Life's Lessons Learned--while dancing!
Who knew that some of the most spiritual experiences I've had lately were going to be at rehearsals? It's just a testimony to me that truly EVERYTHING is centered around Christ and when you have His spirit with you things ALWAYS go better.
We've only got a week left before our show and I'm going to miss the Spiritual experiences/thoughts given to me during this rehearsal process.
This show has given me the chance to live in and CHERISH these moments and so many more. I'm so glad I have the opportunity to "praise Him with the dance" and combined two of the things I love the most! I know, it may be odd to leave a testimony on a blog, but I TRULY love the Savior and all He's done for me! Using this opportunity and others to get to know Him and look deeper into myself and strengthen our relationship has been such a blessing in my life!

- When's the last time you were truly thankful enough to Jesus for all He has done for you? have you ever thought to thank Him for your skin?
- How did YOU feel when the Savior was in Gethsemane?
- What's the second coming going to be like?
- How would it feel to have his hands placed on your head, his arms outstretched towards you, or even holding you in a close embrace?

a moment to ponder
In our busy lives sometimes we allow ourselves to get caught up in daily living. The "to do" lists get long, jobs get busier and busier, homework appears out of nowhere... and then comes that moment when you feel that God is trying to tell you something. TAKE that moment. live in that moment. cherish EVERYTHING you learn from it. Do as the prophets and apostles suggest and WRITE it down (preferably in a journal or somewhere you will find it later). God gives us personal guidance and inspiration. In our day to day living let's not be in such a hurry that we miss those pivotal moments, and those vital things that God is trying to tell us.
I had such a moment today at rehearsal and thanks to all those who contributed to the spirit there and who also shared that moment with me. I'll just end my thoughts with a scripture that came to mind, "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." Matthew 18:20

The Best is Yet to Be
Just a thought to start off the new year coming from studying Jeffery R Holland's talk entitled "the Best is Yet to Be" (highly recommended reading).
He said, "The start of a new year is the traditional time to take stock of our lives and see where we are going, measured against the backdrop of where we have been. I don’t want to talk about New Year’s resolutions, but I do want to talk about the past and the future, with an eye toward any time of transition and change in our lives—and those moments come virtually every day."
Repentance, a word often associated with pain and suffering and hardship, in actuality is a chance to become as God is! and we have that chance EVERYDAY!
"As a new year begins and we try to benefit from a proper view of what has gone before, I plead with you not to dwell on days now gone nor to yearn vainly for yesterdays, however good those yesterdays may have been. The past is to be learned from but not lived in. We look back to claim the embers from glowing experiences but not the ashes."
"To yearn to go back to a world that cannot be lived in now, to be perennially dissatisfied with present circumstances and have only dismal views of the future, and to miss the here and now and tomorrow because we are so trapped in the there and then and yesterday are some of the sins of Lot’s wife."
He goes on to explain about the sin of Lot's wife, "So it isn’t just that she looked back; she looked back longingly. In short, her attachment to the past outweighed her confidence in the future. That, apparently, was at least part of her sin."
How many times do we look back at things that used to be and wish they were that way again? We need to love the life God has given us now, not the one we had 5 years ago.

“This one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
“I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:13–14).
We need to allow others the same opportunity to change that God has given us.
"Perhaps at this beginning of a new year there is no greater requirement for us than to do as the Lord Himself said He does: “He who has repented of his sins, the same is forgiven, and I, the Lord, remember them no more” (D&C 58:42)."
"This is an important matter to consider at the start of a new year—and every day ought to be the start of a new year and a new life. Such is the wonder of faith, repentance, and the miracle of the gospel of Jesus Christ."
"Keep your eyes on your dreams, however distant and far away. Live to see the miracles of repentance and forgiveness, of trust and divine love that will transform your life today, tomorrow, and forever. That is a New Year’s resolution I ask you to keep."
