Nine Months ago since my Car Accident

This post is short and sweet. Where did the last nine months go? Time has been going so fast and I seriously can't keep up with it.

I can't believe today has reached nine months ago since I had my first car accident and it definitely is still a little shock to me because my first car got written off. Has it really been nine months ago today since I had my first car accident?
I learned to drive carefully since the car accident. I know that I have surprised many people that I still drive a car since the car accident because some people just like to assume that I wouldn't be driving a car again due to the car accident.

I know that I love driving myself to places such as going to the Temple, going to Young Single Adult events, going to places for my photo shoots because  I love having my independence and I don't like relying much on transport from others.

Everything Happens for a Reason

This post is short and sweet. You will love this post. I am not even kidding. Everything happens for a reason. I encourage you to think about and answer the following few questions in your own time.                      "How do you acknowledge everything happens for a reason in your daily life?"
"What does everything happens for a reason saying means to you?"

We may not acknowledge each thing why it happens to us, may we understand what did we learn from the experiences that we are going through on this present day? I know we all make mistakes. I know we all can learn from our past. I know we all can continue to look forward.

This life isn't a competition. This life isn't a game. This life is a test! I love the Image below.
I love what it says. If you can't see what the Image says, it says "Dear God. please give us the courage to accept things for what they are, and to never lose hope that things will always get better."

I like to add on, "Whatever happens, happens. Everything always happens for a reason for our benefits such as we can always learn from other people's experiences and when we face those experiences ourselves, we can always strive our best to get through it ourselves and we also can always put our faith and trust in Heavenly Father that everything will always get better soon."

Please Share with Your Friends

This post is short and sweet. I have been striving to promote my photography business more for the past few weeks and the best way to describe how is it going. It has been going well. I love it and it is called "Meggy G Photography."

I kept meeting new people via Gumtree because I have been noticing that many people these days have been posting on Gumtree whenever they are looking for a photographer to capture memories either on their wedding day or capture memories for their family photos or capture memories for their baby showers or capture memories for their formal or capture memories for other events. 

I know it has been hard to have a ongoing suitable income each month but I do get through each month with a few bookings. 
Whenever I am not capturing memories, I have been editing photos, sometimes travelling depending on the location where the photos are captured and spend some time on my own. I encourage readers to share my facebook like page often to family, friends, relatives and to whoever so I can capture more memories. 

I kept applying jobs at places that I have a chance to get a job and still no luck. So I am hoping that I can make my dream come true to become a better and better photographer one day and be out every Saturday and keep myself busy throughout the week.  


I am willing to travel if people help me to cover my travel fees too. Here's the link to my Photography business page, please like it if you haven't already.

Have you ever find some time to yourself?

This post is short and sweet. First and foremost, I encourage you to think about and answer the following questions in your own time.

"Have you ever find some time to yourself when you can think about your greatest memories that you have witnessed throughout your life?" "Have you ever find some time to yourself when you can think about who your true friends are?"

"Have you ever find some time to yourself when you can recognise the lessons that you have learned, to help you to become a better person?" "Have you ever find some time to yourself when you can think about your worst memories that you have witnessed throughout your life?"

"Have you ever find some time to yourself when you can think of others who have helped you in the past?" "Have you ever find some time to yourself when you can think of other who have helped you on this current day?"

"Have you ever find some time to yourself when you can thank yourself for striving to do what is right?"

I know we all feel pain, I know we all make mistakes and I know we all feel heartaches throughout our daily lives.I know we all feel strength, I know we all have learned lessons and I know we all feel pride in ourselves throughout our lives.
I love the Image above, because I love what it says and I know how to relate to it. If you can't see the Image, it says "When I look back on my life, I see pain, mistakes and heartache. When I look in the mirror, I see strength, learned lessons and pride in myself."

I think we all need to find some time to ourselves to evaluate on our lives often, we need to ask ourselves how we are feeling often, we need to remember what achievements we have achieved in this life so far, we need to ask ourselves what we can do better to become stronger people in the future. I think it would be great if we do those simple things and apply it to our lives.

