Well today I realized a few things.  -Who is really there for me -That you have to pray with real intent when you are having problems and need help -my Sunday school/yw teachers are seriously inspired!  I had the best lessons today totally given for me. I have had a hard week having problems with my friends and such, it's been hard but I realize my family is there for me no matter how much we fight when I have someone they are there.  But in class today and even in sacrament meeting with the cute RM that spoke the message was pray when you need help, when your having trouble, and when you're deciding something big. When it is something good and good you may not always get a for sure answer because both will help you and right now that's my issue.  I am choosing between corner canyon and alta and to all you seniors who had to choose between colleges I feel ya. It's hard! I am leaning more towards corner canyon because I have been talking to the principal and she tells...

this post is a huge shout out to avery smith.  (i hope this isn't weird i just felt prompted, and its my blog so what the heck i'll do it) as this avery smith over at  www.swedishboi.blogspot.com   honestly i barely know this kid. but i do know: -he is going to sweden on his mission -he plays soccer  =he is team captain @ Alta -he broke his foot -he is amazing i could easily see him as a future prophet, he is so amazing! i asked him to wear a shirt for me for SBO but he didn't get the message in time but instead he responds with a 5 page message telling me to keep my head up and its all going to be okay. honesly, it made me cry. mainly because 1 it was coming from Avery Smith one of the coolest kids at alta and 2 i could tell he actually meant it. he created a blog that i have read and honestly its amazing. his future wife is so lucky and everyone who he will serve on his mission is lucky! He is so in tune with the spirit and he spreads it ev...

You know how I have tried my best to be apart of something at alta high school. Well now I am getting the feeling it's not for me. This past month and a half have been the hardest but have strengthened me so much!  I didn't make SBO or try out for cheer because they compete on Sunday but I had to go to inauguration to support them even though I cried the whole time I'm glad I went to support everyone who did make it! For senior class president I am so glad to be able to help out the other candidates cause they are amazing people and deserve the world!  For senator I am so happy for the three who made it, it was the worst interview of my life cause I was on medicine and it was first period but there is a reason it went wrong!  And now PLT I am still confused about a few things and honestly I am mad at a few things too but none the less I support everyone who made the team they will be amazing as always and I love them all they are great people and deserve the world!  ...

so as most of you know i didn't make senator, thanks ben for delivering my candy and letter! I am so sad because my Alta Student Government dreams are officially terminated. But guess what! Although my #1 and #2 dreams for high school havent come true my dream of PLT still has a light at the end of the tunnel. so does my hope of traveling to India with YMAD. we find out this weekened and i am freaking out, Eden please send out the letters ASAP cause i might have a heart attack!! Dreams: -Cheer -SBO -Senior Pres. -Senator -PLT -India i haven't given up yet on doing something in highschool! i am determined and honestly nothing is going to stop me from reaching my goals. I have learned patience, perserverance and dedication. And now i know who I really am, i know my voice and its a voice of pain and victory. I am Jordyn Standage and nothing will change that.  we all have lists and god has one too. He has crossed 4 things off my list that i obviously wasn't meant ...

Sometimes I get a bloody nose... Ahh who am I kidding I always  get them and its terrible! So yesterday I finally went to the doctors and hallelujah they saw that all the blood vessels in my nose are exposed and the slightest thing can set off a bloody nose. So my doctor gave me meds and I want to get better faster so I sprayed some in my nose and what did that do? It made one of the worst ones I've had start! It's a joke I have now had 13 bloody noses since the 29th of April all lasting over an hour. That is a lot and its the worst. Because after I feel lightheaded and get the worst head aches. Like right now I am just Chillin on my bed cause when I get up its like my eyes go black for a second and it's instant pain.. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy!  Well lookin up we find out about senator tomorrow (I am so sad cause I really don't think I have a good chance cause I was so out of it in my interview I couldn't even remember what the question was so I ju...

i've been slacking with my sunday posts i am sorry!! but i just want you all to go read the Stripling Warrior story in Alma, it has got to be my favorite story of all time. I just love it and hope that my husband has enough faith that he can do anything. I mean they all get wounded multiple times but not one died. Its just like in our life we all go through multiple trials but in the end none of us will die because of them. we have the strength from heavenly father and we need to go to him in anytime of need. I know i have this week. Thanks to Rachel, she texted me a few scriptures that are some of my favorite ones now! thanks Rachey!  Scriptures: Alma 56:47, Alma 53:18-21, Alma 53:20, Alma 57:21, Alma 56:45-48 these are a few one liners i really loved from todays lessons; we wouldn't feel joy if we didn't feel hardship. the traits of the stripling warriors didn't change before and after battle they were just strengthened. when we act with faith in god he be...

this week was the longest week ever. from senior class elections, YMAD interviews, PLT interviews, 9 bloody noses, Iron Man 3, baseball games, to my uncles graduation. Its been a mad house this week and i am so excited for it to be over.  Senior class. i didn't make it, but slowly i am getting over that fact. YMAD: my interview went amazing i think and i can't wait to hear from them. PLT: i think my interview went amazing. i mean i did do a one man reenactment of katniss, peeta and the dogs on the cornucopia and if i say so myself it was pretty amazing!  9 bloody noses: my mom still hasn't taken me to the doctors...so idk what to say about this one except i am so done having them. Iron Man 3: we went to see it Thursday with Ry, Spence, Can, Ash, Jake, Josh, Me, Sarah and Powell. it was amazing other than the fact i got a bloody nose as soon as it ended. baseball games: my brothers baseball game last night was the longest thing of my life. and does an...
