In It For The Love Of The Game

I feel MUUUUUUUUCH better today!

JOY!

Where have you been?!

I woke up feeling back to myself again.

MUY BUENO GRACIAS!

The sun is shining and I'm feeling good.

I just got back from tutoring my kids.

They are awesome.

The girl I tutor had subtraction flashcards and let me tell you...I was a little rusty.

I had to think a little more than I thought I would need to.

I told her I wasn't very good at math.

Then she was like, "Last quarter I made all A's in math."

Danggggg girl. 

After I was done tutoring the substitute in one of my kid's classes asked me to watch the class real quick while he did something...

I was like.."Are you sure?"

So I went in there and my boy was sitting with his group of friends and they all were like, "HEY JACKIE'S TUTOR!!!" 

I was like "Heeeeey!!!"

Then another kid was like, "I like your hair!"

Then another started telling me about the concert they're doing tonight.

Some others were looking at my name tag and saying my name out loud.

Those kids are adorable.

They crack me up.

Tonight is some cake thing that the Relief Society in my mom's ward is doing.

It's like a cake-off I guess?

I don't know...I'm just going to get some free cake.

And my mom is the Relief Society president in that ward.

It should be fun.
I had another conformation that going on a mission is definitely what I am supposed to be doing right now.
I am glad I received that.
It's not necessarily that I was doubting but there are certain distractions that keep popping up.
But now I know where those distractions are coming from and I need to face front and keep plugging along.
I just wish November/December would quit taking their merry sweet time getting here.
I'm ready to go!!!
The more I talk about my mission to friends and family the more the reality that I AM LEAVING comes to view.
I AM LEAVING.
I will be gone.
For 18 months.
On Shelbi's birthday I wanted to take pictures with her because I won't be here for her next couple of birthdays.
I joked that I almost feel like I'm dying.
Like this is THE LAST TIME I'LL SEE YOU EVER.
But it's not.
I think it's good to soak up everything that's happening but I'm coming back.
It's just weird.
I'm sure it will become more weird the closer I get to it.
Homesick already and I haven't even left yet!
Well, I am so glad to be feeling back to normal now.

I hope everyone is having a GREAT day!

"Walk with integrity; in storm and sunshine, be faithful; in richness or poverty, be faithful; in youth or old age, be faithful. Hold out until the end and God will bless you and crown your days with sweetness, and peace, and love." -Gordon B. Hinckley. 

Rainy Monday

I hope that Heavenly Father has some mercy on me and has me go somewhere sunny on my mission.

I don't do well with this cloudy, rainy weather. 

All I want to do is curl up on the couch with a book or watch a movie.

I don't think that will go over real well on a mission ;).

I started to feel more like myself this weekend but now I'm kind of back to a calm, thoughtful, complicated mood.

Little worries and stresses are starting to creep up in my mind.

But I know deep down I have nothing to worry about.

And I have learned there is nothing in this world worth stressing over.

So, I'm trying to keep things in perspective and know that everything will work out the way it's supposed to and in the time it's supposed to.

Glass half full goggles are on ;).

I have another busy week ahead of me.

Which I am glad for.

I like to be busy.

It keeps my mind from wandering to things of unimportance.

It's days like today that I'm so grateful for music.

When I really have nothing to say it speaks for me.

Put a smile on your face and focus on the good things in your life. 

I Believe In Christ, So Come What May

Well, Happy Easter today!

After church we all loaded up to go to Mema and Papa's house!

Mema cooked ham, scalloped potatoes, sweet potatoes, asparagus, pistachio salad, garlic cheese rolls, hot cross buns and deviled eggs.

Then for dessert she made cheesecake. 

My Mema is a rock star.

It was so good.

Throughout this weekend I've tried to remember what we are celebrating.

With keeping that mind set it was a special weekend for me.

I reflected back to what took place these past three days.

I am so grateful for the sacrifice that was made for me.

The Atonement has played a huge role in my life here lately and I am so grateful for the changes I've been able to make as a person because of it.

His Sacred Name-An Easter Declaration.

I love this video.

It really touches me.

With preparing for my mission I have grown so much closer to my Savior. 

I know that He lives.

I love my Savior.

I'm grateful for this Easter weekend to be reminded even more of all He has done for me.