Listen, Obey and Be Blessed

First and foremost, I encourage you to think about and answer the following question in your own time. "What does listen, obey, and be blessed means to you?"

I kept thinking about some of the life lessons that I have learned while I was in Western Australia last year. One of the life lessons is kept in my mind and it hasn't been forgotten. This post's target readers is for young readers, youth readers and even anyone else who is willing to read this post.

I strongly encourage you to be obedient and listen to the local church leaders, including acting upon the counsels from past prophets, acting upon the counsels from past Apostles, acting upon the counsels from the current prophet and acting upon the counsels from current Apostles.

I also strongly encourage you to be obedient and listen to your school or your college teachers in school if you are in school. I also encourage you to be obedient and listen to your manager if you have a job.

I also encourage you to be obedient and listen to your friends when they give you right words of advice. Readers, I know that everyone has been striving their best to keep you happy, keep you away from being in trouble, keep you safe, staying in tune with the Holy Ghost and keep close to Heavenly Father.
I remembered all of the dates that I went on while I was in Western Australia. I still remember two of my dates in Western Australia, I felt uncomfortable because some people had an instant impression that me and a returned missionary were together when we were spending some time together acting like we were together more than six months.

Another date, I felt like a lower my standards because I always wanted to date guys who have high standards and active church members, but unfortunately, I went on a date to an inactive member of the church and I didn't know until during the date. I was feeling upset inside.

I just wanted to go back where I was staying. I had no access to a car until after I got dropped back off at a friend's house. I learned that there shouldn't be a reason why to lower my standards, keep my goals higher and the positive thing about these dating experiences was to gain the confidence of going on dates.

I officially stopped going on dates since May last year. None of those guys from all the dates that I went on during my time in Western Australia, doesn't talk to me anymore and it is okay with me.

Always remember to listen, be obedient and be blessed!

Peace, Hope, and Direction

This post is based on a Liahona January 2000 article that I love called, "Peace, Hope, and Direction" by Sister Patricia P. Pinegar. I would like to share with you some highlights while I was reading the article.

Sister Pinegar mentioned,

“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths” (Prov. 3:5–6).

Brothers and sisters, I love the Lord and trust in Him with all of my heart. I know He lives and loves each of us. I know our Father in Heaven has a perfect plan for us. As we follow this plan and the example of our Savior, we can find peace in this troubled world, our hearts can be filled with hope, and we will receive the direction we need.

The difficult experience of my son’s death helped me identify and rejoice in the blessings of peace, hope, and direction blessings that all who truly accept and live the gospel of Jesus Christ may enjoy. I can bear witness to the words of Elder Richard G. Scott: “Please learn that as you wrestle with a challenge and feel sadness because of it, you can simultaneously have peace and rejoicing"

What are some specific things we can do to have these blessings of peace, hope, and direction in our lives? May I share with you three things that have helped me.
First, we must have complete trust in our Father’s plan of happiness and our Savior’s part in that plan.

The second thing that has helped me receive these blessings is the principle of courageous obedience. I am so grateful for God’s gift of laws and commandments. Peace, hope, and direction are outcomes of striving to live the teachings of Jesus and obeying His laws and commandments.

The scriptures teach, “Great peace have they which love thy law” They also teach that “he who doeth the works of righteousness shall receive his reward, even peace in this world, and eternal life in the world to come”

The third thing we can do to receive these blessings of peace, hope, and direction is to learn to respond to the promptings of the Holy Ghost and acknowledge to the Lord our gratitude for this great gift."

I encourage you to read the whole article in your own time. Here's the link below.
www.lds.org/liahona/2000/01/peace-hope-and-direction

We all need to have peace, hope and direction throughout our lives. I like what the Image says, and if you can't see what it says, it says "Let us rejoice in the blessings of peace, hope, and direction, blessings that so many of our Father’s children do not enjoy."

