by my cousins and myself. You ha...
