A Way With Words

Some people have a way with words. Me on the other hand.....don't got none words good to say. I usually don't ever blog because I don't really have much to say or I don't know how to say it. The last few weeks, I have had some things that have sparked my mind into a vast whirl of thoughts and contemplation. And so, I decided to blog about my nonsense of thoughts and ideas.

First....I read this case study called, "An Indian's View on Indian Affairs". It was simple to read because Indians talk in plain words. It was almost like reading the words of a child. More on my level:) This article told a story of Chief Joseph, a leader of a tribe who was being forced out of their own land by the white man who were trying to buy it. Chief Joseph was all about Love, love for the people and love for the land. He believed that land couldn't be bought. He also believed that the Great Creator, created all men and all things and that we should all live in peace. This article kicked me back to my Hippie roots. It made me remember that we are all created by God, the Great Creator. No man is better than another. We should love all things the same, including the land we live in, the animals, the air, the trees.....I wish I could be an Indian sometimes....they seem more connected with the spirits and they seem to look upon life more simple than we do. Which leads me to the next hippie/thought provoking thing....

I watched Avatar again. Avatar always makes me want to be connected with the spirits and universe! It makes me have a deeper connection with the trees and plants and air and everything around me. It makes me aware. I believe that the spirit can talk to us through many things in life. Wether it be through another person, a soft whisper, or a feeling brought upon us. I feel that nature helps me listen to the spirit. When I can appreciate this beautiful world God created for us, then I am able to recieve his guidance and blessings easier. It is a simple way of life, one filled with love. That is the life I want.

Next...Conference. Conference this month was Amazing! I could go on for hours about it, but one talk I really liked was Elder Quentin L. Cook's talk about how amazing LDS women are! This talk helped remind me about who I need to be, and what I want to be. Which then leads me to my next thought provoking experience....

The other night I was asked what my "plan" in life is....What is my plan in life? There are many things I want to do....but are they in my "plan"?? I never really thought about it. I just have been living life day by day and trying not to worry about anything. But I started thinking....and thats when the No! No! words came to my head.....MARRIAGE.....

I've never really thought about getting married. In the great words of T. Swift, I've been left 'wondering why we bother with love if it never lasts'. I've always been quite the Hopeless Romantic....But I have realized that is the only thing I want right now. To find someone who is going to love me as much as I love them back. What an amazing feeling it will be to completely devote my life to that person. And to have a family of my own. I figured out that my plan is short and simple....
1) Find Prince Charming and be sealed in the Lord's House
2) Create Mini Me's and raise them in the Gospel
3) Live Life with a Smile on my face and a Prayer in my Heart
4) Sit on my Front Porch swing and reminisce about the "Good Old Days"

This plan seems promising to me, and is all I really need. However I do have many wants and desires. I believe that these goals will just fall into place whenever they are suppose to. But it is good to know what they are so that I can make them happen. So here is a list of things I want....
1) Finish School
2) Raise a happy family in the Lord's Church
3) Travel to Ireland, Italy, Greece, Fiji & Tahiti
4) Serve a Mission
5) Be Happy
6) Do as much service as I can
7) Be a cheer coach
8) Have a Library of children's books
9) Be a Light to the World

I'm sure I have a million other ones, but for now thats all I can really think of. So there ya go....This is what has been occupying my mind. I know its not much, but I am a simple person. I like sunshine and lilies and cowboys and pina coladas:) I don't ask for much, I don't expect much. I just smile and try to have a good time:)
