Have you ever had those days or weeks that you wonder what you're going to do with your life? Well, I've been having one of those weeks! Maybe it's because I'm not really doing anything this semester and I don't really have any responsibilities but I don't like it. I mean I kind of have a idea of where my life is going and that's enough for me. It's ok though. Let the new week begin! hahaha

"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment".

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Life is wonderful.

My favorite scripture!

So, I was reading my older journal entries and I found one that I really liked just before I got baptized. It talked about this scripture that kind of pushed me towards learning more about the gospel. It's Alma 37:37. It says, "Counsel with the Lord in all thy doings, and he will direct thee for good; yea, when thou liest down at night lie down unto the Lord, that he may watch over you in your sleep; and when thou risest up in the morning let thy heart be full of thanks unto God; and if ye do these things, ye shall be lifted up at the last day". This is my favorite scripture of all time. I remember sitting at Erik's house reading this and feeling how much God loved me. I've just been feeling so grateful to have found the church lately. My life would be way different if I didn't.

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.

We have no water at the house and that's what happened in Vegas.

So we were talking about how you're suppose to worship Jesus Christ in my D&C class today and it was quite interesting. We talked about how we can't worship Christ until we emulate him. A couple of awesome quotes were brought up that I've been thinking about all day. "Perfect emulation is perfect worship" and "Emulation is the sincerest form of worship". Pretty cool huh? I've never thought about worship as emulation before.

And in my Developing Psychology we were talking about suicide and depression. Why do young adults in the church have such a hard time with depression? Well, someone brought up the point that we have a thought in our head that says we must be perfect because that is what the gospel tells us. But, did you know that perfect in the gospel does't mean flawless? It means whole or spiritually reborn. For the longest time, I thought of perfection as flawlessness. It's good to know that it's not.

I'm new

So...I've never really had a blog before but I thought I'd give it a try. It seems like everyone blogs these days anyway. Yes, that's all I have for right now.
