Theme's of Spring 2011

When I started school last fall I decided to have a theme scripture every semester. This Spring semester the scripture I choose was 3 Nephi 12: 47

Old things are done away, and all things have become new.

I chose this scripture because lately I find myself thinking of the past and how easy it was, and how I really miss certain aspects of my life. One day as I was reading I came across this verse and really made me think. My life has and is changing and I have to embrace the changes and stop wanting to live in the past. It is not what we are suppose to do so this semester I hope to be reminded every day when I read this scripture to live in the here and now and be happy.

Secondly I put up a quote on my wall from Joseph Smith Jr. It is one of my all time favorite quotes.

"Sometimes the Lord brings us low, before he can lift us higher."

Such great wisdom from a prophet. I find myself feeling down because times are hard but when I remember this quote I know that there has to be some good coming my way in the future. It helps me get through those hard days.

I am grateful for words of advice we are given from prophets. This church is true and I love it.

Recap

Well I haven't exactly been a devoted blogger, considering I haven't put anything up since October. So just for a quick recap so I can get back to my homework and packing for spring break. I am now onto my second semester of my freshman year at Utah State. Currently I am going into social work with hopes to get a Masters in school Counseling. I haven't really dove into much of the actual curriculum just generals so so far school has just been alright nothing to outstanding. Last weekend I was able to go to Idaho with Katie and visit Grandparents. It was so fun and I wish I could have stayed longer and not gone to school! It was hard to say goodbye but hopefully I will see them in the near future. I can't wait to go home for spring break it should be great! Oh I recently got a job. I am a Janitor for Biomat, a plasma donation center. I am really excited, not because of the actual job but more the fact that I am earning a little bit of money to help with finances next year. Well that is about all for me hopefully I will post more regularly, although don't plan on it I am very busy with school, anyways we will see!
