Finals....da da da....

So, finals are soon approaching. This Friday to be exact. I'm not really nervous considering that I have already taken two finals this semester. I'm just nervous that for some odd reason I'm not going to pass one of my classes, and then have to take them over again, and never graduate. (Dramatic, I know). But today is the last day of my classes, and I don't have class, I just have a practical final take. Yipee...... Anyways...wish me luck!

Easter Sunday

This Easter has been a good one for me. My parent's gave me The Princess and the Frog andThe Slipper and the Rose movies. They also gave me lots of "study" food, which is candy. Another thing that has made this Easter special is that I'm able to listen to General Conference and to listen to our church leaders. I love conference! Most importantly, I am reminded why I am here, and what the Savior has done for me. He died so that I could be able to live with Him again. He rose from the dead, which only one man could do so that I can be saved. What a precious and hard thing he had to do in order to do what His Father asked Him to do. Within one week, He introduced the sacrament, bled from every pore, was crucified, and was them resurrected. He did all of that....for us. What a great and humbling thing to think about. I'm grateful for this gospel, and for my Savior. He wants over me and knows my struggles, pains, sorrows, and weaknesses. He makes me stronger. I love Him, and I know he loves me. I know President Monson is here to lead and guide the church under Jesus Christ. These are my thoughts on this Easter Sunday. What a great day to reflect and to be humbled. Happy Easter everyone!

God Bless America

With all of the unsettling things that are going on in this Nation, my thoughts have turned back to our founding fathers. They wished our Nation to be free and to be organized by a government, but not controlled by the government. In these troubling times, my thoughts turn to the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Those documents aren't just words written on a piece of paper. They were written so that everyone who comes to America, and who are Americans, can know what freedoms and rights everyone has. The thing that keeps me positive about this Nation is what I believe, and what I have been taught. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has let us know that things will get much worse, but in the end we will win. The Lord is watching out of his righteous people, and knows what is happening in this Nation now. That brings me comfort. So, during these unsettling and unhappy times in America today, I say, "God, please bless America."
