One of the biggest blessings

Moms are the best.
And my mom is THE best mom. Ever. Hands down.
I had my world turned upside down last night.
I called my mom as soon I could this morning.
I cried a lot.
She told me to cry as much as I wanted.
I got out of bed, showered and went to class.
When class was over, I called my mom.
"Where are you at?" she said.
"What do you mean?" I said.
"I'm on campus!" she said.
Right then and there I broke into full on tears.
My mom drove two hours to hug me and take me to lunch.
Because she is the best mom.
She is my best friend.
I love my mom.
So much.

Oakcrest Blessing

So I love Oakcrest. It is seriously one of the greatest places on earth. But the only hard thing about it is that we can't come in contact with our girls after camp. So I don't ever talk to my campers.

Well today I got a text from my mom asking if I had a camper named Allie. And I did. Guys! She is on my sister's basketball team! She saw my sister and thought, "Oh, she looks like One D" and asked my sister if she had a sister who worked at Oakcrest! This is the best day ever!

She is even wearing her camp shirt!!!

I am so happy I could cry!

We All Have a Fairy Tale

Everyone wants that perfect fairy tale ending. But sometimes roadblocks show up and keep us from what we believe is our "Happily Ever After." What we don't understand is that it is Heavenly Father guiding us to our real happily ever after because He knows what it is. 

Dieter F. Uchtdorf is THE man and even though this talk was given at a General Young Womens meeting, it applies to everyone.

I. Love. It.

Because Some Days I Follow the Crowd

The lovely Kim 'Sharkbait' Pace did a Music Monday post and I am going to do one too because I have been listening to the same 4 songs today.

Chocolate--The 1975

Migraine--Twenty One Pilots

Roar--Katy Perry

Shiver Shiver--Walk The Moon

The last few hours have been a rough few hours. I am definitely lost and confused. I don't know what to do again. I'm stuck at that starting gate. But as I was reading my scriptures tonight, I read a verse that I had highlighted earlier this week while at the temple:

"...all this because that Nephi was more faithful in keeping the commandments of the Lord--therefore he was favored of the Lord, for the Lord heard his prayers and answered them..." - Mosiah 10:13

Seriously. Heavenly Father knows exactly what I need, when I need it. As long as I keep the commandments of the Lord and remain faithful, He will answer my prayers. He will always be there when I need help or comfort. He will make my burdens seem light. He will show me that light at the end of the tunnel. I am so thankful for a Heavenly Father who knows me, loves me and is mindful of me. 

"...peace be unto thy soul; thine adversity and thine afflictions shall be but a small moment." - D&C 121:7
