3- Leave a comment saying you did those things, along with a guess of what the prize could be!
Ready, Set, GO!!!!! I will pick the winner Friday Jan 27th!
I have been contemplating on whether or not I should continue this blog. I have wondered is anyone really even reads it. So if you do read it, please make a commment. I received a comment on an older post a few days ago, and it seems to be from someone I do not know, they commented on how a post helped them. And I found comfort in knowing that. So, do they help you? Do they uplift your soul?
And also, I am not asking this because I do not get comments on my posts. I am asking because I have looked up the stats on this blog, and it shows that most times, only 1 or 2 people read it. So I am just wondering if it is serving the purpose I have hoped it would. Lifting the souls of those who read it. If it even lifts one, then it does serve its purpose. I just want to make sure.
My break from this blog has been too long. And I hope to be better with this blog in 2012.
As I reflect on what I learned in church today, I find myself humbled and more thankful for the life I have. I know that my Savior loves me. He loves us all unconditionally. He loves us so much that he suffered for our sins, and died so that we can live again. He is my Master and I will follow him. It is through him that I can be saved. It is his love that will carry me through harder times. It is by serving others on this earth that I can become more like him.
I heard a story of someones personal struggle today. And as I listened, I felt the perfect love that Jesus has for all of us. He is aware of our pains and sufferings. And he is there for us in all our times of need. We are never alone. Never.
Remember, He knows your name. He knows who you are, and he loves you.
You know the type of friend you always want. The type that when they hear you are crying, they will come and hold you, or call you. The type that when you are upset about something, you call them. The type of friend that does not wait to be asked for help. The type of friend that just does it. That is the type of friend I always try to be. And I am so glad I have a friend like that. She may live miles and miles away, but she is there for me. And I am so thankful for her.

This blog is to help life souls. Today there a soul that has needed some lifting, my own. This song has been in my head all day. I don't like it when I feel down. And it is usually no one else's fault but my own. I just get in a funk and get lost there. I cry and get angry and I snap at the ones I love. My patience is thin and I feel like I want to crawl out of my skin. These kind of days are not fun at all. I want them gone, and buried deep.
I have struggled with my image since I had my first child. I grew up being the kind of girl that could inhale an entire pizza without a thought or care, because there was no consequence. I did not need to watch what I ate or worry about how many calories I ate each day. But now............ well that carefree part of my life is over. Oh how I took for granted the scrumptiousness of my youth!
Not only has my image been a struggle, I struggle with missing a dear friend. You know who you are. I miss this friend like crazy, and seriously long for the day when we can laugh and hug and just talk to each other face to face. I seriously miss you!
There are also times when I know I have failed at being a mother. I hate those moments when I know I have gotten angry when I shouldn't. And when that happens I feel so defeated and troubled. Sometimes I wish I lived near a warm sandy beach so I could just go take a breath, watch the sun go down and unwind. But I can't even go on my back porch without freezing to death! Oh Utah, we have a love hate relationship.
So now the question is, when we feel like this, how do we get ourselves out of it? How do we slap ourselves in the face and say, GET OVER IT! It is a simple answer, but not always an easy action. Give our troubles to the Lord. And we need to remember what matters most. This next video I have on here is one that lifted my soul today. I hope know that you are loved. And remember that there are things that matter more than our weight, how much money we have, how big our house is, if we have nice cars or whether we can afford nice clothes or not. There are things that matter far more than all those things. And if we can give our troubles to the Lord, he will help remind us of those things.
