ammon

"...I do not boast in my own strength, nor in my own wisdom; but behold, my joy is full, yea, my heart is brim with joy and i will rejoice in my God. Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things; yea, behold, many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise his name forever.....Therefore, let us glory, yea, we will glory in the Lord; yeah, we will rejoice for our joy is full; yea, we will praise our God forever. Behold, who can glory too much in the Lord? Yea, who can say too much of his great power, and of his mercy, and of his long-suffering towards the children of men? Behold, I say unto you, I cannot say the smallest part which I feel."

chapter 26 in Alma. took the words right out of my mouth

click here to watch a real neat video.

i was just surfin youtube and came across this. i think its amazing. so i thought id share with whoever reads my blog. enjoy.

....

im just a girl.
but a girl is powerful. i can be an influence for good. i can be that girl
sure, im just a girl
but i can be the girl.
the girl to turn to, who you can trust. i can be her.
i can be strong. i am strong.
i want to be that girl.

light of Christ

i was in institute the other day and heard this...
"there will be boys...(or girls)...that will see the light of Christ in your eyes and will fall in love with it....you dont need to date all of them."
people are drawn to the light of Christ, but who said you have to date ever single one of them. you can be their friend. if being around you makes them want to be better then great! but dont settle for anything less than what you have set your sights on.

make a toast to life

although life is tough and can get us down, enjoy it! life is so short-too short. LIVE! when the day is over, its gone. no rewinding, no pause, and no fast forward. why would you want to do that. surround yourself with happy people who want you to be happy and you want to make them happy. surround yourself with the gospel. true happiness and true joy are found there. LOVE. when you love yourself its easy to love others. making others happy can only make you happy. so make a toast to life and live it.

problem

i have a cat. or atleast i thought i had one. i went to st george with a couple of my roommates one weekend to go look for a cat to adopt. we looked at wal mart, petsmart, on the street, then we found this lil pet store. it was the last place we looked, and we found this adorable lil kitten. she was brand new to the store, just came in the day before. we had to have her. so, me, riley, and stacey all pitched in and got her. along with the new addition we bought cat food, litter, and a litter box. i gave her the name pu nani, and it stuck. we took her home and stacey decided that she would live downstairs. she is the only one who lives downstairs. then she took her home one weekend without telling either of us. then took her home for thanksgiving and christmas. cool. did she ever ask if i wanted to take the cat? no. do i have to ask to take my own cat? she didnt ask. i have seen her once since being back from christmas break. she is no kitten anymore. she is huge. i dont call her nani anymore, because i dont know her. i just call her cat. she isnt mine. stacey can have her. moral of the story: dont buy kittens with your roommates thinking you will have a pet. you wont. she will.

i look in a colorless kaleidoscope with my eyes wide shut . im going nowhere. doing nothing. running backwards, slowly. the silence is piercing. but i silence the noise. im silently thinking outloud. knowledge? we have no clue. unknown knowledge is the only thing im sure of.

socrates? plato? descartes? PHILOSPHY. means nothing to me.

heat? never heard of it

day 1-figured out no heat in the house, went to brush my teeth. frozen toothpaste.
day 2-no sleep the night before, frost bitten toes. ran in place for a half hour thinkin it would help. it did. for 3 min.
day 3-leggings, two pairs of sweats, two pairs of socks, thermal, two hoodies, and a beanie....thinking i will be warm. doesn't happen
day 4-getting used to being cold. still miserable
day 5-we burned everything wood in our house to make a fire. no longer have a door. ;)
