Be the Change

In this world I feel like there is so much bogging me down and pulling me so many different ways.

There are things telling me I need to think this mainstream way and if I don't then I am wrong. 

That I need to believe what everyone else believes or I'm the bad in this world.

There is so much hate, anger and complete chaos dragging so many people to pick a side or to turn against each other.

What I know is that the hate that is being spread is ridiculous.

Hate gays, hate Christians, hate blacks, hate whites, hate cops, hate Trump, hate Clinton, hate, hate, hate.

Hate only breeds hate, it CANNOT EVER breed love or true understanding.

So why are we all fighting trying to make everyone think one certain way? 

We are unique we have FREE AGENCY for a reason.

Our souls will tell us if we are doing what is right. You CAN feel it in your soul.

So why can't we work together? Why can't we teach love, not point fingers at one another?
In some books that I've read it has taught me to never blame anyone else for my problems, the person you should always hold accountable is yourself. DON'T blame anyone else except yourself for what is happening and you will always be in control of your life and happiness.

Teach love. Teach happiness, Be Happy. Be a Light in a world of darkness.

Hate will continue to grow unless we turn to love.

Love will conquer hate.

I felt the need to write about this because it has been really dragging me down.

We are better then this.

We are stronger then this.

Why are we stooping so low?

Please just stop hiding behind your computer or even rallying to go up against someone else.

Haven't you ever heard that you will catch more bears with honey then with vinegar?

Just stop it.
Hate less, love more, and truly seek to understand others and you will find happiness.

Remembering Who We Are

"You have forgotten who you are and so have forgotten me. Look inside yourself, Simba. You are more than what you have become."

Disney has such profound one liners that get you really thinking.
I think a lot of people, in Utah specifically, forget who they are.
They have forgotten God.

In the picture above, Christ cannot force himself into your life. YOU have to invite him in.

If you take a long hard look inside yourself you will remember and you will want to let him in.

I have experienced this in my past I shut out Christ.
I thought I would be better on my own.
It is only when I fully let him back in that I realized how much I missed him.
How my soul had been aching to feel that pure love again.
He is the one who made me whole again after being broken.
He has so much love for me, and he never left, he waited for me to open that door and welcome him in.
He saw how he could help me and all I had to do was give him the okay.

I remember in Sunday school when I was about 10 that my teacher held up a long string and then tied a knot in it.
The knot was towards the beginning of the string; it represented our life on earth, and she said something along the lines of, "Do you want to mess up the rest of your eternity for your decisions in this life?" 

We are human and we ALL make mistakes.
Everyone has that one sin that they can't easily shake, and when we fail time and time again it is easy to lose hope, but you can't lose hope because through the atonement of Christ ANYTHING is possible.

One of the many reasons we are here in this life is to find peace within ourselves.
We can overcome it all with the help of a Perfect being.

I am so grateful for Christ; I know that he would have made that sacrifice for just me.
It is mind boggling, but I know he loves me and loves each person on this earth and would do the same for each one of them individually.
He wants us to succeed and to find happiness.
It is easy to sin, it is easy to forget to read your scriptures, or to pray.
I am GUILTY of each.
I sometimes find myself dreading church but I owe it to Christ to give it my best and that is all he asks of any of us.



The Lord is my Shepherd.
