Putting one foot in front of the other

I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting on this last year of my 25 year old self. As I was going to go get my temple recommend renewed, it HIT me that on my 26th Birthday, today, it will have been 4 years since I went through the temple and received my own endowment. My personal GIFT from Heavenly Father. It’s been a crazy 4 years. I was 22 at the time, dating my first boyfriend, and in school. Life was crazy and blissful. Now, 4 years later, I’m single, still going to school, (graduating next semester) and life is still crazy and blissful. I was still wondering what to do with my life and where I was going then, just as I am now. One thing I knew though, was that God was and is aware of me. He knew what needed to happen for me to grow and become better. For me to progress and learn.

Every year at Deseret book when graduation approached, we always received a bunch of these books “Oh the places you’ll go” by Dr. Seuss.


Here I am, 4 years later, and I still do not have a clue sometimes. 🤦🏻‍♀️ There are moments, that I am as confused as ever with no direction as to what to do and where to go. It frustrates me so much.  😂 I have felt, as of late, that I feel like I am standing before a brick wall. It goes as high and as wide as I can see. I can see over it, can’t see around it.. see where I am going with this? It’s been so frustrating and hard to want to see and know of the plan that God has for me. BUT- I am completely okay with not knowing. I’ve decided to ENJOY every second of my life. Not tomorrow or a few weeks down the road, but TODAY. Be happy NOW! Remember, God cannot steer a parked car! Put it in drive and start going!

The song “how firm a foundation” pops into my head:” Fear not, I am with thee; oh, be not dismayed. For I am thy God and will still give thee aid. I’ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand, upheld by my righteousness.... omnipotent hand.”

No matter the places you decide to go, one thing I do know, is that my Heavenly Father loves me. He is guiding my feet and will be with me throughout my entire journey. He hasn’t forgotten me or neglected to bless me, and he hasn’t forgotten YOU. In time, as we wait upon the Lord, and keep His commandments, He will bless us with our hearts desires. He hears our prayers and answers them, He wants the best for us, and He guides us to where we should be. ♥️

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
