"STAND FOR SOMETHING."

i love this quote by president hinkley

my heart is so full of gratitude right now for this church. i want people to know what i stand for just by looking at me. i had the opportunity on sunday to go to the marriott center to hear president uchtdorf speak. it was such an amazing fireside. my favorite parts: don't give up. heavenly father KNOWS the desires of our hearts. the knowledge of who you are will fill your heart with happiness. we were created to have joy, we don't need to wait for permission to be happy. i love this church. it truly brings happiness if you allow it. he really is there for us.

i love this song.

"he ain't the leavin' kind" - rascal flatts

"they tried their best to drag him out of

a courthouse down in montgomery

and now they wanna kick him out of

school and take him off our money

they can take his words off of paper and stone

but he ain't gone.. no.

he ain't the leavin kind

he'd never walk away

even from those who don't believe

and wanna leave him behind

no matter what you do, no matter where you go

he's right there with you he ain't the leavin kind."

no matter what america does to try to take god out of our country, he will be with us. i know that if we center our lives around christ, nothing will ever be permanetly wrong.he walks beside us and knows us. i've been to the temple a lot lately. it's been an amazing experience going to new ones. i'm so grateful for the temple. it truly is heaven on earth and i'm so grateful for the gospel.

lets stand for something.