He has truly molded me into the person I am today.

Through Him I have found my worth and see myself through new eyes.

"HE IS NOT HERE: FOR HE IS RISEN." 

Matthew 28:6.

Good Friday

Ok, I was watching Teen Mom on MTV while I ate my lunch and every time I watch that show I fall in love with my life again.

I'm glad I don't have to deal with everything those ladies do.

That would be rough.

I have had some eye opening experiences the past couple days.

I'm not quite to the point yet where I can write about them on here.

It's just provoked my mind to look at the positive things in my life.

So, today I am going to list the things I am grateful for.

I am grateful for sunshine. It was supposed to be cloudy today but the sun couldn't be shining any brighter. Heavenly Father knew I needed some sunshine and I believe He watches out for us individually like that.

I am grateful for GOOD MUSIC. Jack Johnson station on Pandora was killing it this morning. 

I am grateful for my family. They seriously are everything to me. 

I am grateful for the friends I do have.

I am grateful for this Good Friday and Easter weekend.

I am grateful for my Savior and friend, Jesus Christ.

I am grateful for the sacrifice He made that we are remembering this weekend.

I am grateful for the example He set for facing hard trials of not our own will be done but the Father's will.

I am grateful for the ability to run.
I am grateful for people who make me laugh.

I am grateful for ladybugs. It really seems whenever I am feeling lost or down or any negativity I look at the ground and there is a ladybug crawling across. I think it is a reminder of simple beauty and tender mercy. 

I am grateful for Big Gulps.

I am grateful for my job. Not only for monetary purposes but it truly is such a blessing and came at the perfect time. Also, getting the job taught me a great lesson on faith and perseverance.

I am grateful for yoga pants.

I am grateful to drive my car with the windows down and the music up.

I am grateful that I have a very light school schedule this semester.

I am grateful for the hard times because it helps me more easily recognize the good times. 

I am grateful for the sounds of birds chirping.

I am grateful for the opportunity to serve a mission.

I am grateful for my dog. Even though she has lost her mind. She never ceases to make me smile and laugh. Even if I am making fun of her.

I am grateful for the Norman Public Library. I get a lot of work done at that place.

I am grateful for mascara.

I am grateful for smiles from strangers.

I am grateful for the man in his car who stopped to allow me to cross the street while I was running this morning.

I am grateful for the relief of the shade.

I am grateful for books.

I am grateful for the quiet, still moments.

I am grateful that my ward has sister missionaries so I can go out and teach with them.

I am grateful for good food.

I am grateful that Heavenly Father is in charge and not me.

I am grateful for the ability to see the good things I have in my life.

Today, try to count your many blessings and see the good things in your life.

If you look for good you will find good.

Life Suckers

I feel like I have been run over ten times and then kicked.

I want to be so long gone on my mission like.....NOW.

There are certain things in my life that right now that I will NOT MISS AT ALL while I'm out there for 18 months.

I have just noticed that there are certain people in my life who are life suckers.

They suck the life out of everything.

They weigh me down and cause me unnecessary headaches.

Unnecessary tears and restless nights and ZITS because I get so stressed out over them.

Sometimes I wish people would just GROW UP. 

SNAP OUT OF IT.

Stop wasting my time and your life.

Those kind of people that you want to grab them by the shoulders and shake them and say

GET IT TOGETHER!

I'm so sick of seemingly wasted effort on my part to help people.

To be there for them and be a good friend.

It's exhausting.

I feel so selfish saying something like that but BY DANG it's the truth!

But I'm sure you know people like that too.

Man.

This seems like an angry post.

I know this little funk I'm in 'too shall pass'..........I just wish it would HURRY UP!

My Second Graders

HEY!

I just got back from my tutoring sesh that I'm doing for United Way.

It's at an elementary school up in the city.

I have two second graders that I tutor for 30 minutes each.

MY KIDS ARE ADORABLE!

I love them already.

My first student was a boy and I had to take him out of recess.....I felt bad, I would have been so mad if I was being pulled out of recess to go do school work...I'd be like pssssh forget that!

But he was so sweet and stood next to me and just smiled.

He was so cute. I wanted him to be my little brother.

He is so super smart.

I was very impressed.

My next student was a girl.

She had quite the personality.

