hope

“wherefore, whoso believeth in God 

might with surety hope for a better world...

which hope cometh of faith, maketh an anchor to the souls of men,

which would make them sure and steadfast.”

i find it fascinating how real the eternities are

i know that sounds weird but that’s the best way i can put it

i’m dumfounded, humbled, in awe and so grateful that this life is not all

that what is (no matter how good it is) is not always what will be

i can’t imagine who i’d be without this knowledge

i know i have weaknesses and that i have a long way to go

but i’m trying and have tried to be “sure and steadfast”

so until i become perfectly sure and steadfast

here’s to 

hope

- this guy -

“Aim high, but do not aim so high that you totally miss the target. 

What really matters is that he will love you, 

that he will respect you, that he will honor you, 

that he will be absolutely true to you, 

that he will give you the freedom of expression 

and let you fly in the development of your own talents. 

He is not going to be perfect, but if he is kind and thoughtful, 

if he knows how to work and earn a living, 

if he is honest and full of faith, 

the chances are you will not go wrong, that you will be immensely happy.” 

- Gordon B. Hinckley

i like that part "that he will give you the freedom of expression

and let you fly in the development of your own talents"

i'm my biggest critic and chase is my biggest supporter

how could i do it without him

this life i mean- 

he is patient and kind

he tells me i'm beautiful and kisses me when i'm sweaty

does the laundry,dishes, and cooking

when i'm cold and tired he picks me up and carries me

finds my warmest sweats

puts on my warmest socks and rubs my feet

tucks me into bed and gives me his blanket

then kisses me and says "i love you"
