it is well with my soul.

i'm walking on sunshine. i'm walking on sunshine.

i figured it was about time for my less-than-regular update on my life.
and guess what?

i'm walking on sunshine.


you know what? if there's anything that i've learned in this past little while, it's that this is true. i don't know if i had ever really felt like this was true for me. sure, i know that God hears my prayers. but more often than not, i didn't really feel like He was answering them. and it's probably my fault for not paying closer attention.
but here i am to tell you that what i once felt, is the farthest thing from the truth now.

lately, i've made it a point in my life to be good. to be different. to be what i know i can and am capable of. i'm changing things in my life. from the experience of the once tried-and-failed attempts of doing so, i can tell you that this is the reason for my happiness. God is directing more of your life than you think He is.

one of my favorite quotes lately goes a little something like this:
"happiness is like a butterfly. the more you chase it, the more it will elude you. but as soon as you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder."

kinda cheesy, no? but guess what? i am here to tell you that is more than the truth. i've found that because i am not chasing happiness, it just so happened to fall right in my lap.

i've been learning a lot about myself lately and about the things in store for my life. and what's reassuring is knowing that God can and is going to make more out of my life than i could ever hope.
i'm excited.
i'll find myself kinda stressed, with a lot of homework, reading piling up, and the really early shift at work...and yet, i am still smiling. one of these days, maybe i'll go into further details about why i'm so very happy. there's not really one specific reason, but many. 

God has been unjustly good to me. 



"For verily I say unto you, that great things await you;"
Doctrine and Covenants 45:62


guess what guys? i'm brunette again!



read this:


watch this:

"this is life, people! you got air coming through your nose. you gotta heartbeat. that means it's time to do something! a poem- "two roads diverged into a wood, and i took the road less traveled." but what if there really were two paths? then i'd want to be in the one that leads to awesome. we've got work to do. you can either cry about it...or you can dance about it. you were made to be awesome. it's everybody's duty to give the world a reason to dance. so get to it."  





just remember- the best has yet to come.
