Putting one foot in front of the other 👣🥳

As I reflect upon the last year of my life, there have been so many life lessons. I have been so blessed and grateful to be able to teach seminary here at Bear River. My students are amazing and my faculty is out of this world. Not only that, they are now my friends. 🥰 I have learned so much from each and every person that has entered into my life this year. They are the best of the best. ♥️ I love them all so much!

Yesterday I went to the seminary: I packed up my classroom and office, turned in my key, visited with students, and my fellow teacher friends, took lots of pictures, and said goodbye. It was HARD. Seeing some of my students and teachers was a beautiful experience. I was a little melancholy and sad to close this chapter, but it’ll be something I will treasure forever. The memories and experiences will always live on! 

I have gained so much! So many friendships, my gospel knowledge that has increased, how I’ve become a better teacher, but more importantly, a better individual and daughter of God. My heart is so full. Knowing what I know now, and even though I did not get hired- I’d do this whole experience over again in a heartbeat, just so I could meet all my new friends 🥰👏🏻

2 things I would tell my students to remember : #1 God is aware of you #2 He loves you! If you can remember those two things than everything will be ok! I don’t know what my next step is. 🤷🏻‍♀️😂 But I’m taking my own advice. 👆🏻One thing I do know, is that I’m exactly where God wants me to be and for now, that’s all the reassurance I need . ♥️#tooblessedtobestressed #godhasaplan #trustHim

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
