Why a Blog

“I lived in heaven a long time ago, it is true;
Lived there and loved there with people I know. So did you.
Then Heavenly Father presented a beautiful plan,
All about earth and eternal salvation for man.”
-I lived in Heaven primary song

This is why I am here, writing this blog, because I made one decision, a very BIG decision to come here to earth and receive a body. This has got to be the BEST decision I have ever made. My life is so important and everyone else's as well :)
Life is to short to dwell on unhappy things, so my current assignment for myself is to write something positive every time something negative happens...because our trials are meant to make us stronger.
"Heavenly Father makes no mistakes, there are no accidents, we are no accident. We have a grand purpose in this life. He loves us so much and knows our trials and desperately wishes to take them away but he can't; if he did take them away there would be no point in being here, in learning, in becoming the best US possible..."- Me :D 
Expanding on that I received a hand out in Young Womens just today that matched what i just said a couple days a go :) 
"Have you ever thought: “I’m not very important so what I say or do will never really be noticed? What can I offer that will make any difference? What can I do that will truly help others, cause their lives to be different, to be better? Do I actually have any worthwhile talents? Is there anything I can do to reach another in need? I’m not that special. If I don’t help, someone else will come along and do a better job than I can do.”

One of the greatest challenges is to overcome the feeling that we are unimportant, that we are not special and unique. Do you think for a moment that Heavenly Father would have sent one of His children to this earth by accident, without the possibility of a significant work to perform?...

My dear friends, you are a royal generation. You were preserved to come to the earth in this time for a special purpose. Not just a few of you, but all of you. There are things for each of you to do that no one else can do as well as you. If you do not prepare to do them, they will not be done. Your mission is unique and distinctive for you. Please don’t make another have to take your place. He or she can’t do it as well as you can. If you will let Him, I testify that our Father in Heaven will walk with you through the journey of life and inspire you to know your special purpose here " -Bishop H. Burk Peterson

I love this quote because it sums up why we are all here and to never take for granted why we are here and why we are given the trials we are given. I love being weird, different, unique,crazy etc... what ever you want to call it I am me and I never want to be anyone else because God created me to be just the way I am. I may not be perfect but I am UNIQUELY ME :D
