My Testimony : )

No one will convince me otherwise. i know that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the true church of Christ restored on the earth. I don't care if you pity me, I don't care if you love me, I don't care if you pray for me. I already know the truth. And that is that the Bible, Book of Mormon, Doctrine of Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price are THEE words of God. I know that God loves me and Jesus paid the price of the atonement so that I could live my life and live in both of their Glorious presences for the rest of eternity if I but repent of my sins and live the best life I can. God loves me. He has a purpose for me and he knows me in depth. Christ is my saivior and redeemer and I love him with a greater love than anyone can conceive. I KNOW that Joseph Smith was the prophet that brought the true church back to the earth. I Am more sure thanI've ever been in my life that Thomas Spencer Monson is the living prophet of the World. I am a daughter of God and have the potential to become so much like God and Christ that I myself can become a goddess. Though I know I'm imperfect and I have a lot to work on, I KNOW I'm Christian to the very essence of the word in the fact that I'm trying to become like Christ and come back and live with Both Christ and my Heavenly Father once again in heaven. I understand that families are forever and I love mine with all my heart even if i don't aknowledge that sometimes. My church is true and my love for the world is strong. Only Christ knows the pain I suffer because of my compassion for others and I've felt the comforting whisper of the Holy Ghost. God Is alive! So is Jesus! And the spirit of the Holy Ghost dwells in all the righteous and deserving children of the earth. God is our creator and Jesus is his son. We are created in the image of God. Both physically and spiritually. I know that God loves everyone on a very personal level. And that he has all the power beyond this universe. And I know that God hears our prayers. I know that man can recieve personal revelation for themselves and that The Prophet of the church (Thomas S. Monson) recieves revelation for all man kind.
The Presidency speaks of God. Of Jesus. And of every other topic nessacary to address. Mormons are Christians, and I KNOW it.
Everything I have said is true. And will remain true for the rest of eternity. This is the truth and I know it. This is my great testimony and knowledge of great divine truths and I will never deny them!

Christmas Time**

Christmas time is amazing. : ) I love this time of year. It's really awesome. The whole christmas spirit shin-dig. haha
But this time of year really is special to me. It just fills my heart with love and affection towards everyone. And it reminds me wholly of the Christ in which this holiday celebrates. : )
Even if you don't believe this man is the son of God, it's been pretty much proven he existed and this man has had the biggest influence on man than all of the others combined. With all of his revolutionary ideas and high moral standards. Not to mention the miricales he preformed whether they be witchcraft or works of GOd. I believe they happened for a good purpose. : )
I love life at Christmas time and I think others should try to obtain the same mind set. : )

Giving Thanks

Mmmm. : ) Thanksgiving. I'm not sure if I like this holiday or not to be honest, but it does make you think. So i suppose it's alright. It's so crazy to count all the blessings in your life. There are so many things that half the time you don't even think of as a blessing. Like your health. Or your Job. The very fact that you're alive is pretty heavy. But yeah. I think that's about all I have for today.

My turkey was yummy and the food I made from scratch was delicious. : ) It was a good Thanksgiving. : )

PHoToS

THis post is going to be nothing but photos. : ) Hope you like it. It's going to be a mixture of stuff I've found off the internet and stuff that I've edited. (don't worry, lol you're not going crazy, I've put some of these on here before.) Not to mention, I'm just gonna tell you a little bit of what I think about them and why. :) Enjoy!!






So this one I found on google one day awhile ago. I just love the color and simplicity of the whole thing. Also the kind of glowing thing that's going on with it. : ) It's pretty awesome. : )







I love close up photography. : ) This one I also found thanks to google. :) I like the detail, and the color. Not to mention the fact that they're colored pencils, which are very important to an artist as myself. haha :)







I'm a girl of simple taste. Words and colors are the best two things in the world. : ) SO that most definately explains why I like this one.












It's a sea of crayons!! What's better than that? : ) Unsurmountable amounts of the object of so many people's childhoods. : ) I LOVE crayons.











A flower of fire. : ) one of the wonders of the world. : ) Lol though a most likely fictional picture, it's emmensly beautiful. : )










Paint. : ) And it's orange. Zig-zags are amazing. ^^














Colors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!












: ) like i said earlier. I love close up photography. : )










I'm a teenage girl. The heart is self-explainatory. lol














hearts and swirls. : ) Yay!












