Late night testimony of Jesus Christ.


I feel overwhelmingly blessed to be alive today. For the past year I have taught Sunday School in my ward at church. This has been incredibly hard for me. As I have gone through the Old Testament as well as the New Testament my faith has been strengthened and my testimony has grown. I am no perfect person. I am imperfectly perfect in my Heavenly Father's eyes. I know without any questions that my Heavenly Father is aware of my existence.  He is fully aware of all my pains, sorrows, anxieties, fears, and doubts. He sent me to this earth at this time for a very specific reason. He placed me with my family and He knows long before I do what is coming and how I can overcome it. I know that Heavenly Father sent His son, Jesus Christ, to this earth. I know that Jesus Christ was the only perfect person to ever walk the earth. I know that Jesus Christ set the ultimate example of teaching, love, charity, and hope. I know that Jesus Christ died for me. He walked His path alone so I do not have to do so. He bore the sins of the world for me. He did that because like His father, He loves me. I know that I am never alone. At times I can feel so lost and alone. Knowing that I always have the ability to pray brings me comfort during those times. I know that I truly am never alone as long as I keep my life alined with the teachings I have been taught. I know that life is hard, but it's not supposed to be easy. I know that during those hard times I can grow and I can overcome. I know that I am a daughter of my Heavenly Father. I know that my family is forever. I know that my life is so good because I recognize the blessings in each and every day. I know that bad days will end. I know that this life is short, and it needs to be lived to its fullest. These things I know.

Dearest Utah

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

The divine role of a woman.

I turn 18 tomorrow. My birthday has never been a super exciting ordeal and it's never been a big deal. As I reflect on the past 18 years of my life I am reminded of the divine women I have been lucky to have in my life. It all starts with my two grandmothers. My grandma Jean is a beautiful woman who makes me laugh and puts up with me every summer. She has taught me lessons about life and that my education is very important. My grandma Forsyth is a true strong woman. I enjoy her simple nature and her love of family history. From them comes my mother. I am pretty sure she already knows how amazing she is. I could go on for hours about her and her crazy self. Then there are the countless church leaders that have entered into my life. From the time I was old enough to understand anything there has always been a image of a divine woman not far from my sight. They helped me grow up and they taught me how simply amazing it is to be a woman. There are teachers that have touched my heart an

Facing Up

Facing up to things in life are sometimes the hardest. Facing up to being rude, to being sad, to being angry, gets harder each time. The older I get, the worse I get at facing up. I run way far away from everything and anything, and that, is a major flaw of mine. Today I stayed home from school, and took a day for myself. This day consisted of sleeping in, cleaning, and laughing my butt of while watching Friends. I went to church tonight, pretty much in my pajamas, and no makeup. We played human Battleship, and I loved every minute of it. On the way home Dylan and I laughed at the fact that manure and perfume do not mix well together(some people had fertilized their fields and it smelled way bad so we tried to cover up the smell with perfume). I feel bad for myself sometimes, but then I am reminded that things could be much worse. My aunt had a link to a blog on her blog, and I opened it, read it, and now I read it everyday. This strong and courageous woman named Stephanie and her husb
