Prayer

Pray: to ask that the laws of the universe be annulled in behalf of a single petitioner confessedly unworthy. -Ambrose Bierce



There are no words to explain the past couple weeks. I’ve so overly busy with life. My family has been hit with heartache. But as always it has brought us closer. I have definitely felt the power of prayer in my life. I have been brought to my knees in tears and have felt my Saviors love. My faith has been tried and tested. And for everything... I am grateful.

life is a choice

i want a camera.

not to start a business.

but to capture life, before it's gone.

in my place

long time no post. i've been m.i.a. for quite some time. i feel as though i never have a chance to just sit and relax and enjoy, and most importantly recuperate. My week consists of dental assisting 8-5, (trying to)working out, making dinner, laundry, sleep(sometimes), weekend theatre job, cleaning, grocery shopping, preparing sunbeam lesson, church, family dinner, and repeat. i wish i had more time... to just listen to good music, see a close friend, catch up with family, sleeeeeep. but i tell myself this will all be worth it. bradley has been busy with school and work. right now he's working towards medical school and i couldn't be any more proud of him. he studies though the night and goes to tutoring. his grades are showing his hard work.

this is charity. she's the sweetest little girl i know. she's gives me endless hugs and smiles and is full of long detailed stories. she is what makes me love being in primary. i know i shouldn't have a favorite...
aaaand this is my baby puppy sawyer! i love him. he's hilariously sweet and entertaining.

if i could go back and change my wedding dress it would be to this. which can be found here. this dress is gorgeous. and of course i would add a cute jacket to it. and my colors would be Tiffany turquoise, silver and white. and i would have white feathered tulips.

(this is what i think about at work.)

Ten steps...

...to live a Joyful and Enthusiastic Life.

First: Stop putting yourself down. there is a lot that is good in you. empty your mind of thoughts of failure and start seeing yourself as a competent person.

Second: Eliminate self-pity. Think of what you have, instead of dwelling on what you have lost.

Third: Quit thinking about yourself. Think of others. Go out and look for someone who needs the help you can give, and give it freely.

Fourth: Remember the words of Goethe: "He who is firm in will molds the world to himself." God gave humans something called will. Use it.

Fifth: Have a goal and set and achievable timetable to achieve it.

Sixth: Stop wasting your mental energy on the past, and start thinking about what to do now. Amazing things happen you think constructively.

Seventh: Every morning and every evening say these words aloud: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

Eighth: Every day say three times: "This is the day the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it" (Psalms 118:24).

Ninth: Think and practice joy every day.

Tenth: Get enthusiasm; think enthusiasm; live enthusiastically!

-Norman Vincent Peale

saturday

For those of you who don't know, i have a second job. I work at the Hale Centre Theatre on the weekends. I work in the box office selling tickets, handing out tickets, exchanging tickets, printing tickets and etc. It's a really fun job and pretty low key, i deal with a lot of different people everyday. Well every once in awhile i have a patron that i recognize or think i know. Most of the time i don't know how i know someone or from where i know them, but today was the exception! An older gentleman walked in wanting to pick up his eleven tickets for the matinee today. I looked up and was blown away. Instantly i got a bad case of the creeps. I helped the gentleman like nothing was wrong and gave him my biggest smile. who was this man you may ask...Okay. it wasn't t-bag. but the man must have been his twin! eeek!
