LeaMay Hunt Jones.
LeaMay is 92 years old, soon to be 93 on May 15th. She is the wife to Jesse Jones, mother of 7 children, grandmother of 35 grandchildren, and great-grandmother to 106 great-grandchildren. She's from Enterprise, Ut. In her youth she ran leg races, no one, boy or girl, could ever beat her. She loves riding horses, "there aint nothing better" in her words. Her favorite color is red. She loves pine nuts and pumpkin pie. She loves to dance, when her husband was alive they would go dancing every weekend where they would dance 30 dances straight. She loves to tell jokes, and she's the life of any party. First joke she always tells, "what goes up but doesn't come down....your age" LeaMay has a beautiful smile and has a really special spirit. Although she didn't love me at first, she will love me one day! I look forward to getting to know you better, LeaMay!

Life.
I've decided that I want my blog to come directly from my heart. No matter what! Life is about learning new things and sharing them with others, so that's what I want to do. So this will be the good and the bad things I feel...No matter what!
In my spiritual journal I like to take time every Sunday and write about where I am right then. Both physically and spiritually. I found this last week interesting and exciting in the progression and answers I have received that I want to blog about it!
Last Sunday March 20, 2011.....Where am I right now?
"Right now I am sitting in my Ivins college ward. I'm going to college at Dixie state and working at the Pizza Factory Express. I have a wonderful family, and a wonderful boyfriend (Jeff Hauck), and I feel really happy. BUT I know I have so much room for improvement. I make mistakes constantly, but I'm always trying to become better through my Savior. I need my Savior. I need help. I need strength, and humility more than ever. I want to make everyone happy but I feel like that is always going to be impossible.
Why can't what i want and what makes me happy line up with everything and everyone? I'm trying so hard and giving my best, but I know that I can always give more. I feel like I just need a life changing sign or miracle to know what it is I need to do or what direction I need to go. I've always heard that this stage of life was hard, but I NEVER anticipated it being this hard. In a few months I hope to be able to work towards living completely through the Spirit and be able to always recognize the spirit and follow it no matter what! I want to fully rely on the Spirit in every big or small decision I have to make. I want to be an expert at recognizing the prompting and feeling I feel from the Spirit. I know this is an ongoing goal, but...I will reach it!"
Today I feel like I received an answer to this entry in my journal! I'm taking a really special institute class that I take really seriously :) haha well today I was reading through the lesson for this next week and the Spirit testified to me that instead of praying for my load to be lighter and my burden to be lifted, I need to pray for strength. Instead of going into hard situations and thinking "woe is me," I need to ask for strength and make it through. I need to be as so many prophets and ask for strength to overcome, strength to endure, strength to do all things! I was also reminded that the Lord loves me so much and that he is always mindful of me. He wants me to enjoy this life and to reach my full potential and that only I will know that for myself, with His help! I think one of the most important things to remember in this life, is to ENJOY it! This life is my opportunity and privledge to show my love for my Savior and my Lord!
I am soo blessed.
