Jesus Christ Lives, And, He Loves Us.

I Know He Loves Us.

I know He Died for Us.

I Know He never gave Any of us, something we couldn't handle.

I know when we Feel we can't Handle it, He can Strengthen Us.

I know He guides Us.

I know He has provided a Way for Us, that we Might all Return to Him.

I know that Through him, we find Peace and Happiness.

I know that Following His path and His way, will Only Bring Us Joy.

I know His Gospel is Right and True.

I know he Put Special Guidelines for us, Because they are Right and can only bring us to Him.

I know When that Sweet Spirit is Near, I feel Calm.

Sometimes, I don't Know Much.

But I KNOW this:

There will never be a moment in my life when I ask where God is.

He is There, in Heaven.

Looking down on us, Putting a guiding light in our lives.

Loving us, Preparing Us, Teaching Us, Strengthening Us.

He Will NEVER leave us.

Because

I KNOW

He Loves Us.

The Curse of Independance

As I sit and think about the past few months of my life

I realize how different of a person I am.

I feel guilty at the outcome and often wonder what I will learn

But I also know what I have already Learned.

As many of you may know, And many of you may not

I was married for a little over a year of my life

To an amazing guy with a heart of gold

But Sometimes we make mistakes

and do things that don't make sense

Ever.

Well, I've also been divorced.

In my 22 years of life in this planet

I have never learned more of myself than in this last year.

I know, it was alot to go through

just to learn some

But I know, that in the end

It will be a blessing.

Heavenly Father loves each of us and wants each of us to be Happy.

And when I say Happy, I mean Completely Peaceful.

If we aren't, He doesn't expect us to stay that way.

Well Ever since I've come back to Mesa

I have had to adjust alot.

I am finally going to start my old job back up

which I am afraid of. I feel like Ill Fail.

I havent worked in a year.

I fee like Everything I do

is like a new start

But I also feel like Im new at all of it.

Its scary to be someone for so long

and Meet a New You.

Then have to return to the old you once again.

Im afraid to Live life. Im afraid to Run and Let myself Fly.

Im a Dreamer.

Its a curse.

I Dream all day of how I want to be, Who I want to become.

Everyday I strive to be better at something.

Some things I have decided for myself:

1. Be outgoing, Don't be afraid of anyone. Chances are, they are just as scared.

2.Make new friends,Love people, Love yourself- and others will too

3. Work Hard.Working hard makes me strong and capable of so much more.

4. Smile all day. Don't let the little things take away your sunshine.

5.Be kind. To everyone, Love them like they are you Family. Drop what you're doing and serve them.

6. Take in the moments, not the hours.

7.Enjoy the small things. But Don't ignore the big moments in life.

8. Trust myself to Be. Be good, Be happy,Be smart, Be wonderful,Be intelligent, Be kind, Be patient, Be selfless.

9.Don't be afraid to follow your dreams. Take that random trip, Sing out loud while your driving, Dance around the kitchen, Smile at a stranger, Take chances, Take Risks, Learn new things, Never be afraid. Nothing can stop you, But you.

10. Love unconditionally. Myself and Others.

As I read this list, Im certain I have left some out

Im certain I have thought of others

and they may be significant or not.

But thats No matter.

Because I know that As I try to do this, sometimes Ill be brought down.

I am the only one who can let myself feel defeated.

But today, I felt defeated.

I havent been working as much as I needed

I havent done all that I can to better myself

I have made dumb decisions

But

Its Okay.

I learn.

We never stop learning.

I know that when My clutch is bad, I shouldnt drive to Tucson.

I know that when I have No money I should go spending it.

I can recognize the feeling that tells me something isn't a good idea.

This week I have tried to make friends

And because I am so attracted to things that guys like, I like to make friends with them.

I decided not to be afraid of myself

So I introduced myself to a guy at the mud bogs who is a mechanic and Likes to play in the dirt.

He is a good friend now.

If I want to work on a truck, just to learn how It works,

He will do it with me.

I decided to reconnect with old friends

Ones who will go to midnight movies, and get pumped about going to Las Vegas with me

Just because we wanna Dress like we're millionaires.

I let myself go offroading with some new people

and had a blast.

I didnt hold myself back.

Now they are good friends

The kind who call at 10pm to go cruise the desert

or hit the mud bogs

or go find treasure around town.

I like being me,

Im spontaneous

Not embarrassed to act stupid

Crazy

Slap Happy

Random

I love to play in the dirt

Do something crazy just to feel that way

I like being confusing

I like not knowing what tommorrow will hold

I like getting excited about one night camping trips

just to leave and come right back

I love the smell of gasoline

Lyin on the ground just to look under a truck

I love the sunshine

Loud music and driving fast.

I am me. And I am okay with that.

I try to be honest and tell it how it is.

My friend is struggling right now, he has been in my life for 5 years now. And I have always cared about him. I care about my friends.

I have a tendancy to love unconditionally.

That is my downfall.

My mom tells me Not to count on making alot of guy friends because guys my age

want wives

and I just wanna be Friends.

Shes So right.

But it makes me angry. I just want to be a good friend, maybe I just wanna be one of the guys.

Today I went to walmart and Bought My friend some survival goodies and put them in a bag.

and I took them to his moms house just so he Could have a surprise.

My brother told me Not to be TOO nice.

I got so angry.

I just want to be kind. I did it because I know it will Help. Because I know it will make things easier on him. Because I care.

And thats all I want.

I want to be ME, without all the assumptions, the judgements.

I want things to make sense, I want others to understand who I am.

I will always want to do and be the kindest person I can.

If that means making a package just so you Smile.

So

be

It.

If I want to drive 2hours just to be with an old friend, Just to escape here, and go there.

Trust me.

I can.

I know Im independant-

I want to drive far-

all by myself

I want to buy my own things

pay my own bills

I want to be tell you you are amazing

and Not feel like Ill lead you on

I want to tell you YOU CAN

and Not have everyone tell me I am making you believe something else.

I want to Love you and Not feel like I have to marry you.

I want to smile at you, just so you smile.

I want to rub your back, because it hurts, And I want to help.

I want to give you a note because your day was bad.

I want to Laugh because your funny

or

call you to see how you are.

When I say You, I mean all my friends.

I want my friends, my family

to know I love them.

I want to tell you I love you

and I hope you know I mean it.

I dont want being me, or being independant to be a curse.

I dont think its meant to be that way.

I want to do what guys do, I want to sleep under the stars

fix things that are broken

have dirt on my face and not care

Have my hair in a mess, and it be no matter,

I want to have a zit and not feel like pounds of makeup is needed to impress you.

I want to come over in sweats and a ponytail just to hang out and relax.

I want to eat food and not feel like im being compared to the anorexic girl next to me

I want to be proud of my chubby self and to love me, for me.

If you dont like how I look, Its okay.

Everyone is different. I dont need the world to love me

I love me.

And thats all that matters.

I hope I can make new friends

and have them forever.

I hope I can continue to learn about Me

and Love me

I know sometimes Ill doubt myself

But its okay

Ill be stronger tommorrow.

I Know who I am, And what I feel and what I mean. And I promise to be honest and kind.

I Promise to never give Up on myself

or on my family

or friends.

I promise to remember I CAN.

I always can.

And I know you can too.

I have a purpose on this earth

And its not to hide behind my fears

or run away from an oppurtunity.

Its to embrace to the good, and be the best.

The worth of Souls is Great in the Sight of God.

Love, Bree
