far from perfect.

become.

a thought...

those days filled with otter pops, the pool, and chalking feel like just last week.
it seems like school just barely started when really we're almost half way through.
and halloween which feels as though it was yesterday, was nearly a month ago.
thanksgiving came in quickly and went right back out.
and before we know it will be Christmas.
and then 2o1o will pratically be over.
time has been flying by.

and everything has come and gone so fast.

there are times we may wish to be older..

but before we know it... we will be.
so make the best out of every opportunity that comes your way.
live each day to the fullest.
and live with no regrets.
because time will go on. no matter what you do.
so you may as well make your time worth it.

i am his daughter

since getting back from efy i've listened to the cd alot. its amazing the spirit that it brings into my life and each day how much stronger the spirit is. the lyrics are amazing too. they make you want to become better. these are part of the lyrics to one of my favorites. (:

i am his daughter

the pictures in the magazines,

don't dictate who i'm supposed to be

the world can't recognize

all that i am inside.

i know in his eyes

i am a part of the bigger picture

theres so much more to me

he helps see that i have so much to offer

i am his daughter

he loves me the way i am

he's my strength when i stand

my king and my father

i am his daughter

and when im feeling small

wondering if ill ever find courage to stand tall

through his love i remember

theres so much more to me

he helps see that i have so much to offer

i am his daughter

he loves me the way i am

he's my strength when i stand

my king and my father

i am his daughter

i know that i'm a daughter of God and that he wants to help me and no matter what will always be there for me. (:

the talks today in sacrament meeting were great too. they were on feeling god's love and that is just what i needed. at efy they focused on it so much. and hearing those helped again to strengthen my testimony of how much he truly loves me.

and another highlight of this day was fathers blessings. (: its the annual back to school fathers blessing. and i guess i have always taken it for granted. never really paying much attention to it or looking back on it very much. but last year it was such a blessing to me. as i had struggles with friends it helped me a ton. and i'm so grateful that i have the preisthood in my home so that i can get them. also for having a home where the gospel is taught and the spirit is felt.i love my family so much and i'm not sure what i would do without them. (: sundays are always so great. it gives me time to think about all that i have been blessed with. its a day to rejuvenate yourself spiritually. and today is the last one of summer 2o1o. good thing it was an amazing day (:

unique.

"be yourself cause everyone else is taken."

i've heard it a million times but lately i have really started to think about it.

7th and 8th grade was all about fitting in. everyone was still trying to find their nitch. most people just wanted to be like everyone else. me being one of them. i had confidence i just would try and find small things that i could change or do different to be more like her. (whoever her was at the time) and maybe this is why i was confident. because i would usually change something so i was more like her. and then i would accept myself. no matter what though i was never going to be her. she was already taken.

9th grade will be different. i have found my nitch. i have found my friends. and most importantly i have found out who i am. and i don't want to fit in anymore. i want to be my own person. i don't want to be more like whoever her happens to be. i want to be my own unique self. (:

i'm addicted, its a crisis.

i went to go to bed realizing it is midnight. then a thought occured. i didn't blog today. and yes i'm addicted. i tried to fall asleep but couldn't let myself without a post. so here i am now. don't fret this post will include something worth your time. so here it is.

"attitude is the paintbrush of life, what will your mural look like in the end?"

so thats my inspiration for now. just one of my favorite quotes(: hope you enjoy it.

serendipity.

"serendipity. look for something, find something else, and realize that what you've found is more suited to your needs than what you thought you were looking for." 
~someone who knew what they were talking about. 

everything happens for a reason. and every action brings a reaction.

it's not always going to be what we want, or what we're expecting but it will always work out for the better in the end. 
i don't believe in coincidences. there's something you can learn from every experience and every person you meet can influence you in some way. 

so regret nothing. go about each day with a smile on your face. 
and truly live your life. (:
