In ARP I learned that hope stands for:
H: Hold
O: on
P: pain
E: ends
Thankfully, I know this to be true because of my Savior Jesus Christ.

Eatting an Elephant
I am learning what it means to take it "one bite at a time." Of course, life teaches me this lesson in multiple ways:
My most recent experience was when my pa told me to come with him to help my sister clean up her spring cleaning debris from pruning her trees and then again to help with her basement remodel project. CHAMPION Thx my Maymers(My nickname for Amy) for more than one opportunity to give back. You're always around to help me. I was frustrated that I could only do it one hand-full at a time and everyone kept raking more of it to me to pick up and put into a garbage can to be thrown in the green waste trailer that they'd rented, but I kept working, even when my 3 year old nephew, Bryce, asked me, "Why are you helping us?"
I continue to get taught this lesson. Something about a "Soul Echo?" Other "elephants" that I continue to "eat:"
-I want to back to school for a Masters Degree in either Speech and/or Spanish.I love learning and working one-on-one with kids, but I'll need to take the GRE to get into a program . . .
_I'm in a 100 mile challenge with my twin bro, Matt; his miles are running and mine are on a reccumbant bike. The first one to the goal, buys Cafe Rio for the other. So, either way I win.
-I told my therapists at Neuroworx that I wanted to do a double or nothing no matter who wins the 100 mile challenge and do a challenge of 200 push ups and pull ups. They're CHAMPION excited and are helping me do modified push-ups and pull-ups, but when I first told my President Pa Baugh about this, he said, "Let's see if you can do one first." Oh, ye of little faith.
-Weekly ARP Meetings
-My "Dailys" of prayers, scripture study and recently added journal entries.
-Weekly temple attendance(I've got two weeks under my belt and love the focus of the "Lord's University" gives me.
-Doing stairs at my parent's one foot on every step instead of stepping on every stair with both feet. It actually feels like i get some where now.
