It's Not The End

I love this video so much. This man, this story, is such a great example of strength and willingness to be like our Father in Heaven as well as Jesus Christ. My favorite part in this video is when Chris says, "I’m grateful that God allows tragedies and trials to occur in our lives, not because their easy or because their desired, but because they help us love."

This is something that I struggle with. In the moment of all the trials and tragedies that I am faced with in my life, it's sometimes hard for me to stay strong. Sometimes it's just easier to feel angry or sad. It's easier to lay in bed all day instead of face the coming day. I am so grateful for videos like this that help me to put things into perspective. 

We are only given things that the Lord knows we can handle. With His help, nothing is impossible. In the end, everything will be fine. If it's not fine, it's not the end.

Words To Live By...

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don’t worry. I say that to myself every morning. It will all work out. If you do your best, it will all work out. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. … If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers." 

- Gordon B. Hinckley

Time Definitely Flies!

Wow, time really does fly these days. I feel like I was just on here and I checked the date of my last post and it was back in...July? What?!?! Life is crazy, but when is it not? I am starting BYU-I in January and am so excited, but absolutely nervous at the same time. I will miss my friends and family a lot but am looking forward to meeting new people.

This past week my grandfather passed away. He was one of the few true cowboys left. His funeral was this past Saturday, Nov. 3. At first I wasn't ready to deal/recognize it. There are feelings inside me with death and dying that I don't really like to confront ever since my dad passed. I wasn't too thrilled about bring those feelings back to the present. I wasn't excited about all the memories, that were sure to come to me about my father's death and funeral, while I was at my grandpa's funeral. It was definitely a hard weekend for me, I was sad that I lost my grandpa, but I was also re-living, in my head, the horrific time in my life when I lost my wonderful father.

I love my grandpa and I will miss him dearly. I know that he is up there with my dad and all those that have passed before us and I am positive that's a better place than here. :)