Always have the Temple in Your Sights

First and foremost, I encourage you to think about and answer the following question in your own time. "What does always have the Temple in your sights saying means to you?"

This post is based on an April 2011 General Conference talk that I love, called "The Holy Temple - A Beacon to the World" by President Thomas S. Monson. I would like to share with you some highlights while I was reading the talk.

President Monson mentioned, "Why are so many willing to give so much in order to receive the blessings of the temple? Those who understand the eternal blessings which come from the temple know that no sacrifice is too great, no price too heavy, no struggle too difficult in order to receive those blessings. There are never too many miles to travel, too many obstacles to overcome, or too much discomfort to endure.

They understand that the saving ordinances received in the temple that permit us to someday return to our Heavenly Father in an eternal family relationship and to be endowed with blessings and power from on high are worth every sacrifice and every effort.

If you have been to the temple for yourselves and if you live within relatively close proximity to a temple, your sacrifice could be setting aside the time in your busy lives to visit the temple regularly. There is much to be done in our temples in behalf of those who wait beyond the veil. As we do the work for them, we will know that we have accomplished what they cannot do for themselves.
My brothers and sisters, the work is ours to do. If you have not yet been to the temple or if you have been but currently do not qualify for a recommend, there is no more important goal for you to work toward than being worthy to go to the temple.

Now, my young friends who are in your teenage years, always have the temple in your sights. Do nothing which will keep you from entering its doors and partaking of the sacred and eternal blessings there.

I plead with you to teach your children of the temple’s importance. The world can be a challenging and difficult place in which to live. We are often surrounded by that which would drag us down. As you and I go to the holy houses of God, as we remember the covenants we make within, we will be more able to bear every trial and to overcome each temptation. In this sacred sanctuary we will find peace; we will be renewed and fortified."

I encourage you to read the whole talk in your own time, here's the link below.

Keep Going!

This post is short and sweet. I encourage you to think about the following question in your own time, "What does keep going means to you?"

If you were to ask me the same question, I would say "Keep going means another saying to press forward. I would like to share with you some examples of keep going that I like as a motivation.

When trials get tough, keep going. When things aren't going the way that you expected to, keep going. When people let you down either by judging or saying negativate things about you, keep going.
When challenges get tough, keep going. When tribulations get tough, keep going.
When bad days gets tough, keep going. When bad nights gets tough, keep going.
When difficulties gets tough, keep going. When struggles get tough, keep going.

When life becomes tough, keep going. When hardships get worst, keep going.
When you get discouraged, keep going. When you miss someone, keep going."

What are some of your examples do you like of keep going? Do you like any of that I have shared?

I encourage you to always remember to pray to Heavenly Father whenever you need to keep going because I know that he is always there to help you, support you, loves you, and other wonderful things throughout your life if you allow him to do so.

I also encourage you to always remember to ask Heavenly Father what you can do better strategy or a better way for you to keep going if the previous strategy or way didn't work out the way that you expected to.

I also encourage you to always keep going!

My Top 5 Advices for Current Missionary Boyfriends and Girlfriends around the World

If you don't currently have a boyfriend or a girlfriend who is on his or her mission now and you are waiting for him or her to come home, this post isn't for you and I do recommend you to stop reading this post because you would be wasting your time.

If you currently have a boyfriend or a girlfriend who is on his or her mission now and you are waiting for him or her to come home, please continue reading this post because I hope this will be a great post for you and learn what I have learned while I was waiting for someone to come home from his mission. 

I would like to share a brief information who I was and who I was waiting for. I don't wish to mention who that someone's name. We first met when I was 16 years and he was 18 years. It was a few days before I turned 17 years and we met at Brisbane Temple. 

Our friendship didn't last for a long time, because I liked him and some odd reason I thought he liked me back. I was wrong. He told me how he felt about six months after he left his mission. 

