A string of fortunate events :)


As I sit and think of the day's events my day replays in my head. I think of the people I've met, the opportunities I've had for service, and the things I was able to accomplish. There were the ups and the downs, good things and the bad things, things that didn't go as "planned", but I am filled with joy and gratitude. No my life isn't perfect. It's definitely not turned out the way I have wanted it to. But I'm so glad!! I am glad that Heavenly Father knows ME and he knows my heart. He knows what will make me the most happy and what will bring me the most joy. He knows the past present and future! He knows what is going to happen today and tomorrow. He has a perfect plan for ME! I am definitely not perfect at trusting Him, nor will I ever be, but that's ok! It's the here a little there a little, precept upon precept principle that is going to get me where I need to go. Because of His Son Jesus Christ, I am able to be forgiven of my sins and get on the right path again. Time and time again, mistake after mistake. I'm able to become a better person and learn and grow in ways that I never thought possible. This gospel of Jesus Christ makes me happy! It makes me me and I would be completely lost and alone without it. Not having the opportunity to pray to my Heavenly Father would kill me!! But the great thing is that I CAN. Anytime, anywhere, any place I want and need too. He's ALWAYS there just waiting for me to come unto Him! We are taught in the scriptures to knock and it shall be opened, ask and ye shall receive, come unto me, and so many more. I invite you all to do just that. I know He is listening and I know that He can help. Most importantly, don't forget the love He has for you ♥️

My body: ❤️

  New post: My body: Warning ⚠️ vulnerable post ahead!  I’ve always been more on the plus size side and have really tried hard to work on myself to become more confident with my body. I’ve tried to feel comfortable in my own skin and to love and accept my body in every stage, because EVERY stage is beautiful! But I’m not perfect at it and some days are hard. I’ve recently gained some weight that has come with the stresses of life (uggg it’s the worst) life changes, etc. and have found myself absolutely CONSUMED with my body and how “awful” I think I look. 😓 I’m the girl in a room thinking of my weight and if I’m the heaviest. Constantly comparing my body to everyone else’s. I always thought that I had to have this “perfect” body to feel accepted and that if I didn’t fit this standard of beauty that I would have no value.  I find myself comparing my body to everyBODY that comes along. I remember for almost every birthday growing up, secretly wishing to be “skinny” and thinking that if

God is love ❤️

 I recently attended the funeral services of Cason’s uncle that unexpectedly passed away. Even though I didn’t know him super well, he was such a kind man! Tears fell as the talks, memories, and testimonies of his family, grandchildren, and friends were shared. I walked away feeling so uplifted ❤️🙏🏻 it was such a spiritual funeral. I think that’s the point, when loved ones pass, is to get you to reflect on your own life and the people around you. I felt so much love that day-So much care and concern that God is aware, He is in control, and He knows what we are all going through! I know God has a plan for each of His beloved children. I know He loves each and every single one of YOU! Yes, YOU. I know that not a tear falls that He doesn’t know about or of a hurtful thought that was said to you. He celebrates the good times and is there for us in the bitter times. He finds joy in the things that make us laugh and in the people we help along the way. He truly is our biggest fan and cheer

LIVE ☀️

  New post: I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting recently and realized that it’s been a while since I’ve felt inspired to write a new post.  Hardships and loss, like most thought provoking experiences we are all going to get to go through, bring lots of reflection. Loss of a loved one, compassion for those experiencing the loss, and the sorrow and grief that come along, that you don’t quite understand and realize, until you go through it yourself.  Death and change, ironically, make you think and reflect on your own life. The impact you make, the example you set, the kindness you show, the love you give freely, and the acts of service you show to others.  It (hopefully) makes you want you try harder. To be a little better. To love more. To give more. To serve more. To LIVE more. To not let the opportunities pass you by. To spend more time with the ones you love. To do the things you’ve dreamed of doing. To not sweat the small stuff and to actually LIVE. ☀️ So here’s to the new version o
