Life Lately

     Hello friends, family and other readers of my blog! Welcome to another installment in my not-so-exciting life! I have officially entered summertime, even though the weather in Provo wouldn't know it. We have had more cloudy days in the last month than we did all winter long. Hopefully that doesn't keep up for too much longer, because honey child needs to get some sunshine on her pale pale legs.

     Anywho, life is life. I'm working as close to full-time as I can get, which gets a little monotonous at times, but such is life. The ladies of the P&S keep it entertaining at least. :) I am adjusting to the concept of "free time", which is odd but I'm not hating it because I've already read 4 books and I am only just beginning. I am beyond grateful that I haven't lost my love for reading, because there are few things that can compare to reading a really good book. I just finished reading "The Help" for the third or fourth time, and it just gets better each time I read it. Seriously, if you are reading this post and haven't yet read that book, leave this page right now and get your hands on a copy. It's amazing.

     The thoughts that inspired the writing of this post came from the lesson I had in Relief Society this Sunday. We were talking about the Book of Mormon, but more specifically our relationship with the Savior. We talked about when we last felt like we truly desired to find God in our lives. I haven't had a lesson hit me like this one did in a long time.
     I don't always post religious content on any of my social media platforms, and it's not because I don't have a testimony, it's just not something I consciously think about doing. But, I am going to try and change that. There is so much good in the world today, and I want to do my part to put it out there.
     We watched a video (Watch HERE) in Relief Society that had I not been thinking about it so hard, would have had me absolutely sobbing by the end. I encourage you to watch this and evaluate who Jesus Christ is to you. Today I was reminded that He is my older brother. He is my ultimate protector. He is the perfect example of finding and experiencing pure joy. He is the light of this world. He is the reason I can return to live with Heavenly Father and be with my family for eternity. He is the best listener and shoulder to cry on. He loves and cares for me more than I can even begin to fathom. And I owe him everything. I need to do more to show what I know. I am a firm believer in loving every person, simply because they are my brother or sister. As children of God, every person deserves my love and respect. So with that, I hope that my testimony can help someone, somewhere. I hope that this week is better than the last and that each day has something positive to be found. :)

love, BK
