Hello, long time no post!!
I'm thee worst... I haven't put anything on my blog since the first week of January! To the point though I'm going to talk about my past couple of weeks and what I have learned! Okay, ready well too bad if you aren't because here we go! So in January I definitely had some highs and so lows. In those lows I really tried to hid it an pretended like everything was okay and that I was happy. In life I've learned to enjoy the little things in life otherwise I stress and have an anxiety breakdown about my life and cry! I've learned that your going to have crappy days and so is everybody else but to make yourself feel better go and help the people having bads and help them turn it into a better day even if it is just listening to them. One day in January I was late to my 3rd hour which is seminary and I was walking outside and one of my dear friends was in front of me, she had just come out of the office and I caught up to her and I asked her how she was doing she said she was fine, but I looked into her eyes and I knew something was wrong. So I asked again are you sure your okay and she stopped and started crying I dropped everything I was holding and just hugged her, and asked what was wrong and we talked for a good 45 minutes outside on the sidewalk. All I did was listen and gave some what good advice and I justed hugged her and I told her I would check up on her in 5th hour. I checked up on her 5th hour and she looked and felt better! I learned that sometimes I just need some Rylee time to cheer me up!
This is Rylee, on Monday's and Wednesday's I and two other girls eat lunch with Rylee and some other special needs kids, after we eat we go to the library and read and do puzzles! Being with Rylee is being with a celestial being she is always happy no matter what. The things I have learned from Rylee, are be greatful for your body never take it for granted, and to always be happy!
It's crazy how even on my darkest of days there is always something that can make that dark day be a little lighter. In these past weeks I've learned I can only rely on my family, the piano, running, taking pictures, a few friends and my Savior and Heavenly Father. On February 8th we had Bishop's day in seminary and what that basically is where you go to the room where your bishop is and there's like 6 or 7 bishops in there and all the kids those wards are in there, and you ask them questions. Well a couple of kids asked questions and the Bishop's gave there responses. When it got quiet I looked at Brother Williams and he nodded at me that it was okay to talk, and I looked my Bishop in the eyes and asked " did I chose my trials," and my Bishop looked at me and said I think we knew what we were getting into but we wanted a body so bad that we would do whatever trials were here on earth so we could gain our physical bodies. Then another Bishop commented and said we didn't know how trials felt, we had never experienced that before, but he said that there was one person who felt what I felt and feel, and that was our Savior because of his great atoning sacrifice he knows I how feel and I can use the atonement to help me lift this trial off of me not completely, but enough to where I can breathe again. I honestly get stuck in the moment and I run, cry, play the piano, talk to my mom, cry some more, then ask for a blessing to help me through this, and I always do this last and I shouldn't it should be one the first thing I do and that is to pray to my Father in Heaven, and let him know how I am feeling even though he already knows, he still wants to hear it from me. This weekend as I have pondered that it has been a game changer. I know that if we tell our Heavenly Father how we feel and that we read our scriptures that He will help us! I know that as we try to to help others when it looks like they are having a bad day to be there for them. I love this gospel with my whole heart it is the true gospel.
I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
-Until Next Time Hallie
