Just Words...

I am finding myself having one of those moments where I just have thoughts and I want to record them. I usually write them in my journal but that takes more time then I have and it is quicker to type. So I've decided to type them up on my blog. If anyone is interested enough to know what type of ideas pass through my mind you are welcome to continue to read on otherwise you can exit out and save yourself a few minutes in your day...

I am humbled by the reality of my human weaknesses. Oh how strong I feel my faith is at times and yet sometimes the wind blows and I feel so weak. My life at times may contradict it's self but I don't give up. I keep on going and wait because it always gets better. Most of the time it is that one small simple thing that you needed to hear that makes all the different, or at least enough of a difference that you feel as if you've can get back on your feet and keep on going.

Today I am grateful for my biggest struggles because I can clearly recognize my increase of empathy and patience with others when they are having a bad day. Sometimes others act outwardly the way that I feel inwardly. Although I may not choose to express myself in the way they do I can understand that we, as humans, simply just have hard days every once in a while and we all wish we could have someone be a little bit more patience, a little bit more understanding, and a little bit more willing to give us the benefit of the doubt as we all find ourselves passing through those types of days. Thus I am grateful for this perspective to help me reach out in love and patience with others as we all deserve to be treated with goodness.

This weekend is a great example of why my life is BEAUTIFUL!!!!

Look at these beautiful colors! My life is definitely not black and white nor plain.

I'm enjoying how white these picture are making my teeth look.

The afro in the back is cracking me up and I'm  loving it. Plus he was a way nice guy and took a picture of the three of us for us. When it was announced that it was free hugs and you were supposed to hug someone that you didn't already know he should have been the first one I went to.

A little bit about the three of us. We are all from Tennessee and no matter where we are if it is the three of us we are having a BLAST! Of course that could be said for me and most of my Tennessee friends. We are missing a lot of us from this group so I am grateful that I have a little bit of Tennessee right here with me in Utah.

I just love how sincerely happy I was in this moment. Get ready Sara you know something is coming!!!!

This wasn't the end of my wonderful weekend. I had to get to work early Sunday morning. To my wonderful surprise I was able to ride horses with some of the people I work with.

So I wasn't able to get any pictures of me riding the horses. That wasn't exactly on my mind while I was riding I was just excited for the great opportunity. It has been years since I've ridden and it felt so natural!

I have this picture because I learned how to groom a horse as well. I cleaned their fur and brushed their main. There were so many pretty horses. I think horses are some of my favorite animals. I'm warming up to animals lately. There was a point a few weeks ago I would have loved to get a puppy, but it would have had to be one that I considered adorable.

What is happening to me I AM CHANGING and I love love LOVE it! 

I feel so overwhelmingly blessed for the privileges that my Heavenly Father provides for me daily. I can feel him in the details of my life and the blessings of the tender mercies of the Lord. All good things in my life are a direct gift from God. The more we live in accordance with the Laws of Heaven the more our Heavenly Father is able to bless us.
