The light on the way...(:

A couple of Sundays I heard a talk that spoke about God's mercy.

I love that topic it is truly one of my favorites because of many many reason but anyway,

in that talk the girl mentioned that God's mercy isn't the light at the end of the tunnel but the light on the way to the end of the tunnel.

I really liked that phrase because I don't believe that we receive God's mercy at the end (judgement day,) we will receive his mercy all along the way.

I have truly seen his mercy these past couple of months. Although the tunnel has been dark, and perhaps kind of shaky lately, he has always been there helping me through it. Through friends, roommates, my mom, co-workers, and of course my bishop(:

I have officially become a certified Dental Assistant and that has become a huge blessing because of all the sacrifice that had to go into it...but I did the best I could and in the end the Lord made up the difference and blessed me ! This week I will also have a birthday and although this birthday isn't anything special it has truly been a blessing to make it this far and I know that is due to the Lord's mercy as well. 

Last night I had once again one of those "tough moments" in my life but I've been trying to be tough and last night I felt Heavenly Father's arms around me and his mercy letting me know its all going to be okay (: He knows I'm making and effort and as long as I am he will make up the difference and make everything a thousand times better than I could alone (:

So look for his light at the end of your tunnel because its definitely there wheter you want to see it or not (:

I'm a freak!!

My get away??

The dental clinic! That's where I like to be. 

I looooovee teeth! Holy cow I dont know where on earth I developed this sick obsession but I love teeth. Today I got to watch two root canals and some other exciting stuff and help out with some really gross things and ohh it was a blast!! (: (: (:

I looove teeth!! 

I just really cant wait to be done with the program so I can start actually assisting all the time! 

P.S. Everyone needs to floss and brush because as cool as root canals are to watch they are NO fun! ): 

I'm make mistakes..

I think I missed the "know it all" lesson in heaven. I was probably chillin in the "how to screw things up and feel horrible for it later" class that day.

Let me just tell you a story about the day that I ran out of gas in the middle of the freeway...

You see, my sweet little car has something wrong with the dashboard so when it says you have half a tank of gas it really means youre out of gas...but sometimes I like to trust it more than I should so one time my mom and I were running super duper late to work and I knew I was almost out of gas but I had no choice other than to pray and hope I made it. While in the freeway my car just started acting weird and soon enough it stopped. It was soo scary and my mom was furious. I dont really know what went through my head because I was terrffied but I realized I didnt have time to be worried...I started making calls right away. While my mom was yelling at me for "being irresponsable" I just ignored her. Long story short...I got us out of there in less than 10 minutes.

That day I got home and realized that I may have been wrong and irresponsable but I noticed how my mom said nothing to me at the end anymore because she was amazed at how fast I reacted and got us out of there.  I was proud of myself for getting myself out of the rutt I got myself into. I knew it was 100% my fault but instead of dwelling on it I took it into my own hands to fix it.

Recently I had that same experience but in a different scenario.Sure enough I tried to get myself out of the mess. This one was a little bigger than the car experience and it took a lot longer. However, this time I did all I could to fix the situation but I didnt do ABSOLUTELY everything....You see, sometimes we admit that we're wrong, and appoligize but if I had just realized I was wrong and said sorry to my mo the day we were in the middle of the freeway who knows what would have happened. I actually had to call for help, let someone help, I had to go get gas, pay, blah blah blah and promise myself that would never happen again. You see my point? It took more than a sorry. Sadly enough in this past experience I didnt realize that sometimes to mend your mistakes sometimes it takes more than a "sorry" until after a few months.  Repenting is a big step but it doesnt take away consequences for your actions.

last week's lesson was just that ^^. Although sorry is good its not  what fixes mistakes... We actually have to try and mend our doings... And sometimes people wont praise you for mending your mistakes but at least you did all you could...and sometimes thats all you can do. People may still walk away but at least your efforts were honest (:

Good thing I learned this now because dang, I dont know how I would get thorugh life without that knowledge!

This song kind of tells you what I'm talking about (;  

stay....or go, but do it now (:

I have learned a new lessson.. 

some people are made to be part of your life while others...aren't. 

I stop and think about how many people came in to my life this year and the list is very long but the list of those who actually stayed is small. I guess when we meet people we take that chance, to either let them in our lives or let them walk out. Does that make sense? 

I'll admit I'm one of those people who puts a wall up and doesnt let people in easily simply because I can see them walking out right as they come in. However, there are those people who have actually stayed. I have learned that its through tough times that you realize who those people are meant to be. Its through tough times when the reason why those people are in your life comes clear and when your relationship with them grows enough that you dont ever want to lose them or they never want to lose you. (: 

You shouldnt expect everyone to walk out but you should also not expect everyone to stay forever. So I've learned to just soak up all you can from everyone that comes in to your life, learn from them, and enjoy them because they could be gone tomorrow.... 

Its kind of like that quoe that says something along the lines of those who are meant to stay will and those who arent dont matter or something like that....its easy to say they'll be there (or that you'll be there) for someone in the moment but will they really? 


So many people can say "no matter what, you'll never lose me" but sometimes we as human get caught up in only our needs and we forget that we ever made that promise. 


This song inspired me to write this post and really helped me realize what I've learned these past few months I guess the biggest lesson I learned is let those who dont want to stay woalk out...because although it may be tough be sure that there is someone out there who DOES want to be part of you life.... (: 


Chris Medina is a huge example.