What can I say? I love nature. And geometric illusions like this are cool. : )

















This one's just cool. Both in the way it looks and the message it sends. : ) hehe (for you Mr. tuff) : P
















:) A heart again. In the ice. Pretty symbolic. Not to mention it's really close to both of my favorite colors. :)















Good quote. : )














This one is my absolute favorite though. : ) I don't know what it is about it, but The design is just Epic and beautiful and graceful and crazy and weird and amazing all at the SAME TIME!!!! : ) It's great!!!

DramaZ, YucK!

Has anyone found the purpose for drama yet? I mean, I've been in this world for 15 years and still don't understand the reasons for it. I mean it's ridiculous. All the lies, the rumors, the relationships, the break-ups, the heart aches, the fun making. People are so cruel to each other. IT's pointless and stupid. And I just thought I'd share that bit of opinion with everyone.

So anyway, How are all my non-existant readers? :) lol I feel so accomplished that no one reads this. I mean, yeah, I don't know what I mean.

I personally find bloging very theraputic and fun. It's just so hard to do it all the time i guess is the real problem. But yeah, So I'm gonna put a picture on here and then split. :) I got some life to live.







Peace LoverZ <3 : )

SiLlEH *BandZ*

My sexy ass friend Mummbles just introduced me to these amazing things called silly bandz. And they're amazing because they're a bracelet and an animal/toy all in one. :D And They are awesome because they come in lots of different shapes and they can be lots of different objects or animals or whatever. :D (I'm currently wearing two octopus ones. lol) ANd I know this sounds like an advertisement of some sort, but they deserve it because they come in solid and mulitcolors (rainbow, Duh!) And it's because of the rainbow-ness of them is the whole reason why I mention them on here. In my opinion, they should become my new mandatory blog accesory. :) hehe




See? Aren't they cute? lol and they come in stuff like cars and dogs and stuff too. haha XD

ARt

What makes something art? Who decides if it's art or not? Who picks what's good quality and bad? Well I'm gonna give you my own insight on the topic today. :)
My definition of art is this:






ARt-An expression of yourself with the colors of your soul;something that came out of the depths of your heart out into the world.

THat's what art is. :)




ANd I think I'm gonna show you what I mean. I'm about to show you what I think art is. :)












That's about as awesome as it gets when It comes to art. :)

Confrentation -.-

Arguments are freaking pointless. No one wins and everyone gets hurt. I hate fighting. I hate yelling. I hate relationships. Sometimes I think that life would be so much better if no one met anyone. But then the world wouldn't spin round, would it? Still, I think confrentation is pointless and retarded.
War is pointless and peace is imposible. This is how our world works. ANd it's never been fair. Love is war, and war involves no love. So how does that even work out?
Faith is a fool's reassurance and the morals of society today are slowly being eaten alive by foul language, sexual excessivness and violence. Twisted minds are overcoming the world and warping everything good and pure. Children are born into dirt, nomatter where they're born. Everything is horrible and very few people are strong enough to withstand it. Most fall to thier knees in exhaustion.
God is beyond understanding. And quite frankly, I'm sick of trying to figure out why he lets his children tear themselves and his earth to pieces. It makes no logical sense and causes me to loose my sense of self along with my faith. All the evil in this world makes me doubt the kindness of God more than his existance.
I believe that God is out there, I just doubt whether he or jesus were right to pick this. To choose this, to let everyone suffer. I just don't think he has the answers anymore. Or maybe I'm just as confused about it as everyone else is now.

I need my music back... because I think my last marble was attached to it. I honestly could care less about what happens to me anymore. ANd the irony of all of it is that I'm not sure anyone will even read my plea. My cry.
I'm stuck. ANd it ****ing sucks. I just need some help. I need someone to help me stich my small fabric of sanity back together. Because I'm stranded in seas of people.

These conditions aren't ideal for small feats to be accomplished. In fact, they rather suck.

**** THE WORLD. I hate it all, but most of all I hate myself and him...both of them...their whole kind.

: ) Update

Alright. :) Today is a song reccomendation day. Here's a list. :D hehe






Animals. :) Very good song. : P I was actually a bit shocked the first time I listened to it. Enjoy! :D








Okay. Nevermind. I lied. That's not all that's going to happen today. But those two songs are pretty awsome. Haha

So I just wanted to tell you guys, I have another blog, it's kind of an investigation thing. ANd it's gonna be awesome! So go visit it. : ) it's:

http://thosethatdeservearoundofapplause.blogspot.com/

It's just an out cry for the lessers of society. :) It's gonna be good. haha And then I'm also managing two other blogs for friends of mine. One being:

http://shecouldsnapatanymoment.blogspot.com/


The second:


http://herrippleffect.blogspot.com/

They're majorly amazing.(I designed them myself) And they haven't started yet, but I'm told they're just trying to figure out what to write about. : ) So yeah. I hope you have fun.

