Happy Father’s Day 🤠

 Where do I begin? Happy Father’s Day 🤠  I feel a lot like the prophet Nephi. I too have been born of goodly parents. ♥️ I seriously have been blessed with two of the best and I’m so grateful that Heavenly Father let me be their daughter. ♥️

I was talking to my dad the other day on the phone and we were talking about how hard the job search has been and how the trials of life have just been rough. The more we talked the more grateful I became. Over the years my dad has always been someone I could talk to. With his career in truck driving, we have had lots of opportunities to just talk to each other for hours. In college, in the morning, the afternoon, the night- I know I could always call my corn pops 😘 (same goes for my mother)

At the end of our conversation my dad and I had a couple days ago, my dad said, “Keep your chin up, everything will work out. God will not fail you.” 

As soon as we ended the conversation those words were just stuck in my head and I was so overcome with emotion. God will not fail you. I immediately started praying to my Heavenly Father and thanked Him. I knew He would not fail me. I knew He had a plan for me. I knew it was going to be OK and things were going to work out. 🙏🏻 I knew He was aware of me and I was just so overcome with gratitude for my earthly father and my Heavenly Father. ♥️ 

Life has a funny way of reminding you of the things that matter most. I’m so grateful for the hard things. I’m grateful for my father in heaven and for my dad. I’m so blessed to have amazing examples in my life and for the person I’ve become through these amazing people in my life. 

Cowboy movies are one of my dad’s favorite things so with that being said-🤠 John Wayne said “courage is being scared to death and saddling up anyway.” 

Life is good. God is great. All things will work out! ♥️ To all the fathers, brothers, husbands, grandpa’s, uncles, brother in laws, and friends- Happy Father’s Day!

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
