Routines and excuses

I have thought about writing a new blog post so very often. I tell people all of the time that I like to write, and yet my last real post was in February.

I feel like I have let my routines of life get in the way of things I want to do. Is it just priorities of life or is it making the excuse that it's different priorities?

All I know is that want to be better in so many aspects of my life. I want to take more hold of my life like I have dedicated this blog to showing that I do. Maybe that's a reason I haven't written much. I have wanted to embark more, to do more, and I felt like I haven't so there isn't much to write about in that regard.

I hope that I can change that. Something that I have been wanting to do for awhile and that I finally was able to was to put some highlights in my hair!

Left - Before. Right - After

I know that it's pretty subtle in this picture, but here are some of the after shots directly seeing the layers!




Doing things you don't usually do, and making life an adventure. This is my reaffirmation that is what I want to do. 

Until next time, which will hopefully be soon.

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,...

Oakcrest has changed my life

Image
I went to a "farewell" on Sunday of one of the sisters I worked with at Oakcrest girls' camp during the summer of 2010. It has made me think a lot back to that summer and why it was such an amazing experience. I was also talking to my bishop that night to receive some counsel and the things he said reminded me of our theme from that summer. That is why I dedicate this blog post to Oakcrest. I wrote about it in another post  back in May , but this time I want to talk about what the theme means to me. Here is a link to listen to the theme song from 2010. It is a video by "The Ward Choir Guy", Jason Robison, who helped our directorship write it.
