Goals

Today I went to the gym and started working with a personal trainer. After the workout, we sat and talked about goals for myself. Getting into better shape has always been a goal of mine for a long time and today was a step towards accomplishing that goal.

Winston Churchill once said, "Success is not final. Failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts". This quote stuck out to me and I hope that it will speak to you. Don't give up on what you want to accomplish. Make those goals measureable, and meaningful so that you will achieve them. Turn your dreams into reality.

Blessings

This week has been filled with many blessings. I have been incredibly blessed by so many people in many ways. For example, I was able to go to the movies with some of the most amazing friends, I played volleyball, and I have been with family.

I know that these people have been placed in my life for a certain reason. I am extremely grateful that they are apart of my life. I can't imagine life without them because they are truly the best.

Tender Mercies

This past week I have been blessed by the Lord in so many ways. I have felt His love for me this week and it has been such a huge comfort. My testimony has been strengthened as I have seen the hand of the Lord in my life. It all started when I finally paid my tithing on Sunday.

I have been putting off paying my tithing for a few months. But I wrote out the check, put it in an envelope and gave it to my bishop. I felt pretty good after that. The next few days went by fast while I was looking at different housing options for the summer semester and deciding if I wanted to transfer to BYU-Idaho after graduating from LDS Business College.

I was able to met with a mentor for about 30 minutes today. It was fun talking with him and being able to pick his brain. I don't know what happened but by the end of our conversation, I felt like I was supposed to apply to attend BYU-Idaho. So this afternoon, I started the application process to attend BYU-Idaho.

I love how in life we think that we have everything planned out perfectly. Then Heavenly Father is able to change our plans in a way that will benefit us more than our original plan would have. I have come to realize over the years that we are not the ones in control. It is hard to change and adapt but I can testify that I wouldn't be where I am today without all of those loving course corrections.

  

Crazy Happenings

The semester is almost over and I am very excited! This week has gone by really fast. My roommate and I found a cute little park behind the Capitol building. We went apartment shopping for the summer semester and we hung out with friends playing Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros. I felt like a kid again and it was awesome. Life is going good!!!
