nineteen

Nineteen years on this blessed earth today, and I'm feeling mighty fine!
I spent sometime on my knees at 2 o'clock this morning and thanked the man upstairs for those good years I have had with him by my side.
God is good.
I feel spoiled to have the family I have, the friends I have, and the knowledge I have of this gospel of Jesus Christ. There were rocky points, but no matter what, things always picked up in the end.

Let me tell you a little bit about this wonderful day though...
Thought I was getting picked up to go to a nice restaurant in Salt Lake with the FAB 5... but oh was I wrong.. Not long after we had gotten on the freeway I was quickly blindfolded and taken to a surprise party that my roommates in Salt Lake had planned for me... Oh what a wonderful life I have to live. Oh what wonderful people I have as friends. May the Lord continue to bless them.

Now, it is time for bed.
Goodnight world,
I am glad to be a part of you.

Sing it like a gospel choir.

I love the soul that gospel choirs carry, what if EVERYONE had this much soul?
I truly believe that the world would be an even better place.
PS I love how this kid lets everything go in the end.
he just belts it out there.
AMAZING.
PS Black people have the coolest tone to their voices.... Is it terrible to say that I hope my children can sing like that?... haha
LIFE is good...
SMILE.

LOVE #3

To avoid the sweet but "cliche" notion to immediately write about my Mother on Mothers Day, I decided to wait until midnight. Because although Mother's Day is a special day, I want my Mom to know that I love her just as much the day after!.... possibly even MORE.

Dear Momma,
You gave birth to me, and you've raised me. You continue to guide and uplift me through this struggle I call my life. You lived a righteous life and married Dad in the temple, and because of that... I have the gospel in my life. Because of the choices YOU have made, I have been able to look to you as an example of who I want to be.

As I moved away for the first time, I was thrown into the real world and quickly realized all the work and love you had shown me through my childhood and younger teenage years. I realized the shaping and molding you were doing as you taught me to love others and to treat them with kindness and respect. above all these things though, when I moved away I realized how much I needed you. You quickly became the best friend I could have ever asked for.

I love you today and everyday.
You are the light in my life.

LOVE,
Your daughter
Sydney

Blindfolds

It seems as though my eyes are completely covered. And no matter how much I try, my future is completely unknown. No matter how hard I try, there is no pulling that blindfold off. It's one of those times in my life where I know that I can make one of two decisions. I can choose to sit down and give up trying to make my way to the future.. or I can choose the second option - the better option. This option being a trip to my knees as I turn to the Lord to guide my path.

As I think about this idea of the "blindfold" I realize that this is and will always be a life-long thing. We can never fully know the future. No matter how much I wish I could plan and organize my entire future... I can never fully know what lies ahead. And as I sit here and think about the unknown I can't help but be grateful for the knowledge I have of the gospel of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Through it I will and can feel the amazing peace that no matter what, things will always be alright.

With blindfold on and all, I know that there is no other reasonable choice other than to make my way to the future with faith that the Lord will provide. I truly believe that I will know what to do when the time comes to make a decision, so I will keep moving down my path of life... No one but myself can stop me from being all that Heavenly Father wants me to be. So here I go, off into the future - determined to succeed.

"Long walks in the dark, through woods grown behind the park...I asked God who I'm supposed to be..."

Dear Priscilla,
Your words flow through me like a warm summer breeze.
And with "bull-dozer" power, the path to my future becomes clearer every day.
Thank you for the positive power your music has on me.
Love, Sydney

Dear Harmons,
Thank you for hiring me to be a cashier, I can not wait to work.
But why could you not hire my best friend?..
I mean you hired her, she was good enough.
I wish you'd let her stay.
Love, Sydney

Dear Life,
Stay Good.

Tragic Love Tale

The late hours of my life the past few nights have been spent well I must say.

With the beautiful crooning of the hunk Richard Beymer singing in my ear, I have sat back and enjoyed one of the most tragic love tales of all time.
West Side Story.

I must have forgotten how much I love the music in this show. Because these last few nights have been absolutely wonderful as I have lied there enjoying the fashion, dancing, and music that I wish I could have been alive to take part in. What beautiful people.

24 in 4 challenge officially began May 1st, I'm beginning with portion control and exercise, I am also going to drink a GALLON of water a day. What are you doing?!

The exciting thing about this 4 month challenge is that I am not just working to better my physical being... I am also working to perfect my life in all other aspects as well. The challenge has begun, and I truly believe that this will be a life-long journey for us in the constant progression of who we will become.

Last night I went to the CES Fireside given by H. David Burton, of the presiding bishopric. He spoke about some wonderful things, one thing that he said though has really stuck with me. This will help in every aspect of my life that I wish to succeed in.

"Success is not the key to happiness, HAPPINESS is the key to success...."
