all lead me here to this...
it's crazy to think that one tiny thing could change a lifetime of events.
when i graduated i regretted not trying harder in my classes i needed to become a pharmacy tech. but because i didn't get the grades i wanted i got to move in with my cousin and upgrade at a different school and found my new passion and met amazing people. and if that never happened i wouldn't have found out i wanted to do hair and i would have never applied for the hair school i'm at now AND i would never have met some of the greatest friends ever. and if all of that never happened i could not even imagine where my life would be now.
one of my best friends is currently serving in the tokyo japan mission. often in her letters she tells me "everything happens for a reason". for a long time i never wanted to believe that. but i think that there's a plan for everyone and sometimes what you think you're supposed to do isn't what you're really supposed to do. sometimes you miss out on things or have regrets BUT each of those things has brought you to where your life is at RIGHT NOW all you can do is put all your trust into knowing it'll all work out and i could not be more grateful for every tiny moment that has brought me to where i am.
Oh sweet the joy this sentence gives...
easter is one of my favorite times of year. i probably love it more than Christmas. easter was my gramma's favorite holiday and i have soooo many great memories because of her. easter egg throws, picnics and bunny lapins...and the colours are beautiful and there's baby animals! and while all of that is so wonderful it's easy to lose sight of why easter truly is remarkable.
christmas is great because we celebrate jesus christ's birth. but easter is even more great because we celebrate his life and death and atoning sacrifice for each and every one of us. i wish i could put all of my thoughts and feelings about christ onto one blog post but it would take wayyy to much time so instead i'll leave you with this...
I know Jesus Christ lives. because he lives i am never alone. he is there in my moments of joy and happiness and also there through my heartache because he is the only one who knows EXACTLY how i feel. he knows me better than i know myself. because he died and was resurrected so can i. i can live with him and those i love forever. because he lives i can overcome satan's daily influence on me. he is there if you let him in. never ever ever forget how much he loves you <3