Before her and I left the classroom her teacher said, "Let me know if she's disrespectful, because she won't be doing this if she is..."

I thought to myself, oh snap.

But she was respectful and she is very smart too.

She read a book about tomatoes to me.

Very informative piece of literature right there.

I'm so excited I get to to this every week until the end of their school year.

I was very nervous going in.

I had no idea what really to expect and I have never tutored anyone before.

But once I got there the people in the front office were super nice.

One of the male teachers was in the office when I walked in and he helped me out a lot.

He should me around and took me to my kids.

I was grateful for that because I had no idea where to go.

I'm so glad I signed up to do this.

It's going to be GREAT!

I will keep this updated with any crazy stories about it.

Today is just an ordinary wonderful beautiful day.

I get to go teaching with the sisters after work this evening so I'm looking forward to that.

Hope everyone is having a good day!

Tristan Prettyman, Love Love Love

This&That

Alrighty.

Today was a productive day.

It's my new goal this week to start using my time more wisely.

It just feels good to get a lot accomplished in a day.

I got up at 6:30 to pray and study my scriptures. I didn't get a chance this morning to do my study with Preach My Gospel so I am going to put that in tonight. I fixed myself a big healthy breakfast so I would have the energy I need to hit up the gym and go running. 

I feel so good when I wake up early and use my time like I did this morning.

Earlier in the semester when I had my Zoology class I wasn't able to be as diligent with my workouts as I usually am so I got out of the habit of it.

Well now that I don't have to worry about that class and I have so much extra time I am getting myself back into the habit. I am also preparing for my 5K's I have coming up in a few weeks. 

Then this afternoon I went up to OCCC to eat lunch with Bethany and Jessica. I love those ladies. Bethany and I have been friends for a little over a year now. We met in a math class and we just clicked and starting eating lunch together. Jessica and her have a class together this semester and Jessica joined us a few weeks ago. I am grateful for them both. I don't have any other girlfriends besides them so it's nice to be around them. I've always gotten along with guys more my whole life so that's usually the majority of my friends but a few times throughout the years I've found some special ladies to be friends with. Today they were teasing me that they always have stories and drama to talk about and that I don't. I just laugh because I really am so drama free these days. I am not dating anyone seriously because I'm leaving on my mission and will be gone for 18 months. I don't hang out with any other girls besides them so I don't have girl drama. I have details and different things that I occupy my time with but with preparing for my mission I have cut out so many things that I am living pretty simple right now. I enjoy listening to them and hearing their stories. I always like to hear people's stories. I find it very interesting. Sorry ladies that I'm so boring! Maybe I'll try to find some drama to put in my life ;).

After that I did some homework because I have been slacking a little in that department. My classes are not demanding at all so it hasn't been a big deal. I just don't want to have everything piled up for the last week of school. 

Then I went to work! There weren't a lot of dogs there today so it was easy and calm.

I had a great weekend.

Friday was Shelbi's birthday.

All of us headed to my grandparent's house in MidWest city for steak and shrimp, yummm yum ;).

It was a good time spent with family.

Saturday I was able to spend some quality time with a friend of mine.

We ate lunch at Tea Cafe. That place is crazy good, I love the h2o delights.

Then we went to Old Paris Fleamarket.

That place was something else.

If they didn't have it, you didn't need it.

It was cool to me to see the different walks of life of people there and the million things that were being sold.

I swear, up in the city is a cooooompletely different world than Norman.

I love it.

After that we went to Penn Square Mall.

Then to Furr's for dinner. (Love that place).

Then for a walk around campus.

Then to his house, where we crashed and fell asleep.

It was a jam packed day. Super fun though.

I got home way earlier than I usually do. I was pretty proud of myself.

Sunday was the usual church in the morning.

One of the members of my bishopric gave me the movie Errand of Angels.

I have been wanting to see that movie for a very long time.

It's about a sister missionary serving in Austria and the different lessons she learns while on her mission.

I was so grateful that he gave that to me.

I have had so much support from my bishopric with my decision to serve a mission.

I have received so many things and so much encouragement.

It's been great.

I watched the movie with my family when I got home.

It was a great story.

I am anxious to see what kind of companions I get.

I hope none of them are too crazy ;).

I worked on my mission paper work some more.

