A few good quotes

trials and tribulations come along with happiness and success. They're part of the package, part of the plan. Heavenly Father knows we have to be cut down in order to be built up stronger. With every hill we face we need to keep in mind that at the top of each one there are many more we will climb. Some will descend lower before we ascend higher again. the key is to keep moving forward with faith, trusting in the Lord, and giving our absolute best!

The only person that needs to believe in something is you; others will follow when you don't give up.
C.J.

You don’t know if something fits until you try it on for size. It could go so wrong, or turn out to be quite an awesome surprise. So try it on, test it out. It may be something you can’t believe you ever lived without.

The trick of persuation is letting the other guy have your way
Sometimes the only way to find your limit is to push it

"Life is just as ____ as you make it!"

Your life is what you make it. If you life is stressful, it’s because YOU’RE stressful. If your life is dramatic, it’s because YOU’RE dramatic! If you're life is fantastic, it's because YOU have made it that way!

Let your heart lead and your dreams will follow

Reaction

Gosh I have so much to write about, but for now- just a little

How you react when things don't go your way creates who you are day by day.

That is definitely my quote of the moment. I just have to look back on things that haven't gone my way before and realize how much of a blessing they actually turned out to be.

For instance- it took me 3 times to win Miss Murray, and I'm so glad that it did. There's no way I would've been able to help as many people as I have if I'd won my 1st or even my 2nd time. I can only be grateful to my Heavenly Father for unanswered prayers.



Garth Brooks- Unanswered Prayers
Thanks Alex for the song idea :D

Just the other night a hometown football game
My wife and I ran into my old high school flame
And as I introduced them the past came back to me
And I couldn't help but think of the way things used to be

She was the one that I'd wanted for all times
And each night I'd spend prayin' that God would make her mine
And if he'd only grant me this wish I wished back then
I'd never ask for anything again

CHORUS:
Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers

She wasn't quite the angel that I remembered in my dreams
And I could tell that time had changed me
Inn her eyes too it seemed
We tried to talk about the old days
There wasn't much we could recall
I guess the Lord knows what he's doin' after all

And as she walked away and I looked at my wife
And then and there I thanked the good Lord
For the gifts in my life

CHORUS

Some of God's greatest gifts are all too often unanswered...
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers

Maybe

I don't want to be the one to say goodbye
But I will, I will, I will
I don't want to sit on the pavement while you fly
But I will, I will, oh yes I will

Maybe in the future, you're gonna come back, you're gonna come back around
Maybe in the future, you're gonna come back, you're gonna come back
The only way to really know is to really let it go
Maybe you're gonna come back, you're gonna come back, you're gonna come back to me

I don't want to be the first to let it go
But I know, I know, I know
If you have the last hands that I want to hold
Then I know I've got to let them go

Maybe in the future, you're gonna come back, you're gonna come back around
Maybe in the future, you're gonna come back, you're gonna come back
The only way to really know is to really let it go
Maybe you're gonna come back, you're gonna come back, you're gonna come back

I still feel you on the right side of the bed
And I still feel you in the blankets pulled over my head
But I'm gonna wash away, oh I'm gonna wash away everything til you come home to me

Maybe in the future, you're gonna come back, you're gonna come back
In the future, you're gonna come back, you're gonna come back

Maybe in the future, you're gonna come back, you're gonna come back around
Maybe in the future, you're gonna come back, you're gonna come back
The only way to really know is to really let it go

Maybe you're gonna come back, you're gonna come back, you're gonna come back to me
You're gonna come back to me
You're gonna come back to me

I wrote this my Junior Year of high school in a notebook that I'm throwing away for some drill thing, so I will write it all here :D yay for technology :D

My Future

When I get older I think I will be
Someone with honesty, love, and integrity
I want to help all those around
so they don't feel stuck, alone on the ground
someday I hope to help and lead
those who are suffering , or are in need
I want to help them know who they are
and teach them their worth, they can go far!
My profession- I'm not exactly sure
I don't think I'll be what my parents were
psychology or pharmacy is what I'm thinking
The pay for neither of them is stinking
But that's not why i want to do those
I just love people and I think it shows
To help people= to show them the way
is what I like- didn't I already say that? what the hay!
My schooling will be tough and very hard
but after I'm done I'll hold all the cards
I will be a doctor- I'm not sure of what
I know I'm not gonna be a slut
I wanna be the best
a cut above the rest
not so I can hold it over others' head
but so I can know that before I'm dead
I tried my hardest and never stopped
I got what I deserved- the others i topped
but a great doctor needs a loving man
someone to help her and take her hand
He WILL sing to me- even if he sucks
we will take walks in the park & feed the ducks
He'll be there to help me, hold me, support me
It will be true love, true romance, true serendipity
It's scary to think this decision must be made in a few years
because the wrong one in this choice is the biggest of my frears
So I won't rush, and I'll take my time
and I'll have those boys standing in a line
they'll show me their brains, their talent, their braun
They'll show me they love me without makeup on
But the one that I chose I'll love forever
Whether we're in Utah, or Alaska, or Denver
oh we'll have kids too- I didn't forget
they'll be the cutest, strongest, smartest kids yet!
I'lll teach them to respect- they'll never talk back
or else their bags they'll have to pack
I'll teach them to work, to sing, to cook
they'll even love to sit and read a book
I know this dream is far-fetched, but I want it!
and once I get it? Heck yes! I'll flaunt it!
