Where can I turn for peace?
Where is my solace
When other sources cease to make me whole?
When, with a wounded heart, anger, or malice
I draw myself apart searching my soul?

Where, when my aching grows?
Where, when I languish?
Where, in my need to know?
Where can I run?
Where is the quiet hand to calm my anguish?
Who, who can understand?
He, only One.

He answers privately.
Reaches my reaching.
In my Gethsemane, Savior, and friend.
Gentle, the peace He finds
For my beseeching.
Constant He is, and kind.
Love without end.

Help me get through this week.

The Lord, our Savior and Redeemer

Absolutely incredible.

I am so thankful for the Gospel.

I am so thankful for a Savior and Redeemer.

Wedding Monday

I am obsessed. The end.

Fabulous Friday

{ Nothing better than feeling like a million bucks on a sunny friday afternoon }

Here's to the weekend XoXo

No Time

My life is incredibly busy. All day. Every day.

WHY!?

It is only the freakin' second week of winter semester.

I feel like I am going full force all day and have one million things to check off the to do list.

There are many things that have happened too:

- Derek is finally in Mexico. Yay! He definitely isn't in a richy rich town anymore.

- This weekend was full of celebrations and happenings.

{Amber's birthday, Cafe Rio, BYU Hockey game, stoplight dance, dinner with cousins, epic shopping spree, sleepover in the kitchen, etc.}

- No sleep

- 3 day weekend

- Starting to think about housing for next semester which is ridiculous.

-The above statement has caused tension in our apartment.

-Now taking Zumba, Yoga, and Abs That Rock classes here at the Y.

...and honestly so much more.

Life is crazy. Boys are crazy. All the freshman boys wanna do is ncmo everyone they can.

Ew.

Can we have some class please? Thanks. Some guys are so desperate that they go for girls that aren't even remotely their type just to get some action. Really now? That is saying something about your character. You have to go for the biggest whore of our freshman ward just because you want some? Wow. There is a reason why her nickname is "crazy and easy" or "the slut".

Guys are just ridiculous sometimes. It irks me that people go for the slutty type. Why? Is that honestly attractive? Guys get your priorities straight please.

Till next time. XoXo

Sunday Bliss

Me and my roommates were talking about our favorite hymns and this was mentioned multiple times. I just love how hymns can bring the Spirit into any meeting and how you can be so overpowered with the Spirit when you sing any hymn. In this video they sound like angels! It makes me think about when we will sing praises to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, rejoicing in Him, and how amazing that will be one day. Hymns have such power that no other way can bring about.

I love going to church here at BYU. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is the same wherever you go no matter what country, race, ethnicity, gender, or political stance you/where you live has. That is the amazing thing about it. It knows no boundaries. The Gospel is spreading to every single part of the world with the help of the missionaries. I am so thankful for those serving out in every country spreading the happiness and joy that is the Gospel.

I am so thankful to be a member of this Gospel. I love going to church every sunday. It honestly is such a spiritual feast! I went every sunday back home, but when you are on your own it is different. You are responsible for getting up and going each week. Here, it just is amazing how much I have learned about the Gospel that I have grown up with my whole life. The Gospel brings pure joy! I love everything about it.

Jesus is the Savior and Redeemer of this world and is our elder brother. He knows everything we can ever go through and knows how to get us from point A to point B. The Atonement is infinite and can cure every worldy sorrow we encounter. The Book of Mormon is true and was divinely inspired. Joseph Smith went through what he did so he could bring about the true and everlasting gospel. He wouldn't have done it otherwise! The Gospel is true in every facet and I am forever grateful that it is in my life.

Happy Sunday

Runnin' through ma head

So many thoughts. So many things to blog about. So many things that have happened since New Years.

-spent the last few days at home with the fam

- had tons of fun playing board games with the said above people

- said goodbye to missionary friends

- laundry, packing, and flying in a plane

- came back to PROVO.

-moved, cleaned, and unpacked for 24 hours

- said a hateful goodbye to Helaman Halls

-moved into our beautiful new apartment

-enjoyed unpacking our lives again

-started school : one class today, made dinner, organized kitchen, put up christmas tree

- sent Derek a package

-semi started to already despise the snow

-LOVED PENROSE

Just random thoughts and things that have happened the past three days.

Thought a lot about dear Derek.

I miss him terribly. Especially during the holidays. I definitely have a soft spot for him. (:

Another thing that I have thought a lot about : marriage.

Why? I don't know.

Being at BYU does that to a person. {Curse those cute bridal magazines everywhere}

Also with Derek gone I have thought about it a lot more.

Do I really wanna marry him? Is he "The One"? Should we get married when he gets back?

It just is complicated. I don't wanna get married just because we have been dating so long.

I want it to be because it is supposed to be that way.

But I do want to .

You can see why it is complicated.

I just want to be married.

Honestly.

I want that person to come home to every day and have fun with.

I want that companionship.

I want that love.

I know I am young and I don't wanna get married asap. No No.

But I do want that for sure.

Ohhhh someday. But it will be a great day lemme tell ya.

Here's to a new year!
