I Believe.

In this world today, we are often asked what we believe, because we have to have something we believe in otherwise this world seems dim and dark. We need a belief system, something to support us. In todays trials it's a necessity.

I came across the talk by Elder Jeffery R Holland from the LDS General Conference in April.
"Lord, I believe."

LOOK IT UP.

Shay's thoughts.

Often we lead our lives with what we don't know, but as I do that it makes me question what I do know.
If I change it to leading with what I do know, there is something firm to stand on.

This world changes so fast, mostly in way we don't want it to, ways we don't plan, and places our hearts don't want to believe. Sometimes it's difficult to understand why things happen, or why we are going through them. For me I struggle understanding why some prayers are answered and others seem to be forgotten, but then I am remember that I am living for the Lord, He is the one that has the map for my life, He's the one who knows me best, and knows how I can grow.

Growing physically is painful, you literally get growing pains. Why would spiritual growth be any different?

Start simple, stand the ground I have gained. I know that there is a God who loves me and listens to my prayers. He answers ALL of them, even if sometimes it's not the way I want or planned. He knows the way. I don't. I need to trust that.

Anyways, this talk is amazing. Take the time. If you are struggling with things in life, MAKE time for it. Making time makes all the difference.
It has for me, I promise it will for you.

If you don't believe, find something to believe in, it will bring a light into your life that you never thought could be there. The struggles don't stop, but the strength and support will someday come.
He promises.



Loves,

Shay!

Your "Thoughts and Prayers" Are Bullshit.

Yes. I said it. I also thoroughly agree with that statement. Here's why. As I've been going through pretty huge and life-changing medical problems, my family has been physically nowhere near me. Granted my intestine decided to swell up in Saskatoon, which isn't convenient for anyone. It's given me so much time to think, in some scary and painful moments. Let me preface this by saying I'm not a religious person,  However from what I know, God, helped those in need, he didn't just pray for the sick,  he visited them, and he served them. Let's imagine that when that blind guy came to he Jesus, Jesus said, "You're in my thoughts and prayers" and then left. That story would have turned out very differently. We all do and say things in our lives almost out of habit. Like think of how many times you've said "Hey how are you?" and not actually listened for the answer. Lots, I know. I do this ALL the time, and I'm working incr...

Do I Have What it Takes?

! Do I have what it takes? I've asked myself that about 436,598 times over the past 5 years, and in the course of my life.. I know I've asked it even more than that. Being self employed is not an easy task all the time, it's giving up partying on weekends, it's staying home to plan work, or to onboard a client. It's dealing with clients who preach one thing and practice another. It's knowing who you are in and out of the business. This week my friend and I watched Spider-man Homecoming.. okay.. we watched it for like the 5th time.. but whatever.. the point of it is.. there's a moment where Peter is talking to Tony and he says, "You can't take this suit, I'm nothing without it" Then Tony says, "If you are nothing without the suit then you shouldn't have it." Later when it builds to the pinnacle part of the story Peter is crushed under half a building, and he's trying to stand.. it's a very emotional moment fo...

In the Daylight

! I'm just a girl sitting here, wondering about the mysteries of the universe. I sat outside on a starry night under the blood wolf super moon waiting to feel the change the air has inside of it. "I'm searching for authentic, true, and loyal people who deeply love me." I whisper to myself as my shutter clicks. I felt the change I was seeking start to take root, I knew it would soon grow, but I was not prepared for what it would bring. I was not prepared to have you standing in the sun. There was no way I planned that there would be no more shadows surrounding who you were, and more so who I was in relation. The change in the air, brought in the truth I needed to visualize what was happening. Since that moment a shift has happened, to me, in clarity. It was like the blinders were ripped off and I was thrust in to the brightness of the noon day sun. I could see everything, there's no shadows, no more questions, no more doubt, only knowl...