It's still so crazy that it's really happening.

I'm stoked.

Although I had a disappointing moment that evening I was grateful for the lesson I learned because of it.

Sunday is becoming my favorite day of the week.

Something I haven't posted about is my sister and I had another cake order two weekends ago.

It was my first time making a cake from scratch so that was interesting.

The little boy is going through a big military phase right now so the icing was camo colors.

Shelbi and I took the cake up to Choctaw and the lady put a tank and little army men on it.

Unfortunately I didn't a picture of the finished product but it was really cute.

I ended my day with my parents eating fish tacos out on the back patio.

Then a quick walk around our neighborhood. 

I love days like today.

Life Lesson In 3 Days

This Gospel is true.

Let me tell you a story.....

I'll start about two seconds ago.

I was about to start this post and I had a scripture I wanted to start it with.

My scriptures fell open to1 Nephi 20:10 and it was highlighted,

"For, behold, I have refined thee, I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction."

Let me back up about ten seconds before that.

I'm sitting on my bed with tears streaming down my face because I just had yet another disappointment.

A friend of mine who has become inactive since joining the church gave me some disappointing news.

That verse was not the one I was looking for but it was what I needed to read at that moment.

Okay now let me back up about three days to Wednesday night.

I come home from my mission prep class and walk into my parent's bedroom where my dad is ironing.

I break down right there.

My mom wasn't in the room at the time so my poor dad is standing there, iron in hand, eyes wide open with me with tears streaming down my face.

I say, "I feel so worthless every time I leave that class!"

I explained how every time I leave my mission prep class it makes me feel so unprepared for my mission.

I know I have a testimony of this Gospel.

I have a strong desire to serve.

But when it's put right in front of my face like in that class it's really intimidating to me.

My dad made a comparison of when you first walk into a chemistry class they don't expect you to be a chemist.

Same with mission prep.

We shared some other thoughts and I felt a lot better when I went to sleep.

Well, ever since that night I have been fighting a war.

I have had this heavy, unhappy, overwhelming feeling around me.

I know where it's coming from.

I know who is placing these doubts in my mind.

I know who is haunting me with past mistakes, filling my heart with regret.

I know who is trying to plant the seed of insecurity and selfishness.

What else I know is who believes in me.

I know who through I can do all things.

I know who gives me daily breath.

I know who suffered and died for me so that I can be redeemed of my sins and past mistakes.

I know who can fill in the empty spaces others leave behind.

I have been given this opportunity to serve.

Like the scripture, "For behold, I have refined thee. I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction."

I know I have been chosen to serve a mission.

I have felt it in my heart.

Events that have led up to me deciding to serve show me more and more how this is the path I am to take at this time.

If Heavenly Father didn't think I could do it, He wouldn't have called me to the work.

Each day He is refining me more and more so I can better feed His sheep.

I am so humbled and grateful that He has entrusted me with this.

During General Conference Paul V. Johnson said,

“The furnace of affliction helps purify even the very best of Saints by burning away the dross in their lives and leaving behind pure gold…A pattern in the scriptures and in life shows that many times the darkest, most dangerous tests immediately precede remarkable events and tremendous growth…Many times a particular challenge helps prepare us for something vitally important…”

I am not perfect. I have quite a bit of refining left to do. 

But one of the reasons why I am so grateful and so excited about serving a mission is the refining that will take place. 

The dross in my life will be burned away.

I know I will face many trials these next few months as my time gets closer.

But like what Paul V. Johnson said, these particular challenges will help prepare me for something vitally important. 

For me right now, that means my mission.

Another thing he said is (along the lines of) "We cannot resent the things that help us put on the divine nature..."

A few years ago I would have sunk into despair and cried why me with the challenges I'm facing.

But now I say bring it on.

It only motivates me to be proactive. Take action.

We are that we may "act for [ourselves] and not to be acted upon." 2 Nephi 2:26

We have our agency to decide how to react to life's bumps and swerves.

We can either turn away from Christ and become bitter.

Or we can choose to taste the sweet and allow ourselves the chance to grow and be turned to gold.

"For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things..." 2 Nephi 2:11.

So, if there is to be opposition in all things I think it would be better endured with a positive attitude.

These past few days have shaken me and called me to greater action and purpose.

