Finals, and Beginning of a new Term!!!

Finals from My first term were simply amazing! I was truly watched over and protected with my finals. I know I wouldn't have been able to do so well, had I not realized that I am truly nothing and I am no one without Heavenly Father and my Savior Jesus Christ! I was fortunate and blessed to receive a 4.0 for the first time in my life! I finally did it!!! It is truly a wonderful feeling to see a lot of hard work and studying pay off.

It has now been two weeks into this new term, and I feel like I am stuck in a huge pile of purple gooey jello or something like that! I have to admit this new term has been a very crazy term. I tell myself if I can just make it through this term, all will be well. I sit here as I'm writing this blog thinking wow! I truly haven't embraced the moment. I should just be enjoying this term every second of the day and embrace all that I am learning. So, I'm going to now go and do that.
I'm trying not to say "I will try...." Because what energy comes from "Trying" Does anything get done with the whole trying line? I don't know, it makes me think, it is so much better to say "I will do..." How much more powerful is that? If we think about it that is simply what the Lord wants us to say as well. It will give us a better respect for ourselves and people will be able to respect us as well as trust us and be able to believe our word.
Sorry I got on a little soap box. This term I have a few classes that are going to be the death of me!
As Dory from Finding Nemo would say: "Just keep swimming. swimming swimming." or another favorite is "Cowboy Up!!!"

Long Time Awaiting

I have to admit that I have completely slacked on this whole blog thing. Although I do have an excuse for a little bit of time in slacking, since I was on my mission in Michigan Detroit. I just need to get back into the swing of this again.
I am now back obviously and going to massage college. I wish I would have gotten into this a lot sooner. I can't complain about getting a massage every day I'm at school, whether it is a foot massage or a full body massage, I don't really mind. I love it all anyways!
I thought for sure I would have a really hard time, with this. If any of you truly know me you know that I don't like to be touched and I don't like to touch people. I have or maybe I should say now, I had a bubble the size of China or may be the size of Asia! Anyway, the bubble was really big, but now I know that I don't have that big of a bubble. I rather enjoy massages!
I have been put in a really great school, that teaches you to pay attention to your surroundings and to be aware of your inner self. I love that! I love the fact that it relates so well to the Gospel of Jesus Christ! I've also been blessed with some of the most amazing friends, Heavenly Father has really put so many friends in my path so that I can really come to recognize my true potential. I love the fact that my friends help keep me on the path, no matter how hard it is for them to get things out of me.
I have truly learned that the way that I used to deal with things isn't really a healthy way. I feel as though I'm going through a huge "refiners fire" at the moment. Which I am grateful for, I would never change any of my "refiner fires" for anything, or maybe I should change them to "temple prisons." I am so grateful for where Heavenly Father has put me and the places that I am put in to help me and most importantly to help others.
