Obsession


Who else is loving The Vampire Diaries this season? I love it every season, so that is not saying much. But still. So INTENSE. And I miss the old Stefan, but I love Damon and Elena's relationship and I am so torn. And Bonnie and Jeremy need to stop fighting and be in love. And Tyler has come so far and now is being bad! And poor Matt. And I miss Jenna, and love Alaric. And Katherine better still be alive even though she is a biotch. AND OMG WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN? And maybe I should get a life and worry about something a little more important? Oh well. Thursdays are great days. And can I also just say that they are all so hott? Well that's all for now. VD is now streaming live on Netflix, so go NOW and get caught up and then we can all love it together.

I Know.

I just wanted to bear my testimony. This blog has a lot of nonsense on it. And while nonsense is always fun, I just want to tell my friends, family, and anyone else who may read this what I KNOW.

I know Christ lives and loves us. Sometimes it is hard to imagine that someone can love you that much, you know? But he does. Just think about it for a second and it will blow your mind. He volunteered to take on YOUR sins. He willingly felt all the pain there has ever been in the world just because he loves us and wants us to live with him again. He is with us. He knows us. He understands how we are feeling. I wish I didn't let him down so much. But I am going to try to be better. And I am going to try to get to know him better. I don't know him as well as I should. But he knows me.

I also know that we need to have faith in him and his timing. It is hard for us to see the whole picture a lot of the time but he sees EVERYTHING. He won't lead you astray. Trust in him and love him. It is really hard sometimes. Just pray for patience and peace. It will come. I am a firm believer that things always have a way of working themselves out. Not always the way we planned or hoped they would. It is usually better than we could have imagined.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is true. I don't understand or comprehend everything about it but I know it is true. And I am so grateful for it. I would be lost without it.

Prayer is real. Heavenly Father is listening to you. Talk to him. He is waiting. I have to remind myself that.

We have a living prophet. He guides and directs us. Listen to him. Sustain him and love him.

Life is hard, but through the gospel we can overcome anything. If I am ever having a hard time please remind me of that.

I love the gospel, I love Christ, and I love all of you. If anyone ever needs anything, or just wants someone to listen please come to me. I love talking to people. It is one of my favorite things to do. Keep your faith. And just keep having hope. Life is hard sometimes but it is also wonderful! And remember

"Be of good cheer. The future is as bright as your faith"
-President Thomas S. Monson

If this doesn't make you cry, I don't know what will...

If you didn't already know, I LOVE HARRY POTTER. More than any other story in the WORLD! And although I love the books more, the movies really did bring it to life for me. So watch this. And maybe cry like Chandler and I just did. Maybe we are just emotional? So be it. It is lovely. I don't think I will ever get over my sadness that Harry is over. But like J.K. Rowling says, "the stories we love the most stay with us forever." I know Harry Potter will. I love the characters as if they were my own best friends. Ridiculous maybe? You are probably saying to yourself "Mel, they aren't real!" I think they are, and you can't prove to me they aren't so BAM. Well, I am weird so I guess I should just shut up and let you all watch this now. If you watch it, please comment and tell me what your thoughts were. See you next time friends!