Before his mission, we both seen each other once, stayed contact via text messages and facebook messages. During his mission, I emailed him heaps, I wrote him letters and he rarely emailed me. After his mission, we talked a little via facebook messages and we stopped talking to each other. 
Long story short, he ended up meeting someone else during his mission and he got married to her. They have been married to each other for four months. Now, I would like to share with you five advices. Note: The advices isn't in order.

#1 - Find some time alone to make a checklist what you would love to have for your dream guy or girl to have, and you shouldn't modify the checklist if your current missionary doesn't match up to some things because he or she isn't the one for you. Continue seeking for your dream guy or girl.

#2 - Please stay close to Heavenly Father and always remember to build a stronger relationship with him because he knows your strengths, he knows your weaknesses, he loves you, he cares about you, he supports you, he wants the best for you, he is always mindful of you, he is always there for you whenever you are feeling alone, he is always there for you whenever you are feeling happy, and he is always there whenever you need someone to talk to.

#3 - If you are feeling down, and you told your Missionary about it. If he or she doesn't change that to make you feel happy again, he or she isn't the one for you. Another advice that goes together with this one, is if you are feeling hurt and feel afraid to tell your Missionary what you did wrong such as going on dates while he or she is on his or her mission, don't email him or her to tell him or her. 

She or he will find out after her mission or his mission.

#4 - If your Missionary hasn't been replying to your emails for three weeks or longer in a row, you should stop emailing him or her until he or she starts emailing you again. It shows patience and to see how long it would last for him or her to realise that he or she hasn't emailed you, 

He or she is definitely not the right one for you if he or she doesn't reply to you after six months. 

#5 - Keep yourself busy and always remember to have fun! If you are preparing for your mission, focus on your preparations. If you are studying, focus more time on studies and not making neat packages.

Life is a Journey, not a Competition

This post is short and sweet. I encourage you to think about and answer the following question in your own time. "What does Life is a Journey not a Competition means to you?"

If you were to ask me the same question, I would say "Life has its own up's and downs each day and each night, even when we don't recognise those up's and downs straight away. I know some downs does tests our faith. I know some downs helps us build a stronger Testimony.

I know some ups makes us to feel happy and feel joy. We all love feeling happy for the right reasons."
I know we all have some days and some evenings when we celebrate our achievements.
I love the Image above and I agree what it says. If you can't see the Image what it says, it says
"Quote of the day Call me crazy .... But I love to see other people happy and succeeding!
Life is a JOURNEY, not a COMPETITION"

Take this life as a learning experience in some things, take this life as a journey and not a competition of comparing who's life is better. We all go through afflctions including unexpected afflictions. We all go through challenges including unexpected challenges, 

We all go through difficulities including unexpected difficulties. We all go through struggles including unexpected struggles. We all go through trials including unexpected trials, 

We all have some days and some evenings when we look back and say "Wow, I had such a great time." 
We all have some days and some evenings when we look back and say "Wow, I had such a hard time."

I encourage you to think about this saying "Find Joy in the Journey" often.

It Will All Work Out

First and foremost, I encourage you to think about and answer the following question in your own time. "What does it will all work out means to you?"

If you were to ask me the same question, I would have said "Many things will work out whenever we put our faith and trust in Heavenly Father. We can allow him to be in control of some things that we can't handle because he knows what is doing, is for the best.

To expand my answer is some things may take longer time than expected to work out because it is to test how the patient can we get before giving up, how strong our faith is, and it would be worth waiting for the results to reveal.

Some things may take a shorter time than expected because some things take the quicker process to finish. A little off topic but I think what I am going to say relates to this post. I think whenever we are too focused on technology such as playing games on our phones, watching movies on the computers, etc, we are missing out on the opportunities to talk to people in person, we should always remember to pray for opportunities to serve others, we should always remember to pray often, we should always remember to spend more time with loved ones, we should always remember to find some time out of our busy lives to read our scriptures, and we should always remember to do things that matter the most to us."

Many times in this life, we are too focused on and concern what tomorrow will have in store for us. Many times in this life, we are too focused on and concern what the unexpected plans for the future hold. We all need to focus on today. We all need to focus on one day at a time.
I love the Image above. I hope you will love the Image too. If you can't see the Image above, it says "Think about this quote throughout your mission and while preparing too, "It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It will all work out. If you do your best, it will all work out.

Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers." - Gordon B. Hinckley."

Many things may not work out straight away, some things may take ages until it finally works out.
Always remember to be patient with Heavenly Father."

We Don't Have to Wait to Cross the Finish Line

This post is short and sweet. I know that I already did a blog post based on a April 2013 General Conference talk called, "Of Regrets and Resoluations" by Dieter F. Utchdorf.

I encourage you to think about and answer the following questions in your own time.

Did You Know you always receive God's Blessings each day of your life even when you don't recognise what they are?"

Did You Know you always receive God's Blessings each night of your life even when you don't recognise what they are?"

I know we all receive God's blessings throughout our daily lives such as God is always mindful of us, he always have the time to listen to us whenever we are complaining about things are going wrong, he comforts all of us whenever we are feeling sad, etc. I know he always wants the best for all of us.

I know God always tries to encourage everyone to have a education, everyone to experience joy, everyone to experience happiness, everyone to experience joy, everyone to experience sadness, everyone to experience hurt, everyone to experience pain and everything else.

I know he always wants the best of everyone. I know he loves everyone who is always trying their best in every way to do what is right and I also know he loves everyone who is always trying to look up whenever things are going wrong, etc. I really love the Image below.
If you can't see the Image above, it says "We don't have to wait to crosss the finish line to receive God's Blessings. - President Dieter F. Uchtdorf - General Conference April 2013."

I encourage all of us to always remember Heavenly Father gives us more than one chance to change. I encourage all of us to always remember to look up whenever things are going wrong.

I encourage all of us to always remember to share thanks often, even for the simple and little things.
I encourage all of us to always remember our goodbyes is another beginning/chapter in our lives.

I encourage all of us to always remember it is okay to cry whenever we are feeling down and sadness.
I encourage all of us to always remember to say "I love you" to those who we love often.

I encourage all of us to always remember to always strive to do what is right.
I encourage all of us to always remember who is our true friends.
I encourage all of us to always remember to have fun.

In the Strength of the Lord

First and foremost, I encourage you to think about and answer the following question in your own time. "What does in the strength of the Lord means to you?"

If you were to ask me the same question, I would have said "The strength of the Lord means a lot to me. It means more than you think it does. I know that Heavenly Father is the best person who I do turn to whenever I am feeling down and whenever I am feeling sad.

I know Heavenly Father has the power to make me feel happy again after feeling sad. I know he has the power to make me feel comfort again after feeling scared and feeling doubt. I know he strives his best to remind me that everything will be okay if I put my faith and my trust in him always.

I know that he always would like everyone to have happiness, everyone to have hope, everyone to have peace, everyone to have comfort, everyone to have faith and trust in him always. Reality does make it hard for everyone to find those things in their lives often."

This post is based on an October 2004 General Conference talk called "In the Strength of the Lord" by Elder David A. Bednar. I would like to share with you some highlights while I was reading the talk this evening.

Elder Bednar mentioned,

"I have reflected on the teaching of Paul that “God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty”

“Wherefore, we search the prophets, and we have many revelations and the spirit of prophecy; and having all these witnesses we obtain a hope, and our faith becometh unshaken, insomuch that we truly can command in the name of Jesus and the very trees obey us, or the mountains, or the waves of the sea.

“Nevertheless, the Lord God showeth us our weakness that we may know that it is by his grace, and his great condescensions unto the children of men, that we have power to do these things” “The main idea of the word is divine means of help or strength, given through the bounteous mercy and love of Jesus Christ."

"It is likewise through the grace of the Lord that individuals, through faith in the atonement of Jesus Christ and repentance of their sins, receive strength and assistance to do good works that they otherwise would not be able to maintain if left to their own means.

