New Years Resolutions!

So I have decided that I should do more realistic New Year resolutions this year. Since last year that is what I did and I actually kept most of my goals. Whereas most years I keep maybe one of them or more like none of them. It's pretty sad, but I decided with my Mom that most resolutions don't happen because they aren't realistic goals. So this year I'm going to follow in the same pattern of last year and make realistic goals! :) So I'm not making known what most of the goals are for the year of 2015, but one main goal is that I decided that I'm going to be a regular journal/blog writer. So don't be alarmed when I happen to have an updated blog fairly often. :D Since I actually know of a website where you can print your blog off of, so it's basically the same as journal writing except that unlike journals there can also be pictures involved.

Stay tuned for more blogs from me! :D

Some interesting facts of the week are that it's super cold here and there is plenty of snow as well. So it's been fun going out in the snow and drinking hot chocolate. :D

Here I am with curly hair for Amanda and Paul's wedding!!!                                                              

Marvin and Nelson kissing Amanda good luck possibly!! :D                                                                 

I've been rather busy with many things during the holidays, in fact I'll have to tell about that in another posting later. But one thing I have done besides the 'snow fun' has also been doing scrap booking and family history. Some lovely pictures I've found have been from family weddings and etc. :)

It's real!!

There is this guy that is super young, probably like 3 or 4 years older then I am whose on the high council in my parents stake. Well he talked at our ward today and told about how he has a hospital related job. And his uncle apparently had a heart attack recently, well I'm assuming it was a heart attack because he said his uncle had 'several cardio lapses'. (I think is what he said) But due to that all the doctors thought he'd basically die, although this guy knew he wouldn't. Not due to false hopes or whatever due to it being a relative, but because someone had given him a blessing basically saying 'you will survive.' And now his uncle is home from the hospital and did not die obviously. But I kind of just had the thought, which he didn't even reference to in the talk at all about. But I just thought 'well the blessing worked because they had faith, but if they hadn't of had faith he could have still died.' So funny enough after church we were watching this movie about this guy named John Tanner. And he had a bad leg basically where he couldn't even really walk. And due to lack of technology all the doctors told him he'd die if he didn't get rid of the leg. Well he didn't want to do it and was basically planning to die, but then met some LDS missionaries. Who wanted him to get baptized and he said that he couldn't get baptized due to his bad leg. Well basically they gave him a blessing and he walked again. (and his bad leg never returned again) Strangely enough the doctors, absolutely none of the doctors could save him. And then through some miracle his leg was saved and he didn't die.

I just thought it was funny that all these faith related stories or talks at church came up today. Just so you all know faith is a real thing and I've never had any form of illness just leave like that. (because I generally have good health) But I've had things happen where I was in a bad situation and someone just showed up that shouldn't have. Kind of like the other day I was driving and basically got what is called 'road rage', because this 4 hour trip turned into 5 1/2 trip. Due to missing an exit on the freeway and then my car decided to be silly, so I was having minor problems with that. But when I was fairly close to my parents house I was sick of the drive and started speeding, but also was distracted due to the problems and I'm blaming it more on that. Haha. :) But funny enough I got pulled over and luckily just got a warning. I'm extremely glad about that. But the funny part was that I seemed to fair alot better after the interruption of getting pulled over. So apparently talking to someone, even if it was a policemen, helped me to lose the road rage. And the drive for the next 45 minutes was much better, so yeah don't miss exits is all I have to say. :) But apparently that saying is true about how God will send you angels to help you in life, although generally in the form of people. :) So I never like getting pulled over, but in this situation the getting pulled over was a good thing.

My point basically though is that faith is real and can seriously help us in life, even if it's not a huge miracle. But even in the minor problems of life and all you need to do is pray, along with having the faith to make the miracles happen. (or receiving blessings)