Yeah, I don't have much to talk about today. Though I went to my school registration today and come to find myself slightly depressed about it. IT's a new year and I'm closer than ever to coming to end of childhood and it rather frightens me. I've only got 3 more summers until I start college. ANd that's crazy! ya know? I just feel like I barely have any time to decide what I'm going to do with my life and that's a scary thought. So yeah... I also went clothes shopping today. : ) Which I'm excited for. : )

And next week I get my IPhone. THen tommorow I have to go in for school pictures. Really exciting, let me tell you. : J ugh. Life.


















(this Is the one I'm getting)

Photography

Today I was just thinking about photography. I was thinking about how much I love it and how effective it can be. I also wondered what it might be like if they had never invented the camera. It would be kind of hard to have the computer.
But there are pictures that are photos that are everywhere that you don't even notice. You see them at school, you see them on comercials, magazines, and then you find out that someone took it during the great depression or something. My point is that a simple picture of a poor women during the great depression makes an echoing sound in the scholastic system. I've been in numerous schools and have seen it often in most all of them. (the picture I'm refering to is below. Let's see if you've seen it before.)









My bet is you've seen it before. Right? : ) It's kinda cool.

But yeah. So Let's do a random poem today. :)

The sunset is beautiful
Like a rose in bloom
But more spectacular
amazing and luminous
The horizon turns unnatural in color
Beautiful oranges and pinks
Every now and then a purple
The sunset is my paradise
It takes my breath away
And all I have to do is step out the door when the earth spins just right

I'm not sure how random that was. But whatever. : ) haha and a pretty picture or two. : D


















This is why I love it. : ) It brings beauty to the world and to my blog. :D Hehe That's all. :)

Just A Picture

SO.... I'm really not sure what to talk abut. I'm just gonna give you a picture. : )




There ya go.

LuV LeXcI

Well this week has most definately been weird. I just feel..... contemplative. THat's really all giving up the social network sites for awhile does for me. It makes me sad... and not so much because I miss facebook or myyearbook, but because I'm thinking about things and the reasons for things and just lots of things in general.

THough I have been much more productive around the house. : ) I've been cleaning and doing laundry and stuff like that. I've been planning meals and cooking, and getting up kinda early. And I've been helping take care of the new puppy my brother got for his birthday. : )
My oldest younger sister's birthday was today (well technically yesterday, but whatever) and I think she had a good time. She turned 14 this year. ANd a lot of other exciting things happened. Like I did lots of chores, got things almost done, a big rain storm came, oh, and my mom broke her hand. Isn't that just great?

HEr hand! The right one. What happened was that the little kids were out in this rain/lightening/thunder storm playing with balloons, and my mom was standing in the doorway with her hand on the frame of the door, then a sudden gust of wind or something pushed the door shut on her hand. Isn't that just peachy? Ugh... I hate breaking things....it hurts.

But yeah... everyth..OH! and I almost forgot. My youngest sister (5 years old) tripped on her face and got the messiest bloody nose I've ever seen, and I cleaned her up all by myself with no gagging involved at all. : D Actually, I was rather really calm. It was Kinda awesome. And then another cool part is I don't think her dress suffered any blood stains because I tediously washed them all out.

Then later in the afternoon I went to our family physician for the first time (here anyway, we just moved, and this was my first time meeting him)and he had a really uncomfortable vibe. He was just overly serious and such a downer. To be honest, I think he made some judgements about me before he even walked in the door. And I don't know.... he was just overly serious. He didn't smile once while I was conversing with him. At all. It was highly uncomfortable.

And then my youngest sister got her kindergarden shots today and she didn't cry or whimper or anything. : ) It was kinda cool. : D I was super proud of her. I love her a lot. haha

Then there's just a lot of stuff on my mind man. I'm not sure what I wanna go to college for anymore...again. Why do people have to be such downers on everything sometimes? It just sucks the hope out of everything. Geez, I really wanna leave my house. I kinda can't wait sometimes. Then other times I'm scared shitless. It's very ambivalent emotions.

