NINJA Retreat 2017

I was really excited to have the opportunity of blogging about my next adventure with getting to be a participant in this NINJA Alumni Retreat in Salt Lake. I heard there was maybe a possibility that we'd be getting to spend overnight in a hotel and then going over to the LCPD reception the next day. I am super thrilled of being able to find out when this event will take place and sharing it with all of you. It has been postponed until the spring of this year so please stay tuned to watch for updates!!!

Night To Shine Prom 2017

This amazing & unforgettable prom night experience takes place for me in a week and a half. All of the anticipation and excitement that I have inside of me right now is literally almost unreal. I'm very thrilled to be sharing this special prom night with my best friends and getting to dance till our hearts are tired!! This prom experience is sponsored by the Tim Tebow Foundation and apparently it's been an event that has gone on for the past three years. It's ultimately one of those things that don't really come around very often and I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am to be a part of it. I have not gone to the prom since my high school years and I was very fortunate enough to have had that incredible opportunity. This prom is one of those things where it's literally almost over the top and takes about a year in the making to put together. I'd give more information away but for the sake of time, I'm just going to share with you this highlight video of the event is really like. 

Night To Shine 2017

Flashback

This week my twin sister and I have returned back to our special needs institute class at UVU. I am very thrilled to have the opportunity of feeling the spirit and getting as much out of the lessons as I possibly can. It's definitely been quite a whirlwind of emotions for me recently after experiencing a moment in my life where I didn't know what to do anymore. Nobody should ever feel down about themselves regardless of whatever it is they are going through & keep their head up. Way before all of this happened to me, I was feeling very much at peace with my life and trusting in my Savior for comfort. To make this long story short, I know that my heavenly father and Jesus Christ will always be there at my side to lift me up during the hardest of times. In the YW's theme, the very first line of that statement goes along like this: "We are daughters of our Heavenly Father who loves us and we love him." 

This powerful statement has gotten literally stuck inside my head & trying to apply it in my daily life as much as I can. I know without a shadow of a doubt that my Heavenly Father and Savior love me-- regardless of what I'm facing. I am not particularly sure why I feel the need to share this, but I know there will never be a moment when the love of my Savior won't be present. My life is not perfect and nobody that I've ever met is, but as we continue to strive to be more like our Father in heaven it's all going to be alright. I know it can appear to be difficult to recognize the lord's hand in our lives and if I am trying my absolute best to start noticing that more often. I didn't even think this statement would pop into my head and yet it has meant so much more to me than I ever thought possible. I am grateful for the purpose that I have here on this earth to fufill my mission as a daughter of God. I know things are not perfect in my life sometimes and that I have to keep pushing through those obstacles to finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. 

As I begin this new year in 2017, I am going to try my hardest to get back to where I was before and feel better about myself as a person. I know this week is definitely gonna be one that I continue to be closer to my Savior, Jesus Christ and never lose sight of what I know is true.
