Tender mercies and BFF’s!

These 2 beauties are the BEST friends anyone could ask for. I met Amy and her family in kindergarten and we’ve been the best of friends ever since. We make time for each other, both give 100%, and are there for each other. It really has been the most PERFECT friendship. 

During this whole pandemic, Amy, Emily, and I have done daily scripture study over zoom. There have been a couple days where we haven’t had it, but we’ve been going strong for the past couple months. Being able to read the scriptures, share our testimonies and life experiences, as well as lifting one another up, has been amazing. 🙏🏻 We’re there for each other. We strengthen each other, and we understand and are there for one another.

Lately I have felt a disconnect between God and I. I don’t know how to describe it, but this morning Amy shared an experience and she said all the right things I needed to hear. She was crying, I was crying, and sweet Emily was just taking it all in. It was exactly what I needed to hear the moment I needed it. 😭♥️ I was filled with the Holy Ghost and was reminded just how much God does love me. He knows where I am in life, He has something wonderful prepared for me. I just need to hold on. 

It was such a tender mercy! 1 Nephi 1:20 was the scripture that popped into my head as Amy was sharing. It says “... But behold, I, Nephi, will show unto you that the tender mercies of the Lord are over all those whom he hath chosen, because of their faith, to make them mighty even unto the power of deliverance.”

I’m so grateful that Heavenly Father blesses us with friends. Those that love and accept you no matter what. Truth is, we need each other. God knew I needed Amy and Emily and their families in my life. What a ride it’s been! I know God knows you. He cares about the little things that YOU care about and He loves you so much. Just look around, I promise you’ll feel it. ♥️

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
