Looking Forward

There are some things I have been thinking about recently that are basically summed up in this thought from Matthew Hussey, who is a relationship guru.

I've been following him for awhile on Facebook and I know that there are some pearls of wisdom that he passes along to anyone who is having the desire to be in a relationship.  

Having just been through a lot of things this guy related this past year and a half, and even longer with other things that have happened I know that I wouldn't be the person I am today without knowing that making the choices to change and work hard and develop the skills and the talents that I do have.

It has made a world of difference to know that I am being taken care of because I am relying on God and Christ to help me through it.  There are times where it can be more difficult than others but being consistent to the things that challenge us and change us will make us out to be the better person than we ever thought we could be.

Now relationship wise with that specific guy, I won't go into too many details right now but I basically closed the book last week and although it feels a little said there is a lot of peace that comes with knowing that there will be someone better for me. Someone with qualities I haven't even imagined yet.  

Looking forward and praying and hoping that I am going to continue to become the person I am supposed to become.  Hold strong to the things I value and that are important to me and continue to change and look to my future. I'm so excited for that!

Peace

So I have had quite an interesting month and a half to say the least but I wanted to post about a few certain things that were going on.

I realized how important Temples are.  They are a source of peace and revelation and I am so grateful that I have been able to experience what I have experienced by just attending baptismal sessions in the temple.  They will also be a place where I can receive instruction and be sealed to an eternal companion and begin my own family, and that is such a wonderful, amazing thing.

I also have come to realize how important it is to be a Woman,

As Women we have such an important role to play, Men can't be mothers, sisters, wives, daughters, or aunts like women can,  and Women can't be fathers, brothers, husbands, sons, or uncles like men can.  As much as the world wants to fill the gaps with what is going on in the world right now, It is hard to understand the importance of our roles.  

I am really glad that I have come to realizations that after so long that I can be such a wonderful, eternal, human being, (if that make sense) and we have all been given the opportunity to experience every aspect of life, good and bad, that is only what makes us who we are and who we will become.  

For a long time I have been fearful of making big huge important steps, but I have come to understand that Heavenly Father only wants us to be closer to him and know him.  He knows us and trusts us, so we need to know him and trust him, even when he gives us revelation that we think is ridiculous.

I am so grateful that even after making mistakes Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ are willing to help us through the Atonement.  He wouldn't have provided that opportunity if he didn't think that we could all work through our difficulties, our trials, and mistakes.

I am so grateful for revelation, through the scriptures, from general conference or receiving my own personal revelation.  I am so grateful that it has come at the right time, and the right place. 

I am so grateful for all my friends that I have had, that I currently have, and that I will have, they are amazing in every way, they are incredible.  I have learned so much from them, and they are huge examples to me.   The Lord has definitely put the best people into my life, when I needed them.

I am so grateful for my family.  As it has changed and developed into what it is right now. I know that every member of my family is working hard at being who they are and being happy.  I love them.

I am hopefully going to blog more frequently, I just haven't felt the right things to say and I wanted to make sure I was blogging for me, and not blogging for anyone else.  Even though I want people to read my blog.   I just didn't feel like I had the right words to say what I wanted to say.

So Happy Monday!

A Little Bit About My Love of Music and A Giveaway!

Welcome Blog readers from everywhere,

I have been given such a wonderful opportunity to provide a giveaway today through YOURLDSRADIO and YOURLDSMUSIC

But I thought first I would tell you a little bit about how I came across LDS music.

When I was sixteen years old I was finding that a lot of the music that was out there contained vulgar and suggestive lyrics.

I really thought that as a Latter Day Saint and by reading the Strength for Youth Pamphlet that I really should listen to music that is uplifting and inspiring and came across Gospel Music and Christian Music.

A year later I attended an EFY (Especially for Youth) conference in Calgary, Alberta Canada and received my very first EFY CD A Season for Courage.  I listened to that CD more times then I could count and could  sing many of the songs off by heart.  They not only became a comfort but became an inspiration and council through the lyrics.  I have since bought many EFY CD's and many other CD's by other LDS artists and have really come to love the music that has been inspired by the spirit.

I recently received an email from Your LDS Radio/Your LDS Music.  asking if I would like to do a giveaway on my blog.  It seemed like the perfect way to introduce my love of LDS music and have the opportunity to start writing again on my blog.
