Look Up, Step Up, Cheer Up! :)

Today my stake had a Women's Conference. The theme was ~Look Up, Step Up, and Cheer up~.

I was excited for it because i felt the topic was meant for me! Being away from home and security and having a plan for everything you do, i miss that. Its hard being on your own literally and financially. I don't know what to do this summer, where to go, how to earn the money i need, what my future holds, and its scary. I keep holding on to the past hoping that it will bring me closure.... yaaa right! That just confuses me even more! I need to let go of the past and live for the now!

LOOK UP!

-The sun is ALWAYS shining, we just need to determine what altitude we will fly at!

-We need saving, and most importantly, we are WORTH saving!

-Christ suffered for all my sins, he has felt all my sorrow and all my pain. He knows how i feel and he knows what I'm scared of. I just need to go to Him! He is the ONLY one who knows how to help me and take my pain away! Why am i here sitting and struggling, when there is someone who knows how to make it all better just waiting for me?!

-Don't look at the past, the sides, or down. We need to just look up! How else are we going to be happy and be able to move on with our life?!

STEP UP!

-Step up so we can STAND out!

-"When we live like disciples of Christ should live, when we aren't just good but happy to be good others will be drawn to us because we are "distinct and different- in happy ways"."

-We shouldn't look around and live our life wondering what others are thinking about It, that's a waste of time! We should only be concerned of what our Heavenly Father thinks of us!

- Step up and CHOOSE to not be the Waldo of the world!

CHEER UP!

~Ways to cheer up!~

- Try not to care what others think

-There is powers in a cheerful attitude

-Do things that cheer you up
-How to stay cheerful when times are hard: DANCE, MUSIC, BE SOCIAL!!

After the workshops we went to have lunch and we had Costs Vida!!! At the tables there were balloons tied there. We were told to write down something on our balloon that we need to let go that was controlling or causing stress to our life. I decided to just write one word. Past. We then went outside and at the same time we let our balloons go at the same time. As i was watching my balloon fly away, it make me reflect on how i need to start living my now life NOW! The past was great. I have many many good memories, friendships and relationships i made, lessons i learned and still have people that i care about and love, but i can't keep holding on to those things and allow it to not let me move on and experience life, new things!

I need to Look up to my Heavenly Father for help and guidance, Step up and actually do something about it, and Cheer up because life is beautiful and i have soooo much to be grateful for!