Another scripture in 2 Nephi 4:26-30 says,

O then, if I have seen so great things, if the Lord in his condescension unto the children of men hath visited men in so much mercy, why should my heart weep and my soul linger in the valley of sorrow, and my flesh waste away, and my strength slacken, because of mine afflictions?

And why should I yield to sin, because of my flesh? Yea, why should I give way to temptations, that the evil one have place in my heart to destroy my peace and afflict my soul? Why am I angry because of mine enemy?

Awake, my soul! No longer droop in sin. Rejoice, O my heart, and give place no more for the enemy of my soul.

Do not anger again because of mine enemies. Do not slacken my strength because of mine afflictions. Rejoice, O my heart, and cry unto the Lord, and say: O Lord, I will praise thee forever; yea, my soul will rejoice in thee, my God, and the rock of my salvation.

This is one of my favorite scriptures.

I think to myself, yea, why should I yield to sin because of my flesh? Why should my heart weep because of my afflictions?

I have seen the work of Heavenly Father in my life.

Me going on a mission is proof of that.

He works in mysterious ways and what we think of as awful trials are sometimes blessings.

We may be headed down a path that isn't quite where we should be.

It doesn't always have to be a bad path, it's just not the right one.

To change our course sometimes trials are passed our way.

I know I have experienced this course correction multiple times even from a year ago.

Before I thought of a mission I was planning on getting married.

I was with the one I thought I was going to spend the rest of eternity with.

That wasn't where I was supposed to be.

Through painful, painful challenges and trials and lessons I am where I am today.

And I am grateful.

I think I can say I would not change a thing.

My heart has been softened and I have been thrown into the depths of humility and faith.

But I really learned how to trust Heavenly Father.

I learned how to endure with patience.

I learned that He does hear our prayers.

He does answer them.

It's not always when we think we need it or with what we think we want but he answers them when He knows we need it and with what He wants.

I have learned to be grateful that He is in charge and not me.

I know trials are not going to stop.

We came here to progress so that is what we should expect to be doing.

Trials may not get easier but enduring through them will. 

I told my parents when we were talking Wednesday night that missionary work is not for sissy's.

I told my friend this same thing and he said, "It may be for sissy's but it turns those sissy's into strong people."

I think life is not for sissy's.

There are some crazy tough things out there.

I am so grateful for my faith and my relationship with my Heavenly Father and Savior, Jesus Christ.

I wouldn't make without them.

MAN

I have never had that experience of my scriptures just flipping open to some verse I needed to read at that time.

That just makes my testimony grow even more.

This Gospel is true.

I know it is.

I could never deny it.

Mission Papers!

I have to say something about this or I am going to pop!

I have officially started my mission papers!!!!!!!!

I had tears in my eyes filling out the first little bit.

I feel so blessed to have this opportunity to serve the Lord for 18 months.

I have so much to blog about but I will have to do it later.

I just wanted to share that little bit with you!

Happy Birthday Sister!

 Today is my sister's birthday!

I feel like I have been blessed with an incredible sister.

I remember us playing in the backyard together.

We would pretend we were cowboys and our bikes were horses, and we would put red marker on the trees as Indian blood. (We were kinda weird).

I remember us (mostly me) running around the house on our knees pretending to be dogs.

I remember her listening to Jimmy Buffet on her portable cd player and mumbling/singing the words...and not realizing she was doing it out loud.

I remember her trying to learn how to raise just one eyebrow and one night we were at a restaurant and she was 'practicing' and the waiter was like..."Is she ok?".

I remember making up different games on our trampoline.

I remember going to all her basketball games and having no idea what was going on.

I remember using her makeup before I was allowed to.

I remember her driving me to school when I was in middle school because I didn't want to ride the bus.

I remember as we both got older we kind of did our own things.

I remember when she graduated High School.

I remember driving together with Dixie when we moved back to Oklahoma. 

I remember as we got even older we came back together.

I remember when I bought a dress that was immodest her telling me that I shouldn't wear something like that. And that I need to be careful of what kind of guy I want to attract.

I remember using her laptop without permission.

I remember using her cds without permission.

I remember using her purses, jewelery and shoes without permission.

I remember when she moved out for the first time. 

I remember when I would go over to her apartment for homework help.

