Quotes I Live By

“There are cycles of good and bad times, ups and downs, periods of joy and sadness, and times of plenty as well as scarcity. When our lives turn in an unanticipated and undesirable direction, sometimes we experience stress and anxiety. One of the challenges of this mortal experience is to not allow the stresses and strains of life to get the better of us—to endure the varied seasons of life while remaining positive, even optimistic. Perhaps when difficulties and challenges strike, we should have these hopeful words of Robert Browning etched in our minds: 'The best is yet to be'"--L. Tom Perry

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It will all work out. If you do your best, it will all work out. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us . . . If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers."
--President Gordon B. Hinckley

"God the Eternal Father did not give [the] first great commandment because He needs us to love Him. His power and glory are not diminished should we disregard, deny or even defile His name. His influence and dominion extend through time and space independent of our acceptance, approval or admiration. . . No, God does not need us to love Him. But oh, how we need to love God! . . . For what we love determines what we seek. What we seek determines what we think and do. What we think and do determines who are--and who we will become." --President Uchtdorf

I sure can pick em'

Tonight was the finale for American Idol. I have to say, this was probably my favorite season. There were so many talented people, and they all genuniely seemed like good people. I have to say, I am SO excited that Kris won! I've liked him since the beginning. Not just because he's dang good looking and I still am a bit disappointed that he is neither single nor Mormon, but he has SUCH a good voice and is just so humble. I mean, after winning he was like "Adam should have won this." I definitely am expecting awesome music from him. His performance with Keith Urban tonight singing Kiss a Girl (which is a song I really like, but feel extremely awkward singing along to because I most certainily don't ever want to kiss a girl) was awesome. Though I have to say, most of the performances tonight were really weird. I mean, seriously, Black Eyed Peas, what the heck? Those creepy people in the black and white suits that didn't even have eyes? I just about cried. Loved the Jason Mraz one though, mainly cuz I love I'm Yours. Anyways. I'm sad its over though. I have watched this season from beginning to end, missing probably like 5 episodes. I really don't know what I"m going to do with my life on Tuesdays and Wednesdays now...Is there any other good Reality shows on? Fortunately, come June, Food Network's Next Star starts up again, as does The Secret Life of the American Teenager (don't judge, I love this show). haha

Oh, and I've just added like 10 of Kris' songs from the season to my playlist. Enjoy :-D
