Weakness. Not giving up!


Why is it that we as humans are so darn weak? (Mark 14:38) Over and over again we commit the same mistake or sin. We tell ourselves we aren’t going to let it happen and then BAM- it happens again. 

We live in such a society that us trying our best, is not good enough. We have to be perfect. Flawless. And without mistake. Or else everyone around you will think less of you and or judge you. We are so focused on that perfection, we forget how far we’ve come what we’ve already accomplished. REMEMBER, we’re our worst critic!

Accentuate the positive. Don’t dwell on the negative. If you fail, or make a mistake, pick yourself up and move forward. Don’t get stuck in the past. Each day we have on earth is a gift. Cherish that! 

I’m so grateful for a Savior, for Jesus Christ. For His willingness and the decision that He made to atone for my sins. Elder Holland had a talk that mentioned us being in debt to Him. We indeed are in debt to our Savior Jesus Christ. He has already paid the price for us. All we need to do is to come unto Him, repent, and move forward. (2 Nephi 31:20)

I love that Heavenly Father knew we were going to need help (might I add, lots and lots of help). He knew what we were going to go through. What our temptations were going to be, the trials we would face, and the things we get to go through on this earthly life. It’s easy to forget this simple truth. It’s easy to forget that each one of us are beloved sons and daughters of a Heavenly Father who LOVES us so much. ♥️ don’t forget that!! Ever. 

No matter where I thought my life was going to go, He knows best. He knows the way. His son Jesus Christ is the way. (I am the way, the truth, and the life) John 14:6

I love how patient They are with me. They are waiting with open arms and love, wanting me to come back- to walk once again, the straight and narrow path. Matthew 7:13-14 they’re my constant cheerleaders, the ones I can go to any minute of the day and there will never be a busy signal, and the one who knows ME! Who knows what I want in life and how I can get there. We are taught to trust in Him- and He shall direct our paths (Proverbs 3:5-7)


It’s definitely not easy doing what’s right all the time and trusting God, but I am reminded of how much it’s worth it to do so. ♥️

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
