Faith

"Seeing is believing, but sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."--The Conductor from The Polar Express

Last night, I watched The Polar Express. It is one of my favorite Christmas movies ever. As I have reflected on the recent events and changes in my life, this quote really hit home for me. A lot of things have not been in my favor lately. I have been struggling to be happy and understand that Heavenly Father is in control and that what he is doing will make me happy. Sometimes it is good to have a reminder that Heavenly Father loves me and cares about me and knows what is best for me and what will make me happy. I just need to have faith in Him and His timing.

"And now as I said concerning faith--faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true."--Alma 32:21

"Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou has seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed."--John 20:29

"And now, I, Moroni, would speak somewhat concerning these things; I would show unto the world that faith is things which are hoped for and not seen; wherefore, dispute not because ye see not, for ye receive no witness until after the trial of your faith."--Ether 12:6

Forget Me Not

There are some things in my life that I need to remember and continuously need to learn about. 

Music Monday

Today, the new One Direction album Midnight Memories was released :)

Here are a few of my favorites so far:

"Don't you feel so good? You just drowned someone!"--Liisa

Sometimes drawing faces on rocks and throwing them in First Dam is really fun.
My awesome roommate, Liisa with two i's, showed this to me.
Liisa is a genius.
I know that sounds really mean and all.
But really.
You should try it sometime.

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.
