You're worth it

Image
It was beginning to be one of those days. Couldn't find my glasses, locked my keys in my car, the shower nozzle broke and water got EVERYWHERE, cut my finger. Who let all the monkeys out of the cage?! SERIOUSLY?! I hate those days. Not only that, a particular person in my life was being hard on me and making me feel like an idiot. Whether or not that was their intention, I was starting to believe it. It all hit at once and it felt like too much to bear. Since crawling into bed and disappearing for a couple decades wasn't an option (I'd rather not sleep through the end of my twenties, I think they have lots of potential) I knelt down to pray. All I could say was "God, tell me I'm not an idiot. I just need to feel like I'm worth something." Almost instantly all those bad feelings went away and I felt, no, I KNEW I was important. Even if nobody else loved me (don't worry, I know I'm loved ❤️) I KNEW God loved me unconditionally. He knows my poten...

The Down Escalator

As I was flipping through a book today something it talked about caught my eye. The woman was talking about strengths and weaknesses. We all know how easy it is to find fault in ourselves. It's easy to say I'm too this or not enough this. Finding strengths can be trickier. She mentioned how she went to her patriarchal blessing (a blessing members of the LDS church receive that is guidance from God, spoken through a priesthood holder) and as she read it she noticed that it mentioned many of her strengths and only a few weaknesses. So I went and read mine and found the same thing. Then the little starfish in my head said "if God focuses more on my strengths than on my weaknesses, maybe I should do that too." More often than not, as we build upon our strengths and leave our little box of weaknesses on the bench next to us, those weaknesses will take care of themselves. It's like a cut.

Termites and Midnights and Night Lights

Hi! It has been too long. I've been...well I could say busy but I'd be lying. Actually I've been lazy and boring and that means watching lots of episodes of F R I E N D S , eating mac and cheese for breakfast, and taking naps in the sun . No one wants to hear about that. But I did do some fun things =) 1) B I O L O G Y I decided to take Biology this summer. Now, for those who don't know, Math and Science are the names of those two little demons in Disney's Hercules movie...at least in my mind. So Biology is my LAST general core class at BYU. Most people take it their 1st semester of college and I'm taking it my senior year. I've been dreading it. Well, so far it has been surprisingly enjoyable. We read a book called Voo doo Sci ence (I know, I know) and it was really cool. Now we are reading a book about decisions and it has guys blowing up missiles and fire figh ters in action. It rocks! Don't worry, it gets better. Today we played with TERMITES ...
