Tacos, rowing, and going

It was 10 months ago that I last posted on my blog. I think it's because there has been too much going on or things that I feel wouldn't interest people. Sometimes it is hard to try to find the right words that would encourage others or making them laugh until their stomach hurts. I really enjoy doing both of those things. But today I realize that my blog isn't for any specific person. I have missed writing on my blog. Today I came home from church just thinking wow, I need to write some things down about church and life. 

Today I really loved church. Now I am not saying that I don't like it every Sunday but sometimes my mind wanders and I start thinking about the next weeks events, boys, or tacos. (Because to be honest most of the time that is what is on my mind) Today though, I loved the lessons and talks given. The ones that especially stood out to me were talking about the Plan of Salvation and Testimonies. In the first lesson, the teacher had many of her friends that had joined my church share their experiences about hearing about the Plan of Salvation for the first time. It was amazing their testimonies they shared. I sometimes take for granted all the truths I know and believe. Then in Relief Society we talked about our testimonies and what they can motivate us to do and become. 

I just want to share that I believe God loves me and knows me perfectly. I believe that I lived with Him before I came to this earth. I believe that my life has meaning and that God made a beautiful plan for all of us. I believe I chose to come to this earth and have trials and happiness. I believe God sent His son, Jesus Christ to show me how to live and be happy by loving others and coming to know God through His son. I believe that because of Jesus Christ, death is not the end. I believe that if I do my very best on earth and turn to Jesus and God I can have peace and live with both of them again. 

These truths have been taught to me my whole life. I am so grateful for them. They give me hope and happiness now. I know they are true because I have prayed about them and received a definite answer in my heart from God that they are true. Man He really loves me! And He really loves you too!

God loves my quarks. He loves me for me. I love tacos. I love puzzles. I love italian leather. I love having my clothes match. I love hoodies. I love rowing (yes like exercise rowing, I have no idea why but it's a new love). I love the lake. I love my family. I love having my hair braided. I love the store Jane.com online. I love laughing. I love jumping into my sister, Kindra's arms. I love caramel M&Ms. I love Dr. Pepper. I love having tickle fights with my brother Trey. I love going on walks to clear my mind. I love nice weather, especially in Rexburg!!! 

All these random things I love may seem dumb or stupid and some of them really are. God knows each of these details about me and more. And He cares about my love for these things!! That's how much God loves us. He knows the desire of our hearts and what we desire each day. If we include Him in our lives, he will make these fun things we love even more fun and special!

And even when life isn't going how we want, we just keep rowing. Also don't ever try to scratch your head and row at the same time, I almost fell off of the machine the other day.
