We are blinded by our passions in our every day lives. We must learn to bridle our passions. If we can't learn to control our thoughts and our emotions then we will be blind in this life. Life is a lot better to go through when you are not blind and you can see the road ahead. I believe that we must be able to let go of things no matter how hard it is to. That's why I write. To be able to make goals and bridle our passions we must write them down. A goal is not a goal until it is written down. I believe that with all my heart. It's now in my life that I have to go through with those decisions and understand that it's for the best even if it causes grief and pain. Our lord, Christ went through all the pain we had and we must realize that we are not alone.

Promise

What's in a promise? Is it something that you can keep? Can it be kept forever?

I have come to a big decision in my life of what I know to be right and what I want to be right. I want to live the gospel of Jesus Christ to it's fullest. I am a Son of God.

Life is a river, a river that sometimes we can't handle at times, but we know we can get through. I have never and don't ever want to hurt anyone or break anyones heart. Life isn't easy for me at all. I've made plans and have ideas that I want to live up to. I've been able to stand up after all of my choices that I've made. Today, more than ever, I must learn to stand up. It seems nearly impossible but I know what I must do. More than ever I know what it means to truly love someone. Sometimes, I feel, in life we have to push the things that we hold most dear away. No matter how hard it seems, the Savior is there to re-assure me that what I am doing is right, even though it seems nearly impossible. I'm sorry for any heartache I've caused to anyone in the world and especially to someone who is so important in my life right now. I'm learning to be strong by the decisions I am making and though that trust can't be there, it can still be built up again. Life is a journey. We meet amazing and incredible people. They go in and out of our lives in instances, almost like a blink of an eye. We must understand that in the end, all we hope for more than anything is they will return. I speak in riddles a lot but I hope that I can explain myself the best that I can. If that special someone is out there reading this I hope they know something. No matter how hard I push you away, I still care and love you so much. That's all I can say for myself. I'm preparing to serve a mission. I'm ready to be the lords for two years and serve him with all my mind, might, and soul.

What's important to you is important to the lord

Out of Love-

Are criticizing and critiquing the same thing? How could they be.
To criticize means to break down, or tear apart. To critique means to build up by improving. Basically critiquing is out of love and criticizing is not.

Trusting in One Another

It takes a lifetime to build, and a moment to lose. I see the value of trust in my daily life. It determines who we are, and what we do. It's simple to say you trust someone, but to truly trust someone can take years. I love being able to talk to the one I love and know that we both are living to have a better life. That's the whole purpose of coming to this earth. To learn how to be better. 

There's different points in your life you have to go through. It seems like a lot right now, to me, to think about. There's good, better, and best. Let me describe the ways I see it in my life right now.

1. Good

There's plenty of my friend out there living this life. The gospel is important and they know that. They don't believe that they have to follow it though. They can find other ways and everything will work out. Everything's all good. It seems like people really can be satisfied with good but to me, it's a word that tells people that you aren't trying. You've given up and your fine with what you have. There's nothing bad about this, but there's all better.

2. Better

I believe this is the point that I am at in my life. I'm doing better at things and I'm learning day by day. I want change and want to learn and grow more. It's crazy how much we learn day by day if we really seek for it. It teaches us about ourselves and our true potential. I'm happy to be alive. Happy to be thinking about the future. I've never been happier in my life.

3. Best

I do not only hope, but I know that I will be here one day. It's the thing that I want to be able to say everyday. I'm doing my best. I'm doing everything I can. Being the best doesn't mean being puffed up in pride or doing things for your own personal gain. It's being the best you. Not only for yourself, but for everyone around you. It's what makes you the happiest and makes everyone around you happy. 

Brittany Kerr

You are the world to me. You make my life a bliss. I'm glad that we can be honest and that everything I say to you is with my heart. I mean every word and every deed that I do. You know what, I'm totally all for everything we say. I want to be with you, growing and learning, in the gospel. Making choices in life that will bring us closer to God. I want us both to be happy, happy together. Being the Best that We can BE!

This Valentines day weekend was more than amazing. It was a wonderful weekend filled with smiles, and whispers, and food. I took Brittany Kerr to my parents home in Utah. We left Friday afternoon, and headed straight down. We spent that friday night talking and laughing and pushing a car along the freeway at 2 in the morning. The next day we spent meeting new people and getting to know each other even more. More than anything I just love being with Brittany. She inspires me to be a  better person and makes life better than it is. I woke up this morning at 5o'clock and just smiled. On Saturday night we went out and ate at Rodizio Grill.

It was well worth it and I had a blast. That night before we went to the dance, we went to a park. The park where I would spend time dancing and laughing and being with her for over an hour. I felt something that night that I never felt before. I can't describe it in words and I don't think I ever will be able to. All I know is that the night meant something special to me. Sunday we spent at church and talking about  the future. I loved talking about it, and the more we do the more of a reality I can see, and I want to make it work. Even better, I'm going to make it work. I have a mission in life. I'm going to fulfill it and return to our father in heaven. I am a child of our Father in Heaven, and I will be married for all time and eternity. I want peace. I care about someone. I want her to know that more than anything.

Happy Valentines Day Brittany

Content? Yes. Happy? Always. Peaceful? Definitely. Life has been great the last few weeks and it gets better and better. On Jan 21, I met Brittany Kerr, who is now my girlfriend. We laugh, communicate, talk, and understand each other. I love being with her. Even if we are just sitting on a couch holding hands. I love knowing that both of us are happy together. We aren't just content. We are so happy to be together. When I see her smile, it makes my day brighter and happier. I can't describe how I feel in life right now. Excited, happy, joy, none of these words can describe it. Brittany is from Washington. She has two younger sisters. Her parents seem to approve of me. I hope they do. I'm so excited for this weekend because we are going to meet my parents. This should be exciting!
