oh my LANTA i havent blogged in 800 YEARS! so here we go. :)
Dear life,
you have really put me through the ringer since I last blogged.
but I wouldn't have it any other way. I have learned some of the most valuable lessons.
so some stuff happened in the second half of byui... but we'll just forget about that... hahaaha. ;)
Right after getting out of school though, my family picked me up and we were off to a Welch family reunion! So fun! I sure do love family.
Then after that I went straight to the Herbes family reunion. Fun stuff. Fun stuff.
Then I went home! Yaaaayy hooray. and Yikes.
Instead of really saying what happened, I think I'll write about everything I learned.
1. Heavenly Father puts certain people in our lives for a reason. Without the sweetest Ashley Spratling, I probably would have pulled ALL of my hair out. We were put together on our work crew for a reason. I LOVE HER!
2. Hard physical labor is good for the soul.
3. Crying is okay.
4. Forgiveness is vital in this here life. Sometimes we don't make the best decisions, but after they have already taken place, the only thing that can change it is repentance and forgiveness.
5. Ice cream is a gift from sweet heaven.
6. I deserve friends who want to be friends with me. And my friends deserve the same thing. It cannot be one-sided.. ever.evereverever!
7. Always stay close to the spirit.
8. Don't judge. We really have absolutely no idea what is really going on in certain situations.
9. God has a reason for allowing things to happen. We may never understand his wisdom; we simply have to trust his will.
10. No matter what the view looks like from our eyes, we need to be looking through God's eyes. We need to follow his will and keep an eternal perspective.
I say "we" in these, but really I mean me.:)
And thats enough about my three week break home!
Guess what now?? I'm a COUG! An official BYU student. Yay hooray!
So far since being up here... I've done a whole lot lot!
