I love Shauna Roberts

"True courage is not the absence of fear, but the willingness to proceed in spite of it." -Unknown

Never underestimate the power of perseverance. – Shauna Roberts 

Here's to hoping.

Distance is not for the fearful, but for the bold. It is for those who are willing to spend a lot of time alone, in exchange for a little time with the ones they love.  It’s for those knowing a good thing when they see it, even if they don’t see it nearly enough. So here's to hoping that absence makes the heart grow fonder. 

I am blessed.

     I'm not sure how to put into words what I'm feeling. There have been SO many emotions running through me today. Fear. Anger. Love. Joy. Peace. Confusion. What to say? I know this much, The Lord knows what he is doing. He knows who to put in your life, and who to keep out of it. He knows how you feel, and who to cross your path with in order to help you along your journey. He knows all. I have never felt more blessed in my entire life than I have today. I got to spend a that one last night with my best friends. You'll never know how much that means to me. Today was very self fulfilling. After today, I finally feel a sense of peace. Nothing changes but the distance between us. And that distance, I believe, will only make our friendships stronger. Oh, the beauty of life. God has blessed me with angels that surround me constantly, keep me grounded, comfort me when I am in need of comfort. They are my friends. I don't know that everyone is as blessed in that aspect of their life as I am. They bring me great joy, peace and happiness. I'll love them for eternity. 

Today's Joy: 

"Its not goodbye, its see you later."

Joy #2:
Me- "Off to make the best of today."
Kennedy- "No, you're off to make today the best."

Sometimes,

God grants you the divine opportunity to be the bigger person. And who would I be to deny that opportunity? It's all a part of moving on. Today is a leap of faith, a holding to the rod in the dark.

Here it is, the end. And a whole new beginning.

    My last day in St. George, Utah.

 I'm leaving the house that built me, and going on to new adventures. 

All I know is, if God put you to it, He'll bring you through it. 

And I'm definitely counting on that right now, because I'm tellin' ya, it's is if God himself

sent me the acceptance letter to BYU-Idaho. I know I'm supposed to be there, in fact, 

I've never been so sure of anything in my life. I've also never been more scared.

So here I go, I'm stepping off the edge with my blindfold on,
putting my faith in the Lord. I know he'll never leave me alone.
So in the end, I guess that's all the knowledge I'll ever need. 

Today's Joy: 

Looking forward and moving on. Marvelous things are waiting for me. 

Now is the time to cherish them.

So goodbye St. George, hello Rexburg.

Finding Joy in The Journey

Todays Joy (okay, yesterday's):

I got to spend time with my good friend Wendy Bateman. She means so much to me!

She has always been an incredible example of having faith in 

The Lord, and knowing He'll see  you through everything. 

I love her so much and am so grateful that the Lord has crossed our paths.
