Human.

I kind of like this song:)

But as Brother Durfey said in Institute the other day:

I just want to yell at her and say, 'You aren't just human! You are a daughter of God!'

Ain't that the truth:)
We are all so much more than just human.
This is but a small moment in our existence and after this life,
We will be so much more, making our own worlds,
Living forever with our families:)

It's so great to know that:)

Shawn's Birthday!

So yesterday was Shawn Gubler's birthday!
Anyway. Me and Ryan made him a cake (it is supposed to be something from half life)

Ok, let's face it doesn't really look like it to much, but we tried:)

We ate the cake then just hung out and Shawn got his mission call!!! Gah!!!

What a great way to spend a birthday:) I hope he had fun at least!

Prom 2014

So Prom was yesterday...:)
It was pretty fun:), not going to lie.
Our day was spent meeting up at the Tulip Festival,
Then walking around for a couple of hours,
looking at all of the perdy flowers and the inconsiderate fish!
Then Josh Johnson pulled out a HUGE thing of sandwiches and Myron had Soda,
We then sat in the shade and feasted on our picnic while enjoying the ambiance of flowers.
Me and Ryan stayed a little bit longer to talk, and by doing so: We got sunburned:P

Later after hair, make-up, and dress alterations (so annoying),
We made it to Myron's house for dinner:)
We chilled there for awhile waiting for 8 o'clock to roll around so we could leave
[[because we are obviously not going to show up on time:)]]

Slowly we made it to the dance and danced our little hearts out:)
Ok, well not really...we sat on the side and "people-watched" a whole lot and really only danced the slow songs haha.
But it was fun nonetheless.

Then after the dance we went to my house and talked for a long time.
Twas a lovely night, with a lovely boy:)

Here are some pictures:

Just a silly picture of me and my dress:)

Me putting the flower-thingy on Ryan

A nice, normal picture

Me giving my mom attitude for taking so many pictures (sorry about the "over-editing")

Finals...Gah.

So...finals are coming up....fast...
Papers keep coming.
Stress keeps building.
Anger keeps boiling inside.
Sleep keeps disappearing.
Yay...

Walk With Christ 2014: Day 8

Day 8: Testimony

"I know that my Redeemer lives! What comfort this sweet sentence gives!"

Read: D&C 76:1-24

The Journey:

• Do you have a written copy of your testimony of Christ--your Brother, your Friend, your Savior?
• Write out what you believe. Write your gratitude to Him. Write an experience that has strengthened your testimony of Him.
• Share your testimony.

"The basis of a true testimony starts with a belief in Heavenly Father and his Son, Jesus Christ. In the Doctrine and Covenants it says, 'Draw near unto me and I will draw near unto you; seek me diligently and ye shall find me; ask, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.' (D&C 88:63) To know the Father and the Son, we have journals of ancient prophets, the scriptures, that we can study. Then in prayer we ask our Heavenly Father if it's true."

Well, this concludes the Walk With Christ of 2014.

I hope that you've liked it as much as I have and you have come to a better understanding and appreciation and love for our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and I hope you've felt the Holy Ghost as you've participated.

I've loved doing this right before conference and I hope we can all continue to build upon our testimonies this weekend and continue learning this lovely thing called The Gospel:)

Love you all:)

Walk With Christ 2014: Day 7

Day 7: Remember

"I urge you to find ways to recognize and remember God's kindness. You will be blessed as you remember what the Lord has done." -President Henry B. Eyring

Read: The story of Joshua crossing the river Jordan: Joshua 3 & 4

The Journey:

• Gather twelve stones. Label each stone with a blessing you have recognized in your journey toward Christ.
• Share these blessings with your family.
• Write down how He has strengthened, enlightened, or comforted you.

"And after they had been received unto baptism, and were wrought upon and cleansed by the power of the Holy Ghost, they were numbered among the people of the church of Christ; and their names were taken, that they might be remembered and nourished by the good word of God, to keep them in the right way, to keep them continually watchful unto the prayer, relying alone upon the merits of Christ, who was the author and the finisher of their faith."

Moroni 6:4

"How do I keep my covenant to always remember the Savior? When we partake of the sacrament, we promise to remember the Savior always. This means that we constantly look to His example and teachings to guide the choices we make. We put Him first in our lives and seek to know Him and follow His will. When we face trials, we look to Him for comfort and strength, Heavenly Father has promised that if we keep this covenant, we will always have His Spirit to be with us."

Walk With Christ 2014: Day 6

Day 6: Stand

"...I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand..."

Read: Luke 22:32, Ether 12:4

Consider: Standing as a witness of Christ not only strengthens you, it strengthens those around you.

The Journey:

• When you see the battle against sin raging, where do you see yourself in the fight?
• In your role as a friend, a son, a daughter, in your church calling, do you give some, or do you give all?
• Find a way to STRENGTHEN someone today.

"Standing obedient and strong on the doctrine of our God, we stand in holy places, for His doctrine is sacred and will not change in the social and political winds of our day. I declare, as did the Apostle Paul, 'Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, [behave] like men, [and] be strong."

Elder Robert D. Hales

"As we go about living from day to day, it is almost inevitable that our faith will be challenged. We may at times fine ourselves surrounded by others and yet STANDING in the minority or even STANDING alone concerning what is acceptable and what is not. Do we have the moral courage to STAND firm for our beliefs, even if by so doing we must STAND alone?"

President Thomas S. Monson

"May we ever be courageous and prepared to STAND for what we believe, and if we must STAND alone in the process, may we do so courageously, strengthened by the knowledge that in reality we are never alone when we stand with our Father in Heaven."

President Thomas S. Monson

Walk With Christ 2014: Day 5

Day 5: Change

"Come unto Jesus; He'll ever heed you. Though in the darkness you've gone astray. His love will find you and gently lead you from darkest night into day."

Read: Luke 17:11-19

Consider: If we turn to the Savior and ask for help, we too can be healed and cleansed.

The Journey:

• Identify a change that you would like to make in your own life. It could be something amiss in your family, or an individual weakness.
• Write down a plan that will enable you to make that change.
• Approach the Lord in prayer and ask for His help.

"Each of us has been given the power to change his or her life. As part of the Lord's great plan of happiness, we have individual agency to make decisions. We can decide to do better and to be better."

Presidnet James E. Faust

"Changes in the heart and soul occur as a result of planting and nourishing the seed (Alma 32:28). Scripture study, prayer, obedience, and service are key elements to building faith in Christ."

Ensign, Nov 1992, 28
