Peace

I feel like my posts have been dragging lately.
I've been grasping on to old memories and old trials.

But I need to change the mood of my writing.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


My classes are still going well.
I'm feeling great about my new path.

Sidenote: My professor loved my boards on Pinterest. She said I had great taste. Holla!


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I went to the temple last weekend. The most peaceful place on earth. The temple is a place of meditation. It is the closest place to heaven on Earth.
The temple is where God can speak to me personally.
He reminded me that I need to slow down.
For those of you that don't know, I have felt that I need to serve a mission for my faith the past few years. Through inspiration, I was told it isn't my time to go yet and to pursue my current plans.



For those not of my faith, I know it might be hard to understand this peace I mention. But to put it simply, an apostle of my church said this:

"Can the peace the gospel brings to a faithful Latter Day Saint be transferred to an individual experiencing adversity or great challenges?
The answer is no.
You can't share your personal conversion to another. Conversion is personal."

Whatever faith you are, LDS or not. You can't truly believe in a religion that you don't have a personal conversion to. That is a concept that I am trying to understand in my life. People that want the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in their life--will find it. They HAVE to be converted. They HAVE to put in the dedication, time and willingness.



That is something I am slowly coming to understand in my life.

Here I Am

here i am.
at utah state.
pursuing graphic design.




i've had my faith tested.
i've understood how it feels to not have any sense of map or direction in my life.
i learned that God works in mysterious ways.

i am enjoying my classes for the most part.
my drawing class continues to open my eyes to who i am & to how i am developing as a person.
i am trying new mediums.
i've learned that i can excel and i can be successful.

my classes are letting me feel free.
not tied down to measurements, codes & biased professors.
many people are meant to be interior designers & they're great at it.
but for me, God knew that another major would be more fitting for me.

i will always remember the memories that i had there though.
i met some of the greatest people.
i learned how it feels to work hard.
i learned that I CAN DO HARD THINGS.

i am excited to implement interior design into my graphic design work.
i continue to go speechless when i see interiors that are well planned out and stunning.
i continue to have a desire to design textiles and put them into spaces.

the saying, when one door closes-another one opens is coming evident in my life.
i will continue to love interiors and graphics and put them in my life.
