A change...

Hey, i'm updating the blog, guys!! So, lately, things are going really great for me. I love my new school, I am making friends gradually, and I am doing something with my life! I mean, not downgrading where I used to live, but I really feel like a ship of opportunity is waiting for me to climb aboard to take me to a destiny that I'm not expecting. I'm skillfully avoiding as much of the annoyances and disturbances of the school and yes, they are everywhere no doubt. But overall, I'm really happy where I am right now in my life. My attitude is reflected by others, which brings happiness to my life. I feel less hectic than before, and i like that feeling of peace. Sports are coming up soon and softball is number #1 on the list to join...but i don't want to struggle defensively and embaress myself again. Fast pitches are the pinnacle of my struggles in softball. When will i get over them? I've been playing softball for about 12 years now, and you would think that i know how to hit a ball coming maybe 65 or 70 mph down the plate. Maybe foul it off once, and then it's a strikeout for me. But I really didn't come here to point out my troubles so that people can show me sympathy. I just got a little off topic. Anyways, I just wonder if I should ever try something else for once in my life. My life has been this never-ending daily routine that I wish I could just get over. I can deal with change and it can be fun, but my life isn't exactly what you might call, spontaneous. I don't know. Maybe i'm just boring. haha well, i'm tired so, goodnight. I'm glad i was able to share my personal life with whoever might be reading this! :) -Ali <3

Consider the Lilies

Image
"Consider the Lilies How they Grow: they toil not, they spin not..." Luke 12:27 I want to share an experience I had today. This morning I woke up feeling sick and the rest of the day was just kind of blah. Sometimes I have days where I feel like I don't have a place in the world and I forget my value. And today was one of those days.  I got home and knelt down to pray to Heavenly Father. It's kind of one of those pleading prayers that you just really really need him to answer and you just want to know that he is there and listening. Well, during the prayer, I could feel comfort flood my body (also not the first time I have received his spirit like that). So I knew that was his initial connection to me to show me he was there, listening. And then I got an idea to go watch those Bible Videos that the church comes out with. I cannot describe the love I felt from Heavenly Father as I watched them. Every word Christ was saying was everything I needed to here.  ...

Spring Semester 2017

Image
After the mission, there comes a time in your life where everything starts to flow back together again. For me, that was the Spring semester of 2017. Just 4 months off of my mission. These times are crucial. I do remember how hard it was for me to find a job and how difficult the social scene was back at school. I was not only a weirdo around my friends (though somehow still the same) but dating was also a struggle. There's this idea (especially now in our culture) that every return missionary NEEDS to get married 6 months to a year after their missions. Now, I applaud those who can actually manage to make that work. So, in some weird way, I thought that dating would be fairly easy, right? Wrong. I actually managed to get zero dates fall semester. Was I doing anything wrong? At first, I thought yes. But what I learned from this experience of not dating was that the Lord placed me in the time that I needed to be with the people I needed to be for a reason. I needed to get th...

Having Confidence No Matter What

Guys, let's be honest, I don't think anyone (me most of all) has mastered this whole confidence thing. So I'm not writing this out of my own experience of having this amazing confidence, but what I have observed from other people and what I have learned as someone who grew up being not confident in herself. Well, I think everyone struggles or has struggled with confidence issues at one point or two in their lives. If you haven't, WHAT IS YOUR SECRET AND HOW DO YOU EVEN. I want to address two parts of confidence in yourself. 1. Having confidence in what you are capable of. Which brings me to this quote: "The quickest way to acquire self confidence is to do exactly what you are afraid to do."-Anonymous  I LOVE this quote because when I read it, I automatically thought of all the times in my life I wanted to do something, but I was too afraid of either rejection or it not working out or something. Our biggest problem, the reason why we aren't confide...
