Be thou an example of the believers

Hi My Name is Trish!
I am a pretty fun person to be around. I love to have fun and be super outgoing.
I also have a serious side of me which pretty much happens when I'm at school or practicing my faith.
I am finishing up my Sophomore year in College.
I am an LDS and have been a member of the Church since July 13th 2008.
I am a sucker for living righteously and following the Lord's commandments.
I have an amazing family that I constantly talk about around my friends.
My friends are wonderful and I would say that most of them know me inside and out.
I love Daisies and Tulips, and a nice view of the city.
I love everything plaid and floral and Aeropostale.
I love trying new things that are thrown my way.
Taking risks in life that I never imagined I would do but I'm happy and that's all that matters.
I love to sing and dance and I would party all night if I could.
I would love to hike up a really tall mountain one day and see the sun setting.
I am compassionate, blessed, hard worker, competitive and unique.
I make good judgments and have matured in the last 3 years of my life.
College is my turning point in life and it definitely is helping me build up my future and where I want to take my life to.
I love watching people play sports or anything competitive.
I write my life on paper so that I can look back and see what I've done in the past.
I may be short but I can definitely handle bigger things in life.
I love colors and when I have an opportunity to wear all colors of the rainbow I do it but my favorite color is purple. It actually changes almost everyday depending on my mood.




I honestly don't know what I was thinking about when I started this. But one thing's for sure is that I know people follow what I post on my facebook all the time and it made me think that when people look for answers I hope and pray that I can help at least one soul when I write my life away that you can be inspired through my writing. Because I literally write my life out on journals and random scraps of paper especially now that I am in college.


So yesterday was Sunday, March 6, 2011. When I went to church I found another revelation that I have been needing in my life. The Relief Society Message yesterday was about making changes in your life. That lesson was to die for and I was thankful enough that I was there. This one girl sang while we thought about a struggle in our life that we turned our lives around and changed. A part of the lyrics to the song was


He is the anchor of my hope that I can truly change...


I wish that I got the title of that song. It was beautifully sang and the pianist was amazing as well. It really helped me realize how much I have grown in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It allows you to think every time you ponder your thoughts and prove that you can do something about a lesson so strong as this. So I shared my testimony of prayer yesterday. I stated the following:


I live right next to the temple, the conference center, the Joseph Smith Building, The Relief Society Building, The Church office Building, and a block away from the LDS Business College. I was sent out here and prayerfully I asked our Savior to lead me and guide me to what needs to be done in my life. It's a given that when I first stepped into Salt Lake City, I was stubborn and had a hard heart and told myself that I wasn't going to make any friends and that I was sent here to finish my education and I will only do that. But days went by and I didn't have a roommate for so many weeks and I found myself meeting new people and later finding out that I have an amazing bishopric here in my current ward. I had a Bishop who knew what he was talking about and I felt like he was who was sent to me to guide me in every day decisions that life threw at me. Bishop Young is an amazing Bishop who is now waiting to do his service for the Lord in the Eugene, Oregon Mission with his wife, Sister Young. He is a strong man with a lot of courage and he persevered in every righteous act. Now we have Bishop Mouritsen, another great man. I have gotten to know him along with Brother Nielsen. I will tell you that if you are willing to invite the Holy Ghost in your life, everything will fall through and you will love the changes as it will make you feel blessed and happy with your decisions. I have a strong and powerful testimony of that and I am not afraid to stand up and be an example of the believers.


I have lived with this scripture for as long as I have been a member of this true Church. It's in Mosiah 5:15
Therefore, I would that ye should be steadfast and immovable, always abounding in good works, that Christ, the Lord God Omnipotent, may seal you his, that you may be brought to heaven, that ye may have everlasting salvation and eternal life, through the wisdom, and power, and justice, and mercy of him who created all things, in heaven and in earth, who is God above all. Amen.


I know in my heart that a lot of you have already told me that you looked up to me for guidance and strength. There was also another thing that stuck out to me yesterday in Relief Society.


Become who you want to marry.


It's true! A lot of girls would sit and wait for the right person and vise versa. How do you expect the right person to come to you if you don't do anything about it? When you read your scriptures, prayerfully seeking for answers, and living righteously, I can testify that you will be brought to the right person. Well I'm the kind of person that does something about everything. I am pretty outspoken and I have even talked to random people I don't know. Because one day, even if you unintentionally just happen to speak to a random person, you never know that you just changed someone's life. It's pretty cool how life works and I love life. I am happy with mine and very content with it.


So go out there, and make a difference. Shine more like the stars in the night sky and the world will be yours.
