My Return

So I deleted my blog a long time ago. Well okay, not exactly along time ago, but enough that it's been a while.

I've gone through the roughest year in my life I think this year and what a ride it has been. I deleted my MySpace last year, got rid of my Facebook this year as well as my blog. But I think I'm back for blogging. I'm going to try and take it slow. I'm not sure how long I'll keep this one up. I might just delete it soon because I want to feel stable and like I know where my priorities are before I start this up again.

Anyways, I graduate from high school in two weeks. It's been absolutely crazy but I think I'm ready to be done and prepare for growing up some more over the summer. I'll be taking institute classes like crazy this summer and I cannot wait!! I have to speak at seminary graduation this upcoming Sunday, and I couldn't be more honored. That is such a wonderful opportunity that I would never pass up in my life. Seminary is a VERY HUGE part of my life and I'm really going to miss it.

I'm still learning a lot about who I really am, who I'm becoming, and who my Heavenly Father wants me to become. I'm really trying my hardest to trust in the Lord each and everyday. To pray with 'real intent' every morning and night and to not have 'vain repetitions'. I'm really into reading lately, and there are so many books I want to read. There's just so much going on in my life and in my mind right now, I almost feel out of control, but I know with the Lord on my side, and as long as I always continue to be faithful, he'll help me along the way. He'll support me in everything that I do and I know he'll always make sure I'm okay, instead of being upset and angry. I've learned that from seminary this year! My seminary teacher was just absolutely amazing this year! I had Brother Smith :) You've prolly heard of him through all of his hilarious cd's, or you've had him as something for EFY, or your very own seminary teacher. He's such a great guy, and I couldn't thank him more for how he has helped me.

I took my senior pictures yesterday, here are some of my favorites!

You always gotta have a HSM jump!

I almost fell in after this one :p

Me & My Temple ♥

Smelling the pretty flowers :)

The awesome fountain!

One of my favorite places to be :)

Anyways, after everything I've learned about this year is, when you're spiritually strong, the Lord will place things in your life only to grow even more. To me that means I was ready to grow, that there was room for more learning in my life this year. I'm really proud of how far I've come in my life, with 13 years of schooling, drama, sports, homework, family, medical trials, church, friends, etc. Like President Gordon B. Hinckley always said, "Things will work out. I always tell myself that everyday." & "Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured." :) He's such an inspiring man. Anyways, I'm really hoping this blog will turn out to be something inspiring for myself. We'll see how it goes. Anyways, keep your fingers crossed this week goes well! I'll post later. Toodles!
