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

Day #4: My Siblings

Let's be honest. This has turned into a "30 posts that will eventually get finished" project instead. Haha.

I tried to find a picture of me with just my siblings, but alas, that did not happen. For some reason all the pictures I have are of either my whole family, or all of us with my parents. I'm pretty sure my family is due for a new family picture sometime soon, and when we do, hopefully we can take ones with just the siblings.

My siblings are the best. As I've gotten older, I have gotten even closer to them, and I'm sure as the years go on, that closeness will only grow stronger. My siblings are some of my very closest friends and I always look forward to the time we get to spend together, even if it's not incredibly often. It's always weird for me to think about people who only have one or two siblings, or are even only children, because there are six kids in my family. I couldn't imagine having any less siblings! For this post, I figured I would post a picture of each of my siblings so all you can see some of the most incredible people I know :)
