Take 3

Well here we go again!!!! So I haven't been to good with this whole blog thing and keeping up with it, but seeing as life has thrown soo many surprises at me this past year I thought, what the heck why not write about them seeing as I constantly find myself repeating the same old story. from now on I will just refer everyone interested in a 19 yrs life well here it is. So College is nothing but another path in finding out who you are and how wise you are in handling situations that come with roommates, teachers, cooking, friends and oh yes lets not forget what grown-ups like to call it as "LOVE" or what I like to refer to as "heartbreaks, chick-flicks, another box of tissues and lets not forget 15 extra minutes ill need at the gym after having " a few" spoons of cookie dough" yep that just about covers it. It all started out when I walked unto campus and saw a lake of good looking men, I knew that I was in for a ride of emotions and "what did I see in him" so lets begin with Jason, I can't believe I'm saying this but he was a ginger. yep me and a ginger, I know I know.... Ginger and I never belonged in the same sentence but I don't know it must have been the combination of too much snow and potatoes that made me attracted to him. Don't get me wrong he was a very sweet guy well lets just say that ended quiet fast, red heads and merengue didn't mix very well. At least I can cross that experiment off my to do list.

I've always known that I need to be grateful for the things I have and always give thanks, but i never hit me until today, as I found out a girl from back home has gone into a coma due to a cardiac arrest that was caused by a bad asthma attack. They don't know if she will be able to make it and she is only 24 and has been married for a year. Today I realized that just being here on earth, right here at BYU-I is a miracle. Being here breathing is a gift that my Father in heaven has granted me. As she awaits here between life and death, her family pleading for her life as they cling to their testimony in Christ and God, it really makes me grateful for what I have. You will never know when you are going to depart and return to our father's presence. I shall not take for granted the little things in life anymore. The beauty of what he has created for us to enjoy. The opportunities we have to meet new people each day. We are his hands here on earth and we need to get started in his work for the time will come quickly when he once again comes and gathers his flock. We need to not take for granted the wonderful people he has placed by our side. Enjoy the little moments in life. Take time to smile. The lord has given us trials in this life to grow and to have faith in him. It is only through our savior and his grace that we can overcome what may come.
