on all things Cheyenne. (life lately)



Haven't written in a while; so heres a little update on all things Cheyenne.

I am preparing to enter the Holy house of the Lord,
I'm going into that gorgeous white temple in the next couple of weeks,
YES! can you believe that?

this last week my bishop asked me to pray and think hard about who i might want to be my escort (since i do not have the opportunity to enter with my mom) this was actually a really hard decision. Like i have so many amazing women around me.. and picking just one that has been the most amazing inspiration.. that was tough. But once i knelt down to pray about it.. it was ever so clear. KIM! I've known Kim Ashton for the last two years, i nanny for her ever so beautiful family. I've grown so close to this gorgeous family. Kim was like my spiritual mother, the lady that guided me and expressed her concerns and praised me in the gospel. So truly, it didn't surprise me when Heavenly Father told me that she was the one. I asked Kim if that was something she would be interested in doing, and she ever so nicely accepted the offer. Not only accepted, but went above and beyond what she was ever expected to do. She asked me if she could take me shopping for everything, including my temple dress. Obviously i said yes. We went that same week, we picked out a couple of dresses with the lady whom works at 'Dressed in White'.. i tried on the one, which was a total no go, i didn't even go outside the dressing room to show it off. I tried on the second one, walked out of the dressing room, where Kim was waiting for me. She began to smile so big, and so bright, with small tears in her eyes. We both agreed that this was ONE HUNDRED percent the dress for me. As i looked in the mirror with that dress on, i could truly see all the beauty that my Heavenly Father had ever put into me. I felt like such an angel, like a princess, a true daughter of God. We chose shoes, and socks, slips and bags. Everything. We got to the counter, and Kim told me that i wasn't paying for any of it. SHE PAID FOR EVERYTHING! imagine that. I have been blessed with such a saint. Such a gorgeous woman of Christ. Wow. I can't even express what an amazing example this lady has been to me. So there it was, my gorgeous temple dress, the most beautiful thing i had ever laid eyes upon. and wow did i feel special in that.

So, NEXT WEEK people. Next week.


Before i get all preachy: this song explains it all. Not church related.

John 4;7 "Beloved, let us love one another; for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God."

other than that. I've learned a lot.
the passed few months i've been going to school with this rather odd girl. (or so i thought). I nineteen year old girl, who never seemed to brush her hair. sounds weird right? Well, as you could imagine, i judged this amazingly beautiful daughter of God very harshly. Until today: when something happened to make me realize how badly i messed up. This young girl. I was able to hug her, and comfort her while she cried. I didn't know her situation, i didn't know where she came from, and i certainly never knew her story, or her trials. So why did i judge her? That's a question i can't answer, but one that i could tell you i was so completely wrong. This girl is amazing. She is going through so much in this time of her life, with nobody by her side.

I know, be disappointed in me, because i sure am.

But know, that each time you judge a person, that judgment is most likely very wrong, that one day, you will have a lesson learned, as i did today. You will feel completely ashamed and disappointed in yourself. So take this lesson from me: DO NOT JUDGE. We all have battles, and we're all going through more than what we portray. Don't assume that you know everything and every detail about one person, and all that their story has to offer.

John 13:34 "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as i have loved you, that ye also love one another."

my records

For my record: February 1, 2015 i know that this church is true, I know that Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God, who restored the gospel of Jesus Christ. I know that the Book of Mormon is true, and with no doubt in my mind, i know that the words which are spoken inside are the words of God, that through our Prophets, both modern and ancient, we can continue on Gods path. I know that God lives, i know that Jesus Christ lives; that he died for me, for you and for all generations of beings who have and are coming to this earth, he sacrificed for my sins, my pains and my sorrows. he knows me, personally and by name. I know that if i use the atonement, he will take my burdens away, and i will be weightless. I have faith in the gospel, that if i do and follow Gods wills, and commandments, i will return to him one day. I was once scared of dying; but now, it's become an exciting thought. For when i die, i will be with my creator once more, that i will have a remembrance of just how ...

Ultimate Charity

I gave a talk yesterday during sacrament meeting- I thought i'd share it here. CHARITY I think that for many of us, charity is something that we have to work for. I don’t think that everybody has the natural ability to be charitable. I believe most of us have to choose to put our selfishness aside, to become more charitable. Charity is a choice. Growing up in Saint George Utah, I was one of the rare, nonmembers in my grade. At a young age, I didn’t understand why none of my friends were able to play on Sunday, I didn’t understand how going to church on Sunday was important than riding bikes outside, I didn’t understand that Mondays were for family, I didn’t understand  when one girl told me while at recess one day, that Jesus gave her belly button. I didn’t grow up in an environment that understanding all of that, believing it and finding hope in that was normal. As I grew older, throughout middle school and high school, I had friends that were no longer allowed to be in...

the other night i had the blessing of taking my deep thoughts with me to the temple, i had the chance to sit on the temple grounds and think of everything that was bothering me.  in those moments, i felt grateful for the plan of salvation, for the missionaries that taught me, for the friendships that i now have with the Elders who taught me, for the missionaries who are out serving faithfully right now, so this day, i share with you a couple of words; that this gospel has brought light into my life,  i see and know my every blessing, and i am grateful for it all that i believe and i have faith in the words of our savior and prophets. http://youtu.be/_nuUdV6E_Fw
