Heading Out to War

Heading out to war This is my story of my LDS Mission in Barcelona Spain  She was scared to death...she was leaving for war, a war she could never imagine what she was up against. She was leaving her family behind, it was hard to do so, because her brother also was at war but in a different part of this grand war we are in. Now it was her turn to go, her family told her that if she wanted to go she had to go by herself, they couldn't help her. She knew she had to go. So she did all she could to prepare herself.   No idea what lies ahead, no idea what was going to happen. The unknown is the humans worst fear. She lands, in a strange land, a whole new world to her....alone. She goes through a six week boot camp. It's tough but she learns a lot. One night there she looks out the window, the world at war, she hears the cannons, the fire, lights and screams. She was headed out to that in a few weeks.   She is safe for know, just learning how to work, she go

Strive to go from Ordinary to Extraordinary!!

Strive to go from Ordinary to Extraordinary!! Remember in those hard times you are the only one that can change your attitude in life. If you feel like your drowning, swim. YOU are the one who chooses who you will become, it's your agency. Use it! This past couple month I have felt as if I was drowning, I was waiting for someone to notice and help me. But that all changed when I remembered, I decide I am going to be happy today, I decide if I let that bad thing ruin my day, I decide. It took a lot of conscious effort, but I made it. I woke up one day and realized I am going to change the world starting with me! Life is hard, I understand, but remember a little prayer can go a long way.

A Little Prayer Can Go A Long Way

A Little Prayer Can Go A Long Way Have to you ever had the thought to stop your day and just thank the Good Lord that you are alive and surviving life? That little nudging in the back of your mind and heart that you need to slow down to give the creator some of your time? Or the thought that maybe you should be a little more careful in life?  I have on many occasions.  I have always tried to respond to these thoughts quickly or disaster can hit, or just a bad day. I never know what will happen next in life, and these promptings can really help me. This day was no different......a little prayer can go a long way. It all started on a hot July morning. I was talking to my mom and the idea hit me to drive out for the long weekend. I didn't have class or work so why not go and be with my family. It had been a while and I missed them dearly.  After I hung up with a excited mom, I started to pack for the drive. I had to finish some homework and go to work then I would h

Just An Ordinary Girl- How it all started

  Just an ordinary girl I am a thirteen year old lump of life... .I have no purpose, no reason, no not anything......         I am just an ordinary girl, and this is my story...... I walk through the halls of school I get those half looks, wow she's fat! Does she even talk to anyone. Living duel lives. At school I am a quiet shy person, I stick to the walls, stare at the floors, watch my shoes go by. I am a no body, no one notices. At home I am myself....or who I think I should be myself. I talk, I am open but does anyone really know who I am? I am a human being of billions of people, who even cares? Who am I? Do I even matter? What's the point to all this? No one cares about me. No one would even be sad if I left. I am a fat no good for nothing lump. I hate everything. I can't do anything right. Life just stinks, what the heck am I suppose to do here?  Today I walked home from school slowly, depressed, determined that no one loves me. I walk in to see m

From Ordinary to Extraordinary

From Ordinary to Extraordinary I may be just an ordinary girl, but what does that even mean? Being ordinary according to the dictionary means to be someone with no special abilities or distinctive features. Well that just means that I am no one special right? Are you thinking what I am thinking? Well I guess that means I can't do anything important in life. Well that is wrong!! You can do anything you put your mind to. I mean that with all of my heart, I was there once but I took charge of my life and changed it. I came from a family with a dad who is a high school drop out, neither parents made it through college and we lived a hard life. I was taught hard work and to life with what you have. For the longest time I thought I couldn't be anything in my life. I was just going to be who everyone else thought I could be. Which for most of us usually means more negative that positive. There are a lot of people who have great families that push them to aspire to hig
