If You Could Hie to Kolob

Hymn #284

1. If you could hie to Kolob

In the twinkling of an eye,
And then continue onward
With that same speed to fly,
Do you think that you could ever,
Through all eternity,
Find out the generation
Where Gods began to be?

2. Or see the grand beginning,
Where space did not extend?
Or view the last creation,
Where Gods and matter end?
Methinks the Spirit whispers,
“No man has found ‘pure space,’
Nor seen the outside curtains,
Where nothing has a place.”

3. The works of God continue,
And worlds and lives abound;
Improvement and progression
Have one eternal round.
There is no end to matter;
There is no end to space;
There is no end to spirit;
There is no end to race.

4. There is no end to virtue;
There is no end to might;
There is no end to wisdom;
There is no end to light.
There is no end to union;
There is no end to youth;
There is no end to priesthood;
There is no end to truth.

5. There is no end to glory;
There is no end to love;
There is no end to being;
There is no death above.
There is no end to glory;
There is no end to love;
There is no end to being;
There is no death above.

Hymns always comfort me. <3

I'm struggling. REALLY struggling.

Let the Adventures Begin!

• School ends on May 30th. WOW! I will be a senior next year. It came so fast!
• Trek on June 7-9th. I haven't been on a trek yet but I am getting really excited! I look forward to the trials and challenges to come; I hope to gain a feel for what the pioneers went through as they came to Utah.
• Summer School: I am taking Government over the summer to get that out of the way for my senior year. Even though it means waking up early again for school, I really don't have a problem with it. It's a huge blessing, actually, to be able to get ahead in my credits.
• Summer Job: It's time to get a job. Yep, my first job. I haven't decided where I would want to work yet, but a couple of my options are Target, Barnes & Noble, Macey's, and Shoe Carnival. There are a lot of possibilities! I need to start picking up those applications!
• Senior Year: last year of high school!! My classes are sign language, ballroom technique (again), biotech, medical anatomy, advanced health science 3, seminary, photography, commercial art, sociology and computer tech. Hopefully I will make Ballroom Co. this year!
• Baptism: On September 29 (most likely this day) I will be baptized and become a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints! As of today, there are 128 days left. I am so excited for my baptism! :') I think this is the best 18th birthday present EVER!
• College: after high school I want to attend BYU. This is motivation to work really hard my senior year. I have a goal to graduate with a 4.0 GPA. It is really hard to get into BYU Provo when you live here in Utah. It isn't an advantage that my mom works there, but I do get half tuition to either BYU Provo or Idaho.

Life will take me where it will, but I know that Heavenly Father will always be there by my side. He will never abandon me and I am committed to live my life according to His will. I don't know where I will end up exactly... but I can plan and do my part to make choices for my future. I want to give my future family all that they deserve - I want to be my very best self. Life is waiting for me! Carpe diem!

Tomorrow night is the solar eclipse! I am so excited to go see it!

Indexing

For mutual a while back we learned how to index. I LOVED doing it then and I LOVE doing it now! I haven't done it since the mutual activity (which has been quite a while) and yesterday I decided to try it out again. So far so good! It's a lot of fun, I really like it! :)