This grace is an enabling power that allows men and women to lay hold on eternal life and exaltation after they have expended their own best efforts” Thus, the enabling and strengthening aspect of the Atonement helps us to see and to do and to become good in ways that we could never recognize or accomplish with our limited mortal capacity.

I testify and witness that the enabling power of the Savior’s Atonement is real. Without that strengthening power of the Atonement, I could not stand before you this morning.

I will go where the Lord and the leaders of His Church want me to go, I will do what they want me to do, I will teach what they want me to teach, and I will strive to become what I should and must become. In the strength of the Lord and through His grace, I know that you and I can be blessed to accomplish all things.

As one of the weakest of the weak, I testify that God lives. I testify and witness that Jesus is the Christ. He is our Redeemer and our Savior, and He lives. And I testify that the fulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ and His true Church have been restored to the earth in these latter days through the Prophet Joseph Smith. Priesthood keys and authority and saving ordinances are again found on the earth. By the power of that priesthood, families truly can be together forever. "

I strongly enough you to read the whole talk in your own time. Here's the link below.

How Can We Access to Jesus Christ's Atonement in our Daily Lives?

First and foremost, I encourage you to think about and answer the following questions in your own time.

"How does accessing to Jesus Christ's Atonement has been a blessing to your family members?"                   "How does accessing to Jesus Christ's Atonement has been a blessing to your life so far?"
"How can you access to Jesus Christ's Atonement in your daily life?"

I love accessing to Jesus Christ's Atonement each day and each night. I always have access to his Atonement by forgiving others and myself through my personal prayers every day and every night. I always strive my best to read the scriptures often. I always strive my best to keep up a very great Temple attendance and I always strive my best to keep up a very great Institute attendance.

We all somehow got through our past worst days. We all somehow got through our past worst nights.
We all somehow got through our past challenges. We all somehow got through our past difficulties.

We all somehow got through our past doubts. We all somehow got through our past bad friendships.
We all somehow got through our past hardships. We all somehow got through our past lack of faith.

We all somehow got through our past lack of trust. We all somehow got through our past mistakes.
We all somehow got through our past struggles. We all somehow got through our past temptations.

We all somehow got through our past trials. We all somehow got through our past unrighteous habits.
We all somehow got through our past weaknesses.
If you can't see the Image that I have shared above, it says "All that is unfair about life can be made right through the Atonement of Jesus Christ. - Linda K. Burton." 

I thought about more questions, and you don't have to answer them. 

When was the last time did you face the worst day? When was the last time did you face the worst night? 
When was the last time did you face a challenge? When was the last time did you face a difficulty? 
When was the last time did you face a doubt? When was the last time did you lose a friend? 

When was the last time did you face a hardship? When was the last time did you have a lack of faith?         When was the last time did you have a lack of trust? When was the last time did you make a mistake? 

When was the last time did you face a struggle? When was the last time did you face a temptation? When was the last time did you face a trial? When was the last time did you have a unrighteous habit? 
When was the last time did you face weakness? 

I know we all can get through our worst days, our worst nights. our challenges. our difficulties, our doubts, our hardships, our bad friendship with someone, our lack of faith in someone, our lack of trust in someone, our mistakes, our struggles, our temptations, our trials. our unrighteous habits and our weaknesses one day because Heavenly Father's Begotten Son Jesus Christ has already paid the price for all our sins when he was suffering at the Garden of Gethsemane.

We all need to have access to Jesus Christ's Atonement each day and each night.

Choices

First and foremost, what is the first thing comes to your mind when you hear choices?
Do you think about your past choices? or Did you think about your current choice?

If you were to ask me the same first question, I would answer "the first thing that comes to my mind when I hear choices is my past choices and I don't know why." I thought I already shared a post based on a General Conference talk called, "Choices" by President Thomas S Monson before.

While I was checking to see if I did or not, I was surprised that I haven't. I decided to do a blog post based on that General Conference talk. I would like to share with you some highlights while I was reading the talk recently. If you can't see the Image below, it says "May we ever choose the harder right instead of the easier wrong. Thomas S. Monson."
President Thomas S Monson mentioned,

"I have been thinking recently about choices. It has been said that the door of history turns on small hinges, and so do people’s lives. The choices we make determine our destiny.

