Why I love UVU

First of all....Happy New Year! Can you believe it's 2012?
Disclaimer: No, I don't believe the world is going to end.
Too many other great things have to happen before the end of the world can happen. End of story.

Now....
Do you want to know why I love being a student at UVU?
Well, I never thought this was possible, but I do! I love how small the class sizes are. I love the Communication Department. I love the professors. They really try and get to know you and are actually concerned about your welfare and how you are doing in their class. There are lots of people to meet and lots of ways you can get involved. I love finding familiar faces, even among the mass of faces to see no matter where you walk.
I also never thought I would like living in "Happy Valley", but it's a really fun place to be at. So many things to do, places to go, people to meet....
I know I was supposed to come to UVU. It's been a great experience. Lots of people think that UVU is just that school you go to when you are from near-by and want to live at home to save money or because you didn't make it into BYU. It is so much more than that. UVU is a fantastic school that lots of people take for granted.
I wish people had more school spirit about UVU. It's an awesome university. They have fabulous professors, awesome classes, and great people.
I guess it just goes to show that you can find great things in the places you least expect to :)

Come Listen to a Prophet's Voice

General Conference has always been a family event for my family. We would have family travel from out of state just to come and listen to prophets and apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints speak to the world. One of our family's tradition is to have M&Ms while watching and playing Conference Bingo. I can't imagine watching conference without one or both during most if not all sessions. I have always loved Conference. Their words inspired and lift me. Even though they are speaking to millions of people all over the world, they somehow know just what to say that soothes my soul and is exactly what I need in my life. Topics range every session of Conference from missionary work to families, from marriage to pornography, from grieving to happiness. Just about every Gospel topic that members of the Church need at this time is covered. If you have any questions or doubts in your mind about the Gospel or struggling with anything in your life, I challenge ...

His Hand in Your Life

Image
I was talking with a friend earlier this week about life and how we got to where we are right now. It got me thinking a lot about how the Lord's hand has directly guided my life. We don't always know why things happen the way they do. Actually most of the time we don't understand that, but the Lord knows. He will choose to tell us when we need to know, even if that isn't until the next life. I know that everything happens for a reason. I have had my share of frustrating moments where I wish I knew why things happen the way the way they do right now, but I'm grateful that the Lord is in charge of everything. I seriously have been able to see how the Lord has connected different events in my life. One thing didn't happen the way I had hoped, but it led to other things that helped take my life in a better, but different direction. It's like these dominoes here.   If I was in charge of my life, it would have led my life in the path to the left,...

In Christ Alone

 Hello there!  I have been deciding for three months what my first post back from the mission should be about. It has been hard to decide and I finally realized what it needed to be about - our Savior Jesus Christ.  Before my mission, I knew my Savior was there for me. He had helped me during my hard times, especially when Mom passed away, and I felt the "balm in Gilead" heal me. But I had never truly realized that He could help me change, truly change.  During the summer of 2014 at BASEcamp, we sang a song made popular by Owl City "In Christ Alone". It's actually an old Christian song sung in many different congregations all over. I had never heard it until Owl City sang it. The words have made an impact on me. I have listened to it hundreds of times, but was reminded of the significance as I listened to it again tonight.     Listen to it while you read the words below: In Christ alone my hope is found, He is my light, my strength, my song; This C...
