Count your blessings

Start of second semester of senior year has me constantly wanting graduation to come but also sad that I have to leave my friends in as little as 5-7 months. With senioritis kicking in it is hard to appreciate the time I get at school to spend with my friends. Before senior year even started my fiends "the crew" made a pact to live out senior year as much as possible. Now looking back to 1st semester where has the time gone. Time is just constantly passing by and I am constantly having to remind myself to live out special moments.

During winter break davie Claire and I were just sitting in davies bed just thinking of what to do. Then I had the bright idea of seeing a movie..as this being about 10:20 at night the last showing for the movie was at 10:35 we practicly ran into judy (Claire's car) and headed on our way! On the way their all the lights were green and Claire announced " Jesus" then I quickly responded with always Jesus!

Looking back on this experience made me realize how greatful I am for friends that constantly say Jesus and remind me of the constant blessings in our life that we sometimes fail to realize! Jesus is ALWAYS there unconditionally blessing our lives constantly and we need to be greaful. Now starting 2nd semester of my senior year anytime anyone says Jesus I will count my blessings and be thankful for these last opportunities during the cliche "best time of my life"!

Embrace The Brace

Recently I tore my acl and before that I had my life planned out. Play college soccer maybe go to BYU meet my husband live happily ever after. Now that it has happened it really made me evaluate and put things into perspective. Right before the "accident" I was doing the things I was supposed to and really close to my Heavenly Father. I was journaling and thought nothing could go wrong. I never before had any real adversity in my life and when this happened i didn't really ask why me...it was why now. My life had took a turn but I had to remind myself everything happens for a reason, god has a plan, and he wouldn't give me anything I can't handle.

I've wanted to be a doctor for the longest time and surgery was the coolest thing to me and a after talking to the anesthesiologist I realized that it isn't really for me. I need to help people in a positive way and being a reproductive endocrinologist was it! I tried doing things to get me to that goal. Changing my outlook I the type of life I would have but it didn't really fit with what I wanted originally and was confusing me and still is. But at church I heard that where I am right now is where I'm supposed to be! That made such an impact because I need to take it day by day and then things will fit into place. I had to "embrace the brace" and be confident with who I am and where I am. I realized I had to embrace the little things in life and live a little, and love a lot. It has put me in a happier place mentally, physically and spiritually on my journey to finding myself.
