I Have Been Changed for Good

Coming to EAC was the best thing i could have done for myself. Growing up i was crazy. I remember my mom would always tell me that she was worried about the path i was going to take in life. As much as that upset me, it made me realize the love she had for me. I was able to reflect on those words time time again growing up. Now, i am so grateful to her for opening my eyes and helping me realize the importance of living a righteous life. I came to EAC a year and a half ago as a immature little freshman with a testimony that could help me get by, to a sophmore, with a testimony that could get me through anything life threw at me. I have learned so many things here...I have learned that it is all about timing, that there is a guy out there for me, and  when the time is right we will both know it. I have learned the true importance of daily scripture study, tithing, communicating with god, and most importantly i have learned of the perfect LOVE Christ has for me and all of his children. I have gone from a little girl with a testimony built off my parents, to a sophmore in college with a solid testimony. How grateful i am for those moments in life where you could, in no way deny the gospel.

Words of Encouragement

Life isn't easy! In fact, God said life wouldn't be easy, he just promised us that it would be worth it. If you are being faithful and fallowing the lords commandments you have nothing to worry about! He also promised us that he would never give us a trial that we wouldn't be able to over come. I have tried getting through trials and disappointments without the help of my savior, and it is IMPOSSIBLE! We need him in every aspect of our lives and in every choice we make! This last semester i was going through a terrible time. Everything was going wrong! I was struggling financially, educationally, emotionally, and even spiritually. I felt like life would never get better but i than i turned to heavenly father for guidance. As i turned to him i started noticing the good things that were taking place in my life rather than focusing on all the bad! It was a very growing, spiritual experience. I became so much closer to the savior and i truly understood what i needed to do to be happy again. I don't know what will happen in my life, but my journey is clear. I know that if i stand with Christ everything will work out! Right now my family is going through a hard time, and i just wish i could be home to help out. We are a very strong family, and we are going to get through this because Christ promised that we would.

MY MEANINGFUL CHRISTMAS


I hate to admit it, but growing up i was always the selfish type around Christmas time.I was always asking for ridiculous things, way out of our price rang and if i didn't get it...i was "destroyed". Last year i decided that i was going to change and try for a better experience. I made a goal to finish the Book of Mormon on Christmas day! Before everyone woke up to open gifts as a family (guessing it was around 5 in the morning) I read the last chapter of the Book of Mormon and found out for myself  that it was true. That was by far the greatest gift i was ever able to receive on christmas. It helped me to open up my heart to the true meaning of Christmas and i was able to center that day around christ. That turned out to be the great christmas i have ever had! This year i went home for thanksgiving to visit my family and for black friday we went to walmart. My mom told us before we shop for ourselves, we need to pick a name off the walmart tree. We picked a 4 year old girl. She asked for some blocks, a snow suite, and a baby doll. It was a wonderful experience to step out side of our selves and focus on someone else. I'm sure that we are going to make that little girls christmas unforgettable, and i wish i was able to see her face when she opens the gifts. I hope all of us can focus on the true meaning of christmas, and serve someone else. The lord said that when you are in the service of your fellow men, you are only in the service of your god :)

To Help Me Grow Stronger

This week i have been really really stressed out about money and trying to find a job so i can pay bills! So many things are going on right now in my life that are just waying me down. I caught my self asking heavenly father "why me?" as if he didn't know what i was going through already!
He knows what each of us are going through and that it is going to only make us stronger if we have the will power to get through it. Christ promised us that he would never give us a trial that we weren't capable of overcoming! GOOD THINGS ARE TO COME and that's what should keep us going!

Beautiful Heartbreaks...

This song really touched me a lot! We all go through tough times in our lives at one point or another. Some go through harder things than others but that is not the point! The message that this song is trying to portray is that through times of trial you can find great life lessons. Rather than taking a certain trial and dwelling on it, you can take it and have it change your life and let it mold you into the person heavenly father intended you to be. The trials in my life have only helped me grow spiritually and realize that i have the lords hand in my life! He is carrying each of us threw our lives and he wants to help us. It is up to you to let him.

7 keys to being HAPPY...


  1. Know that Jesus Christ has already felt that pain...and that you dont have to bare it because he already has.
  2. Realize that it only a short time and that things will get better.
  3. Make righteous choices.
  4. Believe in your abilities.
  5. develop positive habits.
  6. Serve someone in need
  7. Smile even when you dont feel like it.
I know that if try to be better at this list of things, you will be happier. Yesterday i was having a pretty hard day and i was feeling a little down, so i decided i was going to do an act of service for someone else. Not only did it make her day, but my day got better as well. It feels so good to help someone else! Just when you think your life is hard and you cant take it anymore...you see someone else who is having an even harder time.
