Living Water

            Water is the source of all life. It can either give, or take away. Water is not simply just a liquid, it is a living force. It also has many different forms. The power behind water is something that leaves one awestruck. It can destroy cities in a matter of seconds, and if we are not careful at those times, it can destroy us. At the same time that water is powerful, it is also cleansing. We use water to clean our dirty hands, or to take showers. When it rains, the earth is cleansed. Some of our most enjoyable memories/times include water. At the beach, in the rain, on a hike, or during a water gun or balloon fight are some of my most memorable times, and they all include water. Water is a definitely fun to play with. But when it rains and we don’t want to get wet, we enjoy the sound and sometimes stare out the window and watch the rain fall. It gives us a sense of relaxation. Listening to the sound of the waves rolling up on the sand is also very relaxing. The last form of water is sustaining. It sustains life all around us. It is life. We drink it, we water our plants, give water to our pets, and without it life would not be.

            Water is something we simply cannot live without. Everything in this world needs water to survive. But at any given moment, that same life sustaining water can be turned into a form of power and destruction. I am always intrigued with how majestic and wonderful water is in our lives. It also gives great effects for taking such great pictures.

 Fun

All I like to do is have fun. As long as fun is involved with whatever I am doing, I know I will be happy. I know it makes people happy, which makes it all the more worth the while to me to be fun.

 Still

I've chosen the word still because every time we would take pictures as a family or growing up I would constantly be told to hold still. Still means a lot to me as well... Whenever I'm going through a hard time or a stressful time this word brings strength, courage, and surety to my troubled soul. My mind refers to the scripture "be still and know that I am." My mission president used the word still in describing my character. He explained to me that I am deep and still as a lake at dusk. That I am able to be calm and collect through stormy seas and winters blizzards of life. Still is one of my power words and helps me to be able to stand tall with faith.

Blissful

These past few months have been the greatest few months. There seems to be only one word that can describe how i have felt. Blissful. Blissfully happy is how I feel when I am with the love of my life.
