Come What May

This blog is called Come What May and Love It.
This is after one of my favorite talks with the same title. Below is the talk so that you can fall in love with it yourself.
You can read the talk here.

When this talk was first given, I was going through some hard times. I was questioning my testimony. I was questioning life. As Elder Wirthlin said these words, that 'come what may and love it', I just started crying. This talk had been an answer to my prayers. I needed someone to show me that it did not matter what life threw at me, that I could have a happy attitude about it.

So if you know me, you have probably  heard me say this phrase. I apply it to everything. It helps me keep the eternal perspective. If I get a B in a class, come what may and love it. If I have a bad day, come what may and love it.

This is my life.
So 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 ...

Suicide Prevention Week- Accessing Christ's Atonement for Spiritual and Emotional Help

I have been meaning to get a blog post written as soon as I read that it was Suicide Prevention Week on Facebook. I love the publicity that this is getting now, verses a few years ago. I think that by being open about talking about suicide, we are preventing a lot of suicides from happening. Why? Because that teenager or adult that doesn't understand what they are feeling now sees how to get help. They see that they shouldn't feel embarrassed or ashamed, but that other people feel this way too.  I have talked about my own thoughts of suicide before, but today I wanted to share some hope. I absolutely cringed when Robin Williams committed suicide and everyone kept saying that he was "free". Yes, he had fought a good fight, but I was so scared of it encouraging others to commit suicide to escape because they wanted the same freedom.  Today, I want to share something that I shared with a family member before about how to use Jesus Christ's atonement to receive sp...

Room and Board (Part 1)

College is EXPENSIVE ! I had always known college cost lots of money-but with BYU costing about $3000 per semester tuition, I thought it wouldn't be that bad. What people DON'T tell you is that it cost a ton to just live while in college. I got an email today telling me that on March 9th, they will send me another email telling me when I can sign up for housing. So I have been looking up all this information about different housing on campus and meal plans. There are so many options and choses that have to be made. If you are bad at making decisions that are life altering...college is definitely not for you. Just to make sure that you are going to be fed everyday is a chore. There are about four or five meal choices that people have at BYU. Right now I am deciding between two. Dining Plus COST: $3,990/ semester DAILY ALLOCATION: 11.10 'Dining Dollars' Anything that is not spent at the end of the day will be added on ...
