A Skooling Fool

Maybe I am just over sensitive, but I find myself crying  A   L O T !  I cry during sad movies, happy movies, romantic movies, spiritual experiences, weddings, family gatherings, stressful times, happy times, disappointing times, frustrating times, peaceful moments, boring moments, dull moments, and although I think I covered most, pretty much any other moment/feeling I forgot to mention. This past week has been a whirlwind of emotions which inevitably means, lots of tears. I have been trying my hardest to find a job. I think I have applied to somewhere over a 100 jobs and have not been able to even get an interview!

Naturally, I have been feeling a little rejected and a lack of confidence. I honestly was about to give up looking when yesterday, I was doing my daily scripture study. I had just finished reading in 1 Nephi and the question that went along with my reading was "How have you turned yourself over to the Lord?" I began to think about that. I have recently really started to devote almost a half hour toward studying scriptures each day and have been so much better about reading my scriptures. When thinking about my progress over the month I noticed how much my attitude toward everything has changed. It really is remarkable how something so simple as reading scriptures and prayers changes your spirit.

Anyway, back to where I was going with this... After reading the scriptures, I rolled off our bed to say my prayers. During prayer, my mind kept wandering to going back to school... I couldn't focus on anything else except this thought of going back to school!   S O   S C A R Y !  After my prayer, I talked to Michael and decided that the Lord is prompting me to attend school again! So, I guess this entire post is about how I have officially decided to apply to Weber State and attend in the Fall! I am taking quite a leap here, but I know that the Lord will provide a way for me to make it!

Oh by the way, I am seriously considering going into photography. I know I amn't any good at it yet, but that is why you go to school right? I have always found it fascinating, and hopefully I can make my dream a reality!

So in honor of this decision, these pictures are all from my first semester at UVU a couple of years ago... I can't believe I am old enough to say a couple of years ago... 



Pray for me! 
Wish me luck!
Send me positive thoughts!