When we left our premortal existence and entered mortality, we brought with us the gift of agency. Our goal is to obtain celestial glory, and the choices we make will, in large part, determine whether or not we reach our goal.

May we choose to build up within ourselves a great and powerful faith which will be our most effective defense against the designs of the adversary a real faith, the kind of faith which will sustain us and will bolster our desire to choose the right. Without such faith, we go nowhere. With it, we can accomplish our goals.

Although it is imperative that we choose wisely, there are times when we will make foolish choices. The gift of repentance, provided by our Savior, enables us to correct our course settings, that we might return to the path which will lead us to that celestial glory we seek.

As we contemplate the decisions we make in our lives each day whether to make this choice or that choice if we choose Christ, we will have made the correct choice."

I encourage you to read the whole talk in your own time. Here's the link to the talk below.

Someone's Watching Over Me

I hope you don't mind me sharing short and sweet posts for the past few days/evenings. I will need to start sharing long posts again eventually. For the mean time, I would strongly encourage you to share with me any topics or ideas of what you would like me to blog about. Please let me know. 

First and foremost, "What does someone's watching over me means to you?"

If you were to ask me the same question in your own time, I would have answered, "I always know Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ is watching over me. They watch over everyone else too not just me."

This post is based on a "Raise Your Voice" movie soundtrack called, "Someone's Watching Over Me" by Hilary Duff. Have you seen the movie before? Have your heard the song before without watching the movie first?

I remembered when I kept singing to the song over and over again when I was younger. I rarely sing to the song these days. I can't remember when the last time I sang to the song. I would like to let you know that it is a great song to listen to. I encourage you to listen to the song in your own time, and I would like to share with you, the video clip to the song below.  
If you can't see the video clip above, here's the link to the video clip below. 

If you did listen to the song, I encourage you to think about and ask yourself the following two questions. 
I also encourage to answer the questions in your own time. 

Do you have a most favourite part of the song? Do you have a least favourite part of the song? 
I would like to share with you, the most favourite part of the song that I love while I was listening to the song. My favourite part is shown as the Image that I have shared on this post. If you can't see the Image that I have shared, I would like to share with you what it says. 

It says "It doesn't matter what people say. It doesn't matter how long it takes. 
Believe in yourself and you'll fly high and it only matters how true you are.
Be true to yourself and follow your heart."

I would love to share with you some questions while I was thinking of "Someone's Watching Over Me" phrase.

Who do you think who was watching over you when you were going through your toughest days?
Who do you think who was watching over you when you were going through your brightest days?

Who do you think who was watching over you when you were going through your happy moments?
Who do you think who was watching over you when you were going through your sad moments?

Who do you think who is watching over you this day or evening? 
Who do you think who is watching over you right now? 

I will allow you to think about some examples of what you were thinking of "Someone's Watching Over Me" phrase in your own time.

A Prayer for COURAGE

This post is short and sweet. I would like to not take too much time out of your day or your evening to read this post. I encourage you to think about and answer the following question in your own time.
"What does a Prayer for COURAGE means to you?"

I know there are many times in life when it is the best time to pray for courage. I would like to share with you some examples that I have thought of when I was thinking about the title "A Prayer for COURAGE."

Whenever you face unexpected twists and turns, it is the best time to pray for courage.
Whenever you face life challenges, it is the best time to pray for courage.
Whenever you face life difficulties, it is the best time to pray for courage.
We all shouldn't be feeling discouraged, we all need to press forward as each day and night go by.
We all should be looking up, be grateful, share thanks, be appreciative towards one another always.
We all should always be praying for courage whenever we need to.

When was the last time did you pray for courage? Was it today? Was it yesterday?
Was it a month ago? Was it a year ago? Was it a few years ago?
Was it too long ago that you can't remember when?

