Everything good comes from above

I was tested for pre-diabetes last week and got my results from the nurse back today. Everything is healthy and clear. My glucose levels and my insulin levels are great. The nurse mentioned she was very surprised for how great they were. She thought the possibility of me being pre-diabetec was pretty high.

Everything good comes from above.

So here is another moment in my life, that I know I am watched over. I know that regardless if I was diagnosed or not, God's love and spirit would pour upon my soul.

Also, I had a great talk with one of my professors from Interior Design from last year.

She mentioned that she was so proud of me. She was proud of me that I haven't given up my passion for design. She is glad that I am pushing forward and moving on. She mentioned that she looks at me as a great student and very teachable. She said she would love to catch up more and always be there if I need a reference or any kind of help, advice, etc.

My thoughts of bitterness are slowly wiping away.

I know many of you may think that I am still extremely bitter and unhappy about my new path. But I'm sincerely not.

I know that God has put me on this new path for my own personal journey. I love you all. 

Graphic Design

I'm trying to get the words down of how I feel.

There are so many things I could thank God for. Thank goodness it's the Month of Gratitude.

The biggest thing I can thank God for though, is my life. He has blessed me so many times throughout my life. Especially the past few months. He brought me out of a tough and dark time in my life and words don't describe my gratitude for Him.

I am in awe that I have found so much joy in my new path. I know many still think I am bitter. But I'm truly not. I love Graphic Design. I love my classes, the people I have met and the opportunities I'm about to embark on.


Below is a recent project I did. Our assignment was to re-invent a book cover using a collage of pictures, typography and creativity.

Big News!

I am going to Study Abroad this Summer in Vienna!!

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. 

Trust God

Tears are falling.

Happy tears though.

Tears of how grateful I am.

God put me exactly where I need to be. He put me in a place that was scary and that I was unsure of. But that place isn't anything like either of those words. I thought that I would never feel like I fit anywhere else but Interior Design. But I feel good. Not stressed. Not worried. Not insecure.

He continues to give me opportunities. Experiences. People.

All I needed to do was trust.

Trust Him in everything.

What makes you feel accomplished?


For me?


Being here.
Gaining an education.
Feeling like everything is at my fingertips.
Blessed.
