Being a Happy Single Lady :)

The title drew you in...didn't it?

If you have read my blog before then you know that I am as single as they come. Yep. I just threw that out there into the blogging world.

So today in my LDS Marriage and Family class....
Side note: Yes. I am taking a LDS Marriage and Family class. Yes, I am taking it while I am single. And yes, it is counting as a religion credit. Anyway...

So today in LDS Marriage and Family we were discussing how to be a whole and happy single. It was a wonderful discussion and it really made me reflect a lot about my own life.

I am happy. I am actually happier this last summer than I have ever been. It is wonderful. I am enjoying being myself and getting to know people. It is wonderful!

As I was listening to the discussion in my class today, I came to this realization. Relationships are not just about a man loving a woman and a woman loving a man. It is about a man loving God and a woman loving God, with both wanting to be obedient to His will. That is what makes successful relationship work, at least from what I have seen (not that I have any personal experience in this area).

When we come closer to God and closer to Christ, we are able to see happiness. I am talking eternal, wonderful, and radiating happiness. As I said before, this summer I have felt happier than I have ever been. I attribute this happiness to this idea.

So right now, as a single lady, I am doing all that I can to become closer to God. I want to be obedient to His will and have a close enough relationship with Him that when the right guy comes along who is close to God, I will be worthy of that guy and that relationship as well.

I am single. I am happy. So...
Come what may and love it!

Quick Housing Update

So I got an email yesterday saying that I will get to choose my housing on April 1st. Really, that is pretty good. Housing opens for others on March 28th...and I have heard as far away as April 13th. So I am counting my blessings and hoping that everything that I want to work out will work out. :) Come what may and love it!

Answered Prayers

To those of you who heard my testimony today, I apologize that I am repeating myself. This is an experience I just needed to write down for myself. Let's rewind to Monday night. I hadn't been feeling all that great. I had only gotten 3 hours of sleep the night before. I just was ready to go to bed. I told myself that I would come home from FHE and go to sleep. I was in my pajamas by 8:30- crazy for a college student, right? One of my friends dropped in for a visit. After she left, I had one of those moments where I just felt completely alone. I went to my room and prayed when a few simple words came to my mind. "Heavenly Father, Are you really there? And do you hear and answer every child's prayer?" These two lines from the children's primary song were stuck in my mind. In the moment, it is easy to doubt that Heavenly Father answers our prayers. How can He really hear every single prayer around the world? How can He answer every single one? It just ...

Let's Talk About Allergies- Allergy FAQ

I want to put into perspective a moment from my life into terms that you might be able to relate with more… You are walking with your two-year old in the park. As you are walking, you see right in front of you a gun on the ground. What are your immediate thoughts and feelings? Are you worried about the safety of your child? The gun might not be loaded. Why not just let them play with it or even just touch it? OF COURSE YOU WOULDN’T THINK THAT! Any parent’s first reaction would be of fear and worry. You would think what if your child had been alone for that moment and found the gun by themselves. What if they had picked it up? What if they would have killed themselves accidentally? This is exactly how I felt when I walked through the park one day and saw a peanut shell on the ground. I was so grateful that I was holding Mitch’s hand in that moment. I am so grateful that I could just walk away with him. But still- those feelings and thoughts were there. What if in that one ...
