BIRTHDAY GIRL!

I am an enthusiast of birthdays. It is my favorite holiday of the year. I have the privilege of having my birthday just days before Christmas. I always get the question, “Is it hard to have your birthday so close to Christmas?” That question has taken me a long time to answer. Today, I can tell you I LOVE IT. The reason I love it, is because people show me how much they love me by their actions and their words.

During the Christmas Season, sometimes I get caught up in the “commercial” side and I forget the TRUE MEANING of Christmas. My birthday is always a wonderful WAKE UP CALL. I am reminded that Christmas is all about the birth of our Savior, and he should be the main focus. Everyone around me always lets me be the main focus for my birthday; I should let Him be the main focus on Christmas. I love having my birthday close to Christmas, because it reminds me of my Saviors birth and what he has done for me.

Sista, Sista!!!

-Sisters-

I have two WONDERFUL sisters, that I look up to a lot. It has been so much fun to get to know them as an “adult” and not the annoying little sister. What I have noticed about all three of us, is that we are each DIFFERENT. My sister Emily, loves to run, hike, ride bikes, and talk food. My sister LauriAnn loves to study history, go on road trips, read books, and watch Boise State Football. I like to watch t.v shows, play on computers, golf, and snowboard. As you can see we are each different, HOWEVER we each have something in common, we are Daughters of God, and he loves us. There are going to be many different Girls that you will meet and interact with, some you might not get along with, and some may be your best friends. When you find those girls who might ACT different, or doesn't dress like you, or have the newest things, ALWAYS remember that THEY too are Daughters of God, and He loves them, treat them how He treats you...with LOVE!

Remember You're a Daughter of God, and You're HOT!

We start routines to become better people, routines become habits, and habits become lifestyles. While serving a mission I started with a routine that has become a lifestyle. Every Night I would tell my companions before they fell asleep that they were daughters of God, and they were hot. As daughters of God, we have so many things in this world that put us down, we do not need to be one of those “things” that contributes. When we UNDERSTAND that we are daughters of God, we love ourselves and can become the daughter of God that we have been sent to be. We are worth something, and we are beautiful to him, even on those bad hair days.

The next time you look in the mirror and think, “man another zit!” Try telling yourself,

“I'm a Daughter of God, and I'm Hot!”
