Another shot!!



Here we have another picture of the Palmyra Temple, I'll have to check, I'm almost positive this is the Temple but I'll still check.

This is the railing by the stairs that lead into the Seventies Hall.

The Seventies Hall

Okay here is another shot in Nauvoo! This is the Seventies Hall, the street right there is also Parley's Street just like the picture from below!

Number two blog!!!


Okay so I decided to make a new blog for multiple reasons, one I couldn't get past the horror of switching my template to a new one without SOMETHING being deleted from my page, and two I need something happier because I'm so in the mood to see something brighter! So I have been looking at a great blog by one of my real great friends and saw that she had placed pictures that she has took over the last few months of things that mean something to her and I liked that! Hey Laundry, I'm taking your idea, I love you girl! So now I'll be placing pictures that I've taken over the years that has meant also something to me.
So far I think that the pictures that have meant the most to me are the pictures that I took over my Birthday, Graduation present, and also Senior Trip, I took a 19 day Church History tour. So the first picture that you see is of the Palmyra Temple, taken June 22, 2008. As you see above, I've titled this blog, "It gets easier to breathe" and I think that it is just perfect! I got the line from a movie called Sons of Provo, in which Kirby Heyborne sings this one line which I'm going to quote.

"I'm holding on and I am brave As it gets easier to breathe. I can face today. Where no one's left behind and no one's left for wanting."


I just love, love, love, LOVE this one line in the song, I know that this is true! But also behind this one odd line of song is a deep meaning to me.
Over the years I have have come to think that each step, or choice that we make today, tomorrow, or even yesterday, ANYTIME in our lives, all of it is leading us either closer or either farther away from our Heavenly Father and our Brother Jesus Christ. Over the last few months and also on some of my past years, my Heavenly Father was testing me in some ways I couldn't understand why it was happening. To this day I still don't understand some of the trials that I went through, why I felt what I felt, why I did what I did, and eventually why I acted the way I acted. I will never be able to understand the full plan of Heavenly Fathers and Jesus Christ, but I do know that I did in the Pre-Existence and I chose my life on this planet, I know I wish it was different, but if it was I really wouldn't have learned what lessons I have learned. But with all my heart I do know this, I don't always think of the long run when I am dealing with a trial, sometimes I tend to think and say that I don't deserve to have this happening to me, oh great here we go again, I'll admit that I have said some of those things before and some more recently than others. So I think I'll end this post but here's something else, I do know that if we exercise our faith in Jesus Christ the Creator, our friend, our Brother, and our only Advocate to the Father, we can be saved, through him and only by him, because he paid. HE PAID for ALL of OUR SINS, I don't understand the Atonement enough to say how he did it, but I do know that he has felt what I have felt up to this point, he has felt my scrapes and bruises, my aches and pains, my longing for a dream to come true, my first broken heart. He has felt it all, my overshadowing disappointment to my ultimate happiness he has felt ALL PEOPLE, ALL PEOPLE, all of their sorrows, their hurting, their sins, if only we can place them on his shoulders will he say that is enough, and even HE WILL FORGET THEM.


Okay here is the first picture. This was taken on either Friday June 13Th or Saturday June 14Th, 2008. This is of the road also known as, Parley's Street, I absolutely love this street, and I just love Navuoo there is something there that you can feel that is just indescribable, well except for the mosquito's!