I remember when she moved back in.

I remember when she started dating John.

I remember when her and John went to California to see his family. I found out that he was actually going to propose to her. That was a weird feeling.

I remember all the planning of the wedding. -How could you forget?

I remember her wedding day. 

I remember that John left her at the temple to go to where his grandparents were staying ;)...sorry just had to say that...luckily it was just across the street so it wasn't too big of a deal.

I remember how happy and beautiful she looked that day. She had finally found her prince.
I remember when she took me to Dallas to see Britney Spears for my 19th birthday.

I remember when she graduated college.

I remember the countless times I have hung out with her and John. They embrace me and are so kind to let to go over to their place.

I remember the many talks she and I have had.

I remember each day how grateful I am for the relationship I now have with my sister.

"If you don't understand how a woman could both love her sister dearly and want to wring her neck at the same time, then you were probably an only child."  -Linda Sunshine

Happy Birthday Shelbi!!

Come What May, & Love It

Today I am...happy. 

Very happy. 

I am so blessed. 

Very stinkin blessed. 

I talked to my bishop to get the information I needed to start my mission papers. I will have all that up and running in a couple days. 

The only thing I could think of while I was talking to him is how incredibly blessed I am.

I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to serve.

I feel so blessed that through Christ I was able to change my life around so I can serve.

When I was driving home I just smiled. 

I flipped through my music on my Zune to find the song Good Life by OneRepublic and I turned it up and tears filled my eyes. 

To me, I am living the good life. 

My heart is so full of love I think it might explode. 

I can't say it enough how HAPPY I am.

Every day isn't filled with sunshine and butterflies.

I still face challenges and have hurdles I haven't crossed over yet but I am still happy.

I know I am happy because I choose to be. 

I choose to see the blessings and the good surrounding me.

There is so much good in this life if we choose to see it.

Even in the darkest times or places there is beauty.

I haven't always been the happiest person. 

I posted a few days ago how I have experienced a lot of heartache, pain and disappointment throughout my life. 

And that is true.

I have changed my attitude though.

I have learned to live by the phrase, "Come what may, and love it."

Adversity is just a part of life.

It's not going to go away so we might as well make the best of it.

Instead of complaining or blaming others for our troubles we could look for the lesson to be learned.

I have found that doing so has made it easier to move passed the trial and move forward with my life.

I suspect the next few months as time moves closer for me to leave I will face many many many trials. 

And when I'm out on my mission I know trials will come.

But I can see how blessed I am and that out shines any dark corner I may be pushed into. 

These days I sometimes catch myself just smiling.

Whether I'm walking around or sitting somewhere.

How cool is that?

Even just a year ago I wouldn't be able to say that.

I have changed so much and I am so grateful.

The events that have taken place to get me where I am were so perfect in their happening.

Although it was tough in the moment, looking back I am so glad I was shoved into so many unfamiliar situations.

I have grown tremendously because of it.

Folks, I know I have said it a million times and I will say it a million times more,

I am so blessed.

I am so happy.

This life is amazing.

I know it will only continue to grow more amazing.

I'm going to leave you with a neat video to watch.

It kind of goes with my theme of choosing to be happy and seeing the good in life.

Enjoy :)

 

Finally Friday

I am just a cooking machine today!

My sister and I have another cake order so I was in charge of baking since Shelbi had to work this morning.

I am also cooking dinner for the sister missionaries. I have to work this afternoon so I am making everything ahead of time so I can just drop it off when I get off.

Busy busy morning.

So yesterday evening my dad noticed that my car had a big scrape by my rear driver side tire.

I had no idea that had even happened.

My car has some serious haters out there.

It has been so beat up ever since I got it.

Luckily we've been able to get most of the damage fixed before, but it is NOT cheap!

It's really frustrating to me. 

It bothers me that someone would hit somebody else's car and not leave a note or anything.

So dishonest.

Since I am trying these days to see others through Christ's eyes, when my dad brought it to my attention I just smiled and sarcastically said, "One of God's children did that..."

I had to laugh and make a joke of it because I was so frustrated that my car AGAIN had been beat up.

ANYWAYS

It's the weekend and it's going to be a great one.

And do me favor...if you hit somebody's car, LEAVE A NOTE!
