Who you gunna call?

Dear You,

When things seem unbearable..

-->>Word vomit.
-->>Swear a little.
-->>Stop.
-->>Take a step back.
-->>Breath.
-->>Clear your mind.
-->>Surround yourself with good people.
-->>Don't forget to thank God for all you have.

It is all going to be okay.

AND/OR its going to work out the way its supposed to.

God wont give you anything you cant not handle with out his help & guidance.

Life throws many things our way. It is how we deal with those situations that defines who we are as people. 
(lol I couldn't hurt a fly, although in my mind things
play out differently some times than they do in real life..)


BOOM

[Word vomit.] Get it out. Get it off your chest. Do not I REPEAT do not bottle things up. Scream into your pillow. Yell in your car. Talk to some one who loves you & supports you in everything you do.

[Swear a little.] let out some aggression in a good way. ;)

STOP

STEP BACK

INHALE.. EXHALE

Think about nothing

[Communicate] TALK  TO SOME BODY - you will feel a lot better. Surround yourself with GENUINELY GOOD PEOPLE.


I have learned that I am not in the driver seat. 
I have learned that if I GIvE IT TO GOD .. It will be okay 
BUT there is a catch

y o u h a v e t o b e w i l l i n g 
To follow him & keep his commandments

IT WILL NOT BE EASY ALL OF THE TIME
[part of the reason we have the atonement to thank him for]

You must be submissive. 
You must be humble. 
You must go forth with faith & a happy spirit. 
Despite how ugly this world is..
The plan of HAPPINESS is anything but that. 

Give the man up stairs some credit. He loves you. He wants you to return home to live with him. You should fight for him as hard as he fights for you. 

Know your priorities. If they're alined with what God asks I promise you this..

You can make anything you want happen with his companionship. 

He can only dwell in the light

Abide With Me 'Tis Evntide

Dear You,

I recently came across a local blog of a young man by the name of Seth Adam Smith [ http://sethadamsmith.com/ ] It contains an amazing story of rebuilding life from a suicide attempt & all of the wonderful things he has done & aspires to accomplish. I am not much of a reader.. trust me when I say this is a good read. {worth your time}

I love the gospel of Jesus Christ. It brings my soul happiness.

There are many things I enjoy in life.. one of the main things I thoroughly enjoy is music.. ALL KINDS

I have to say some of my favorite songs come from the LDS Hymn Book.

-->> God be with you till we meet again
-->> Abide with me tis eventide

Both with be sung at my funeral.

One of my most favorite traditions that I have witnessed & had the opportunity to be apart of is singing God be with you till we meet again with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. They sing it after every performance to thank those visiting.. be it the audience or the amazing guest they had perform with them. It honestly I believe sums up & is a witness of Christ. There is nothing more wonderful than hearing or singing that song in ode to some one. Time stops for a moment & you feel wonderful. I know I tear up every time.

I came across this video tonight.. & I would have to thank Seth for posting in on one of his blogs.. {thankyou}

It is a video created by an artist who explains his paintings symbolism. It is quite profound & I much needed to hear the message. I have a new found respect for Howard Van Lyon & his art. [ http://fineart.howardlyon.com/ ]

Enjoy.

FAITH:

ALMA 32:21 Book Of Mormon
21. And now as I said concerning faith—afaith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith ye bhope for things which are cnot seen, which are true.

HEBREWS 11:1 New Testament - King James Version
 1. Now afaith is the bsubstance of things choped for, the devidence of things not seen.

Love actually

Dear You,

This is going to be random ramblings.. or ideas.. that have been floating around in my mind.

The difference between love.. & love actually. Everyone has their definitions.

1. It is interesting.. all my life I have loved people. Be it family, friends, boyfriends.. even strangers. I believe there are different levels of love. Some might say love is all the same.. so disagree away.. I welcome it.

2. Love all has the same basic idea of caring for some one in a way that seldom recognize & others ignore.

3. Selfishness demands, "What's in it for me?", while Love asks, "What can I give?"