How often do you pray for courage? Is it often? Is it regularly?
Is it not so often, like once a few months?

If you can't see the Image that I have shared on this post, it says "A Prayer for COURAGE"

I encourage you to pray for courage often, I promise you if you do, you will able to feel courage often. I hope you can encourage someone else to pray for courage often too.

Little Steps at a Time

This post is short and sweet. This post is based on some notes that I have written and learned during Young Single Adult Class in my ward today and additional comments that I would like to add.

I encourage you to think about and answer the following question in your own time. 
What does "Little Steps at a Time" means to you? 

I encourage you to ask someone, it could be a family member or a friend the same question. 
What does "Little Steps at a Time" means to him or her?

When I think about "Little Steps at a Time," I think about some examples of little steps at a time. 
For an example, It takes little steps to get to know someone better. 

Here is what I learned in class. In Alma chapter 17 and chapter 18, it talks about little steps at a time.           Ammon goes to the land of Ishmael and becomes a servant to King Lamoni. 

Chapter 17, verse 11 - It talks about being patient in long-suffering and afflictions.
Chapter 17, verse 25 - It talks about becoming a servant, serving others. 

Chapter 17, verse 29 - It talks about heart filled with joy and learned to trust. 
Chapter 18, verse 5 - It talks about actions is ready to be taught. 

I think becoming friends first is the first priority in missionary work. I know Missionaries strives their best to get to know someone, do some service, care about someone, support someone, being patient, always following up and if someone doesn't end up being interested in getting discussions after doing those wonderful things, that's okay because they have built their friendship with that someone. 

After the Missionaries has finished their missions, they still can be friends with who they have met during the mission and they can be friends for a very long time. I know it would be a wonderful feeling to be still friends after their missions for a long time. 
I like the Image that I have shared on this post. If you can't see the Image that I have shared, it says "There is no one giant step that does it its a bunch of little steps. Peter Cohen."

Always remember to take little steps at a time.

Find Strength within Yourself

It has been eight days ago since I last share a post. Wow! I am so sorry for not posting for a long time.
I really hope you will accept my apology. I also hope that you have been reading some of the past posts while waiting for a new post to be shared. This post is short and sweet.

I encourage you to think about and answer the following question in your own time.
"What does Find Strength within Yourself means to you?"

I know that sometimes it is hard for myself to find strength within myself. I agree with the Image below.
I hope you can agree with the Image says. If you can't see the Image above, it says "I encourage all of you to find strength within yourself, no matter what. Be proud of who you are and never let anyone or anything take that away from you.

Inner Strength is something that we are all born with, However, I've learned that it requires patience and perseverance to fully achieve it. I promise you, though, that as long as you know in your heart who you are and what you want from this world, nothing is gonna stop you. - Andy Birersack."

I kept thinking to remember who I was in the past, who I am now as present and who I will yet to become.
I also kept thinking to remember the things that I want to achieve in this life.

What Brings You Up?

This post is short and sweet. I encourage you to think about and answer the following question in your own time. "What are some of things that brings you up?"

I would like to share with you some of the things that brings me up.

I love reading my friend's MTC and mission experiences. It is always amazing for me to know their missions has changed their lives for the better and more prepared for their future lives after their missions. I know that they would want to continue to share the gospel with others and non-member friends after their missions.

I love reading General Conference talks over and over again. It makes me so happy and spiritual focused. General Conference always have great messages that relates to me and relates to other people around me in everyday life.
I love going to Institute each week, so I can learn something new and I am always prepared to answer any questions that the teacher has. Insittute is always a great spiritual night for during the week.

I love going to the Temple often because I love feeling happiness, peace, comfort and direction for most times when I go to the Temple.

I love going to Young Single Adults activities because I love spending some time with some of my church friends who I haven't seen for ages and also I love getting involved.

I love the Image that I have shared for this post, I agree what the Image says and if you can't see the Image, it says "Don't ask what the world needs, ask what makes you come alive and you go do that because what the world needs is people who have come alive. - Howard Thurman."
