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

Lately

So I have about 10 blogs that I started writing that are still in my drafts folder. Most of them are about funny situations or stories, but I'm so paranoid that somehow one of the people mentioned will stumble across my blog. haha. But just so you all know, I'm still alive. Barely. Just kidding. But my lack of sleep is starting to take a toll on me. I've even started taking naps lately. And if you know me, you know I hate naps. That might just tell you how tired I am! I think I am gonna try and work less hours next semester...Especially because I'm missing awesome things like the Biggest Loser, and a sweet cake decorating class that I've been dying to take, AND a sweet BYU college republican's meeting, because of work. haha. Umm....Nothing much else is going on. Met some cool people around my complex lately. Kind of. haha. I'm at work right now, and really wish I had something incredibly witty and funny to blog about, but my mind is drawing a blank. So sorry for this lame post. Hopefully my life becomes exceedingly more exciting in the next few days. For your sake, as well as mine.

Oh but kind of exciting. I am totally going to be in the Guiness Book of World Records...along with about 2000+ other people. lol. Last weekend, BYU attempted to break the record for the biggest game of capture the flag. And we succeeded. Woo hoo!
