- i was sat in the class tonight thinking as i always do, i probably never say anything because im in sheer fascination at the example from the scriptures and especially tonight, how Joseph Smith coped getting surgery on his leg with no pain relief, basically being prised apart, and we discussed that we dont go through hard things in our life for nothing, we need things to try us and thats essential for our growth, man i dont think i could do what he did! it truly was a miricle, i loved how Brother Rickford taught, it really hit me personally, would i be so valiant?...
- ...i was also thinking how hard some descisions are in our lives, not between good or bad but good and better. as in for our education, our career path and our progression, the most thing that needs to happen is to follow the spirits promptings and also be obedient to what the Lord desires for us, sometimes that can be the most unrealistic goal, or something you couldnt do your naturla self. i think even if others tell you your silly for the choice you have made, if you are meant to go there will be a way prepared for you! i think myself especially faith, obedience and nourishing my testimony need to be deepened to carry out my quest...
- ...alot of these thoughts have been circulating my mind recently, like trying to make the best of what you can do in your own circle of influence, being the best you can - service, charity, love and deepened understanding for those arround us. maybe im being too random. but i know i need to trust in my own nature and my self to be able to do the best i can do right now! and thats what is important, WOW alot from that lesson its always nice to ponder on these things everyone should BLOG on how they liked the lesson!

Supporting the Family!
This weekend was really important for both my friends and family for me to support, i got given a topic to speak on next sunday and so its prompted me to think furthur on what im going to be speaking on, Honoring my father, but i also likened it while thinking about my whole family, all i can say is what we always have done together is SUPPORT one another we havnt boasted or tried to put our place above the other, when ever we have been there for each other! My Dad asked me to help him out with the Seminary Graduation as he was catering, i knew he was really nervous so i wanted to help in everyway i could, so yeah we got loads of people in my family to help, extended less active and close friends, we all got stuck in! i am realy grateful for good example of the DOERS! not the thinkers not the ones who talk alot, they DO "action is a verb, ITS DOING SOMETHING!" i always remember that, its a very special motto for me! but yeah i wanted to write that, so wish me luck on my talk next week! i should be fine :) Thanks for the complements chris your ACE!
- Watch out for the Seminary Graduation photos! it was fun i graduated twice what a priveledge!

What in the HECK is that?....
while i was travelling in america i had the rare opportunity to experienc a REAL mosquito bite multiple times on my leg, WELL! i was laying in my inflated bed at my brothers and was like ARGH ive been attacked! if anyone has ever experienced one im sure you know how im feeling! but yeah my brother was like jumping over his couch saying lay still and he scraped an 'X' into each of the huge holes in my calf, this memory was not to be forgotten, as i was screeching in pain, but you know what IT WORKED, i had them scab over really fast. why ive shared that with you i will never know. but i also know that you have to be prepared for foreign objects or animals you have never encountered, me being silly as i am thought it was like a snake bite or something to that nature, i think my point is, you never know whats out there so you have to be prepared to encounter these things in you life, not just insects...i mean in a spiritual sense too, i know there are Anti-mormons and those who would love to send us packing as member of the church, but i know that we can be prepared for anything nasty if we armour ourselves with our prayers reading our scriptures and attending church, if we know the truth and have a firm testimony of it, no one no where will be able to take that away from us! :)

The Beauty of a Holy Place....
....i got the priveledge to walk arround the temple yesterday, and it was an unusual day because the mower men where out doing the lawns and others doing the flowers, from week to week i noticed as im going there alot these days there are different features practically all the time i go, maybe in the gardens, maybe next to the temple, or near the distribution, all of it is beautiful. i was also thinking how the temples always seem timeless that you dont need to do anything for its beauty to suceed, but it was actually really nice for me to realise even the temple needs constant care and attention (like us all) to retain its beauty and sacredness. It was really wonderful to be able to experience that, i also thought that to have peace it doesnt need to be quiet, as long as your doing things that are right - peace is something you feel when your busy too! so thats my lil piece for you today :) hope you liked it....

Questions and Answers!
I'm sat here now just wanting to type away so i thought id answer some questions some of you that have been asking!
- Why the name Glamazon? well let me see once upon a time A VERY LONG TIME!! i used to watch a programme called POPULAR the chearleaders where called "the GLAMAZONS" no the word hasnt been deprived from my own imagination(or saying i am GLAMOUR", although i thought about the show and the girl's character, who is like me in ways she was the unpopular girl - the friend to all, but she strived to become a Glamazon not because she would be popular but because she wanted to improve and in the end SHE GOT IT, she kept going until she got her dream, and even made it being the home coming queen, now im not saying i want to be in that situation. But her DETERMINATION is what got me. And what i try to emulate SO THERES YOUR ANSWER :D
- Why dont you sing solo? OK the short answer is because im not too good with a microphone and crowds secondly, i think theres many more people who have a beautiful voice than me! ever since i was little my voice just choaks when i am infront of loads of people, thats why i am in choir because i feel supported, and in unity.
- Whats the thing that REALLY annoys you? ill spell it out I.G.N.O.R.A.N.C.E. you walk in a room you say hello, and people just look at you like an alien, do i do that to others no I DONT THINK SO, at least i hope not, im not being cheesy but i like to be friends with everyone, and when you are ignored it HURTS! so there you have it...
- Do you want to do photography as a Career? YES i do, but i want to include that with digital imaging which also consists of web designing, but i have to go to college/uni to do that...watch this space lol!
- Whats the best thing you do as a ward missionary? you know what? i love the whole thing, getting to meet new people, teaching them the gospel, working with the missionaries. i have to say overall though, its when i see progress. i have been in many appointments where the investigator is really interested and they have learned so much and you can see they are making the change in their hearts, thats the BEST thing! SO WONDERFUL TO SEE!
- Who do you admire the most/your role models? i HAVE to start with my mum her love and support for me is tremendous! i have her to thank for alot on my life - my friend mark because he has been there 24/7 to listen to me go on and waffle, to help me sort my problems out HES FANTASTIC! my friends who all support me, lindsay, vikki, sarah d, ally, hayden, chris, laura, charlene, Andrew P, larissa, and Sara K. I am so thank ful for you all, who needs to follow celebrities when you have stars in your midst? im thankful for my dad and adopted dads Jeff and George and Rob who have shown me who i am, gave me encourage ment and have been sterling examples for me in my life! Elder and Sister Francom who have just BEEN THERE, given me so much love and support, i dont know where i would be without all these people, and if i left you out I STILL LOVE YA!
- What would you most like to take photos of? i would like to do waterfalls, periodical photos, and babies (because i havnt covered them yet) but yeah definately those :)
Well there you go there all i can think of right now! so ask me more and ill tell you :D LV ME