But alright. Shall I show some pretty pictures to the world today? I think today I'm just going to find some cool ones on google. So I take no credit for them. They aren't my work. : P

Here:



THis one is pretty awesome. : ) I live for music. I'd pretty much be dead if music didn't exist.










THat's a very pretty flower. : ]













That's glass, right? I'm not exactly sure, but It's really pretty.
















I love stuff like this. It's so...invigorating. : ] I don't know how to explain it... haha, but it just gives me a warm feeling inside.





Alright. I love you all. And no, Nothing's wrong. SO :p..... haha ;J







<3/Lexci

Social Networking Drop : )

So I was just thinking... What happens when people just decide to give up the internet? Does anyone give it up now-a-days? I mean, what would happen if I just up and deleted all my accounts on the internet and just didn't use the computer for a period of time? Is it any worse than giving up television or video games? I think my actual question is: would it improve any aspect of my life a great deal? Just living without facebook or myspace or myyearbook, would it help my sanity at all? What if I gave up everything except this blog and only got the computer like once a week to write an entry in here (excluding research for school papers, various other assignments, etc.)?

I mean, does facebook really benefit you? In any way? Does it make you happier? Not in my experience. SO I think I might just give up on it. For awhile atleast. I need to find other more productive things to do with my life. Ya know what I mean?
So I guess My experiment begins. : ) Off to the races my friends! HEre I go!

I'll tell you how it goes later on. : D

Isn't It Beautiful?

Okay, so I couldn't resist. I had to put a picture up today. ANd I was just SO BORED. : ) haha

SO yeah, HEre it is:



Isn't it beautiful? lol

Blog About Nothing

Sorry You guys, no pictures today. But yea, So I'm in Salt Lake today and I've just been hangin out. I'm so sad that I can't go swimming in my Grandma's pool. : / Curse Mother nature. lol

But yeah. I've just been...ugh. I feel like I have no privacy in my openess. : P If that even possible, I'm not sure. But today I feel like a earn little respect from some people. But yeah.

Sorry this is so Short today, but I just can't concentrate lately. SO yeah. Should I add some length?

Well I'm sitting here at my Grandpa's desk, typing on his wireless keyboard, watching my grandparents cat watch me typing. This cat is old and grouchy and she likes me for some reason. I find her amusing for some reason, maybe because her head is kind of large for her body. But seeing her makes me really miss my kitten. And I left him with my with a spraied hind leg. I'm worried about him when the little kids go back. But My sister will be there so maybe she can protect him somewhat.
But my family decided they are going to sleep over again another night. And yeah. I'm really missing my best friend right about now. I hope I can see her while I'm down here. I haven't seen her since like.....Chirstmas. D : But yeah.

So Hopefully this is enough random crap to keep this blog about nothing going. So but, yeah. later. I think I'm gonna go take a nap.

<3 /Lexci

God

I didn't really put much thought into today. I'm not even sure if I'll write much. I guess I'll just talk about what's been happening lately. Well about a week ago I turned 15 and got some stuff for my birthday. Then Sunday was my youngest sisters birthday and she turned 5. She's super sweet and cute. She got this little battery powered barbie car and when she gets stuck in it, She gets out and moves it so she can keep going.

Now that I say that outloud...I think little kids do a lot of things that could be taken as wise advice if you actually thought about the message they're giving. Like my sister's for example: "If you get stuck, Get out of the car and do something about it". Lol It's crazy how much you learn from just looking around.

Like watching a family fall into ruins, you learn what not to do for your own future family. You see what might have been done better. You see alternative choices that the people in the problem are blind to.

WHen you hear about drama at school. You see how horrible people can be, so you become better for not repeating others mistakes. For not getting high before school everyday like the kid that's been there longer than the rest of the people his age. Or the girl who has no right to spread rumors because she has a slightly different face than others. Humans are heartless sometimes. Especially today's children.

Most of them excepting violence and horrible language. Thinking it's okay to experiment with the opposite sex, drugs, and mistakes they all regret later.

It feels like no one is safe anymore. And it's sad. It's so sad. No one knows how to save themselves. How to not be stupid. How to not fall in love. HOw to not have sex. How to not give in to peer presure. How to NOT do things.

And anything kind is forgien to them. It's sad.

I know kids who don't even know how horrible their lives are. Don't even care how stupid their choices are. What's gonna happen next even though they've done it a thousand times.

I'm just mad at the world. It's so cruel. And God does nothing about it. Stupid God.

