I believe...

I believe - That just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other. And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.

I believe - That we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.

I believe - That no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.

I believe - That true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.

I believe - That you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.

I believe - That it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.

I believe - That you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.

I believe - That you can keep going long after you think you can't.

I believe - That we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.

I believe - That either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I believe - That heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

I believe - That money is a lousy way of keeping score.

I believe - That my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.

I believe - That sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down will be the ones to help you get back up.

I believe - That sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

I believe - That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.

I believe - That it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.

I believe - That no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.

I believe - That our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.

I believe - That you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life forever.

I believe - Two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.

I believe - That your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you.

I believe - That even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help.

I believe - That credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.

I believe - That the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.

The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have.

a new beginning

i know most of you heard my testimony in church the day i was released and you know that i really loved serving the families in our ward as the rs president. louann, elaine, and patty all gave me tons of love and support and anything that was accomplished was because of them. they were simply the best. i had the greatest sisters serving in the organization and i appreciate the effort that is made as all the sisters in rs work together to lift and support each other. you definately see things in a different perspective when you serve in a leadership position. i hope that someday...far far away (lol) that i'll have another chance to serve as a leader again (doesn't have to be the president, though, lol)

i am very excited about my new calling as a sunday school teacher for the 14-15 year olds in our ward. this past sunday was our first class and it couldn't have been better. i will be losing a few of the kids at the first of the year and that saddens me cause i'd hold on to them all if i could but there will be some new ones coming in too. i love to be with our youth and am grateful for the opportunity the Lord has given me to learn along with them. this is going to be a wonderful experience...i know it.

the sweetest thing i've ever heard...
