D&C 39:7-9

I have been thinking about blogging lately. I usually have these ideas pop up in my head, and i say, "That would be a good thing to blog about" and then i continue on with my day. So i do have the intention of blogging more, my time just puts a little pause on that intent. Oh boy!!! I am a new and improved woman!! I went through the Draper temple yesterday, to receive my endowments! YES! It happened, and i couldn't be happier. I feel like my entire life has finally landed on the right path. I have always loved the Church, the Gospel has been a roller coaster in my life though. I had to find out for myself if the Gospel was true. I can now say with a profound solid stance in my heart and mind that The Gospel of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints IS the TRUE gospel that was restored by Joseph Smith. I know that God has a marvelous work and glory in store for me. Because of the choices i made yesterday, i can feel the love of my Savior in my heart. I know that i am on the right path to receiving the benefits of living my life according to the doctrines of God. I have never felt the spirit of my Heavenly father so strongly before. There is no doubt in my mind that i will be in the Celestial Kingdom with my friends and family. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the bind needed on the books of life. There cannot be a single book that holds together without a binding. And adding the Gospel to ones life will do that, it is a Binding agent that can be applied and will hold a life together. It has taken me a while to figure this out, but now that i have, i feel free! There have been many people in my life that have thrown doubts at me, they have said i would never make it. They have even warned others of who i was. There is one thing i can tell you from that, I am no longer THAT person. I have become a better, stronger, more spiritual Sarah. I cannot change the choices i have made in my past. I choose to live in the future and to move forward with faith. I keep my testimony close to me, i keep it strong too. If there is a soul out there who needs to hear it, i will tell it. I will not lower myself to help someone who thinks they are better than me. I have come to realize that I need to stop trying to figure out my future. I am like that little kid on christmas who tries to find all the presents. Of which, i have actually done, it ended in disappointment because i knew what i was getting, so it was no longer fun. I am not saying that if i knew what my future held, it would not be fun...but if i knew, there would be no point in being here on earth. I cannot control what happens to me, but i can control where i go. I know that as long as i am going in the right direction, Heavenly Father will bless my life with what happens to me.

The title of this post has to do with what happened to me on Sunday, during sacrament. I was sitting there, and usually i just stare at the backs of peoples heads and think about what i would do to make it look better, but this time..i whipped out my phone and selected the scriptures D&C. I slid my finger up and down the screen a few times, fast enough that i couldn't see what the chapters were, then i just hit the screen with my finger and this was the chapter i landed on.

Cool huh?! Another sure sign, that this is the true Gospel!!!

2011 review

I would say 2011 wasn't full of my best memories. I would say 2011 was full of lots of heartache, but with heartache comes strength. I learned a lot about myself, a lot about where i need to be, and a lot about what i deserve in life. A year of strengthening must have been needed to prepare me for the times ahead. I wish i could say I'm done with being broken down just to be built back up stronger. I wish i could say I'm done with the heartaches, long cries, and sleepless nights. I wish i could say my life is complete. But it isn't. My life is far from complete. Im 24 and ready to take on the world with the armor I've gathered along this past year. I know who i am. I know what i want. I know where I'm going in life. For the first time i could say I'm on my path and I'm finally happy with it. This year i plan on continuing my life surrounded with my family and friends. I plan on going through the temple to receive my endowments..which i will be able to see my brother and his fiancé get sealed. I am super excited for it!! I also plan on graduating cosmetology school at the end of November. I do have the Goal of bettering myself with my relationships. My mind is more clear. I find even recently i have been able to rid myself of poisonous relationships before they begin. I have also been able to seek out those who i deserve to have in my life. I am ready for 2012. This year is going to be good, i can tell.

The beginning. Kind Of.

I use to have a bunch of posts before this one. Then i tried to have a new blog, one that was totally new. New email and everything. Then i discovered that the new blogs wont let you put a cute template on the background, so i reverted back to my old one and deleted my old posts. Why? because i can. Because i have this aching feeling that i need change. I need to start fresh, i need to let go of the old and start with something new. I deleted my Facebook (GASP!) and started texting people. Eventually i will start calling people, like we use to when we were younger. Or even walk to their house and just knock on their door!!! But that one is a long ways down the road. So here i am. New. Kind of.

Have you ever tried to tame a zillion flies? Yes, a zillion. Sounds impossible right? At least thats what my first thought was. Actually that was what one of my zillion thoughts were. I have a zillion thoughts flying around in my head, like a zillion flies. I try meditation every now and then, but they always seem to come back. They come back more and more it seems like. Thats another reason why i was on a long dry spell of writing. I had so many thoughts that when i would sit down to write, they would all come flying to my fingers at once, i just froze. They still do, but i am just writing as it comes. So bare with me on my kind of new first blog post. At least new with the newness of it being written with a different version of me.

The name of this blog is actually quite funny, only because i am not simple. I am actually probably one of the most complicated persons you will have ever know of in your life. I change my mind within seconds. I can be happy one minute, and overruled by madness the second. I can be sweet, but not fake, unless its towards the right people. I have a dry sense of humor, but to me i am the funniest person alive! Getting emotion is hard when its written, so when i try to be funny i use "!!!" Most people do, but i will sometimes use the amount of "!" to explain how funny it is. So when you see "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" that means its extremely funny, or extremely important. Well folks, this is it for now. Me, un-simply written in the beginning. Kind of.