Lily Tattoos

DOn't you hate how days go from interesting and hilarious to boring, stressful, and annoying? Well I had one of those transistions lately. It's oddly anonoying in a not annoying way if that makes any sense. But yeah. So shall we talk about what today is?

It's Father's Day! : P Woot... ^.- Ugh. I rather dislike this day. My dad thinks that because it's father's day, he has the right to order us around like we're getting paid to clean the house/ do it for a living (which we obviously don't). I mean, clean a room or two for you, fine. But

Do the dishes
Clean the Kitchen
Fold a Mountain of laundry
Clean an impossibly messy loft
And watch a 9 year-old, 6 year-old, and 4 year-old at the same time (while he and my mom leave for about 5 hours)!

I'm Not super momma. For two reasons:

1. I in no way have super powers

2. I'm not a momma yet.

So yes. That was My Father's Day Rant. I'm venting out frustrations in a creative, harmless way. : ) So it's okay. I would call them meaningless cuss words, but that just might get me fired up about it again. SO i won't. (oh! and by momma, I mean mother/mom/ma/mommy/etc.,take your pick)

So earlier I was having a discussion with my friend about music that I like. And I was talking about which singers have "sexy voices". So I think I'm gonna do a spceal list on all the singers I can think of that i find to have attractive voices. : ) haha So here we go:

Hinder

Pat Monahan (the lead singer of Train, but I knew him by his name first. lol so i use this)

Brayn Adams

The lead singer of Escape The Fate

Ne-Yo

Chris Brown

The LEad singer Of Depeche Mode

Keith Urban

The Lead Singer Of The All-American Rejects

The Lead Singer of Three Days Grace

THe lead SInger of Nirvana

The lead singer Of Def Leppard

Teddy Geiger

The LEad Singer Of NIckelback

The lead singer Of 30 Seconds To Mars

The Lead Singer of Boys Like GIrls

The Lead Singer of My Chemical Romance

And Many, Many, Many more. Haha. OH!

ANd Johnny Cash! Hehe ^^

Alright. SO now that that's done with, let's do something different. I say, let's add a couple pictures of possible tattoos. : ) haha alright. Here we go.



I really like this one because it's like simple, but intracite at the same time. And it's also abstract. : ) Very pretty.



Lilies ARe my favortie flower. : )











I've always had this thing for birds. they're just so graceful and pretty. ^^



I love this one. : D It's a turtle and a flower at the same time. Haha turtles are so awesome.



Lotus Flowers are amazing. ^^ They're like my second favortie flower. : )


Alright. That's all for Today I think. : ) haha. Thanky.

REst IN Peace Bill

Alright, So I have a tragic tale to tell. This afternoon? Morning maybe. Well, my samsungsway phone died by drowning in the kiddie pool I was trying to drain. It was very sad because I had only just decided to name him Bill about a month before the incident.

But I suppose that the moral of the story is that you can get really attatched to a phone even if the phone sucks. Because to be honest, It's a pretty phone, but I would never reccomend it to someone. Though I do like the keypad design, but the flaws out weigh the positives.

Bleh, I'm lost on what to type today.

Oh Right! I remembered! I wanted to reccomend another song today. : )

It's called Making Memories Of Us by Keith Urban. And yes. It's a country song. And though a good majority of the people i associate with don't like country I'm still reccomending it. And today I'm gonna give you the lyrics also. : ) Because They're just so cute. So here we go.

Artist: Keith Urban
Album: Greatest Hits
Title: Making Memories of Us


I'm gonna be here for you baby
I'll be a man of my word
Speak the language in a voice that you have never heard
I wanna sleep with you forever
And I wanna die in your arms
In a cabin by a meadow where the wild bees swarm

And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust making memories of us

I wanna honor your mother
I wanna learn from your pa
I wanna steal your attention like a bad outlaw
I wanna stand out in a crowd for you
A man among men
I wanna make your world better than it's ever been

And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust making memories of us

We'll follow the rainbow
Wherever the four winds blow
And there'll be a new day
Comin' your way

I'm gonna be here for you from now on
This you know somehow
You've been stretched to the limits but it's alright now
And I'm gonna make you this promise
If there's life after this
I'm gonna be there to meet you with a warm, wet kiss

And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust making memories of us
I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll win your trust making memories of us


Cute, Right? Haha I think I like it so much because for some odd reason, It reminds me of a dear friend. : )
