you know what.

I'm okay.

:)

hmm. i like this.

"I find the whole concept of being ‘sexy’ embarrassing and confusing. If I do an interview with photographs people desperately want to change me – dye my hair blonder, pluck my eyebrows, give me a fringe. Then there’s the choice of clothes. I know everyone wants a picture of me in a mini-skirt. But that’s not me. I feel uncomfortable. I’d never go out in a mini-skirt. It’s nothing to do with protecting the Hermione image. I wouldn’t do that. Personally, I don’t actually think it’s even that sexy. What’s sexy about saying, ‘I’m here with my boobs out and a short skirt, have a look at everything I’ve got?’ My idea of sexy is that less is more. The less you reveal the more people can wonder."

We need more good examples for younger kids these days. Actually, she's an example to me! Jeni reminds me every day that I'm technically still a "teen" though :)

Peace.

easiness.

It doesn't matter how efficient it is. What matters is that you are where God wants you to be and where He needs you to be at that time, and it doesn't matter if that moment lasts two minutes or two years.

wow. incredible.

I am so grateful I drove just five minutes down the street yesterday to hear and listen to this because I wasn't going to. I feel so loved by my Heavenly Father, and I am so happy! Love.

Also. Can you smell the air? Can you feel the service-minded people? Maybe you can't, but I am sooo ready for it. I can just imagine it now.



it's only three minutes and thirteen seconds.

For unto you this day is born a Savior, and He shall be called Jesus Christ. His name shall be called wonderful, the Mighty God, the Prince of Peace.

He lives.

sunday.

"When you are physically sick, tired, or in despair, steer your thoughts away from yourself and direct them, in gratitude and love, toward God. In your life there have to be challenges. They will either bring you closer to God and therefore make you stronger, or they can destroy you. But you make the decision of which road you take...If someone hurts you so much that your feelings seem to choke you, forgive and you will be free again. " --Elder Busche

Today is a day of remembrance--something that is very important in our lives. It is the anneversary of a life changing, horribly tragic event. I encourage you to not only remember those who have died for our country, but to remember who you are--a Spirit child of Heavenly Father, having lived for thousands of years. Remember why you are here on Earth. Remember the plan of salvation--remember where all who died ten years ago today have gone. Remember how deeply Heavenly Father loves you, and how deeply He loves all of His children. I testify that those who died on this day are well cared for now. I know that we will see our loved ones again. I have felt the piercing Spirit testify that I will see my loved ones again. That I will live with them again. That Heavenly Father loves them and takes care of them. That knowledge brings me great happiness.

Namaste :)

sunday.

“Testimony isn't something you have today, and you are going to have always. A testimony is fragile. It is as hard to hold as a moonbeam. It is something you have to recapture every day of your life.” --Harold B. Lee
