sunday thoughts

first things first,
happy sunday

It has been a while since I've posted and I have had so many ideas spinning around my head but until today nothing seemed to really come together, & I figure if people are going to spend time reading this I should try to make it worth their time

I like to write a lot about my life, my experiences, and things I love so today here is just a little glimpse into my current thoughts

I saw this quote a few days ago:

 & I really kind of liked it because well, it's so true and so applicable to my life right this second.

Freshman year is now over and I'm back at my house in my own room. In fact I have the entire basement to myself and for some reason that is suddenly so lonely. I miss my roommate. I miss having someone to hang out with literally 24/7. I'm not exaggerating, we had classes together, we hung out almost every single night and every weekend. [did I mention I miss my roommate?] however she is still in Provo for the next handful of weeks so I sense an unreasonable gas bill coming up and I honestly don't even mind.

As for the "refocus on where you are headed" part of things, I've realized some things about life.

1. Heavenly Father is there for you but you do need to do your part. For a while I two as feeling so frustrated like I wasn't receiving answers or direction and I made a huge realization today, I am really not putting forth the effort I need to be to receive answers I need. I am not studying them out and putting scripture study, prayers, and service first in my daily routines...frequently it's been more of a "shoot I'm going to bed let me read a little bit before I fall asleep" [come on we've all been there] & that isn't how it should be.

& 2. Don't worry about what other people are telling you.

That is has been a HUGE deal for me especially lately with missions, school, and just life plans in general. I might post more on that later, but for now I think this post is long enough.


happy sunday everyone (:
