Unfortunately, I don't necessarily have much of anything new to share with people right now and life has continued to be a little busier than usual, but it is all good at the same time!!! I am truly grateful and excited for the many more experiences that will take place this coming year, but if you must know I am really quite anxious to see how they turn out down the road. I am determined to make the best of everything that comes in my way this next year and would literally do whatever it takes to overcome it with courage. Some of you out there know that I have considered doing this inspiring non beauty pageant for awhile and I've not registered for it quite yet. I really wish there was more information for me to share with you guys on this new chapter of my life, but after my questions are answered--I will have stories to share and memories to write up about for you all to read!!
Special Needs Institute
My twin sister and I have been attending this class for a couple of years now, which almost seems a little crazy when you think about how long it has gone on. We have enjoyed getting to feel the spirit every week with friends who are continuously striving to be more like our Savior, Jesus Christ each day and it warms my heart to know that they are making this world a better place. I am grateful for the many blessings that have come from this experience and remembering what my purpose is here on earth. I have really liked getting to meet so many new people who are just like me & love feeling the spirit talk to them as we listen to the lessons given by our wonderful teachers. We may not be so close as friends in anyway whatsoever, but they have made every week so much fun and sharing lots of laughs only puts a bigger smile on my face.
Heartbreak Update:
This year has made me reflect so much on how much stronger of a person I'm becoming everyday & not feeling afraid to speak up for what is a priority in my life. I know it is through him that all of us can strive a little harder to pay more attention to what is going on around me. I am truly blessed for the many people who have kept me in their thoughts and prayers, even when I was doing great--so many tears were being shed at the same time. I know it will never get any easy after having faced the most difficult heartbreak ever and it will not be my last one either. It will only get better as the months/weeks/years go on, despite everything in this life has continues to happen for each of us...but never lose hope on what it is helping ya become along the way.
I also have been able to feel this literal inner strength inside of me to keep me on my toes and realize that despite however many challenges, that come in my way I will always have the Savior on my side to help me through any situation. I've also been able to understand that regardless of what others think of me in this world or how I look at all of my struggles in life...There is someone who has already paid the price for us and I am forever grateful to him for his willingness to give up his life so that we could be the people we are today. I know it will never get any easier with the more heartbreaks that I will be experiencing throughout my life as the years go on, but I will never lose hope in what is most important to me and trying to strive everyday to have him be the center of my life in everything that occurs to me on a regular basis.
Whether or not I have been able to see that at times throughout this year, is a completely different story for me to tell at some other time down the road but I am truly blessed for the opportunities that this experience has given me to persevere as well as make the best of everything that life throws at us. It has made me recognize his hand in everything that has happened to me this year, because without him I would not have made it to the example I am going to be for others.
