Check out my website for the full description of this project! http://www.ariannabellephotography.com/blog/2014/12/13/myhardestexperience-project Hey everyone! So after this week of work I decided I wanted to create a project in which people share the story of the hardest experience of their lives. My inspiration for this project was that this past week at work in Wilderness, we had a group of 9 girls, and we decided to run a group so the girls could get to know each other and relate to each other in a new way by sharing the hardest moment of their lives. The outcome was beautiful. As soon as the first story had been shared, they were all quiet, they were all engaged 100 percent in listening to each other, they cried with each other, they comforted each other. They got real, and they got vulnerable. And It made them all see that they aren't alone. It made me feel like I wasn't alone. Share you own story with the hashtag #myhardestexperience  You can record(film) y...

The other day on facebook, I was scrolling along just like I normally do when I am bored and end up clicking the little blue button on my bookmarks. As I was scrolling I noticed a facebook friend posted an article that was in response to a fairly recent youtube video of a young boy named Ryan who happens to be transgender. I had seen the youtube video the day before seeing this friends article which was judging the parents and the child for being transgender. It was hard for me not to want to cuss everyone out for being judgmental assholes for blaming this child's parents and for saying that being transgender is not real. I feel like a lot of people just have no idea what being transgender is, people are not educated about LBGT issues but instead keep themselves uneducated while judging from a stance that they have no prior knowledge about. Here is the post from facebook that I had to comment on. Here is the link to the 7 minute short documentary ...

This Sunday during church this simple statement caught my attention. "Charity Never Faileth". These three words have a lot of power, but first we need to understand what charity is. charity  is the pure  love  of Christ, and it endureth   forever ; and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him. (Moroni 7:47) This scripture says that charity is the pure love of Christ. The Pure Love of Christ. How powerful. How do we have a pure love of Christ? What does that in-tell? From a 1981 General Conference talk by Gordon B. Hinkley he says, " I speak of charity in the sense of  forgiveness , of tolerance of the failings of another, of the smothering of the feelings of jealousy and unkindness toward associates."  So Charity comes in many forms, like forgiveness, tolerance, kindness, and not being jealous of others. Here is another great scripture about Charity, If so, his  a faith  and hope...

That night I slept better then I had in weeks, For the first time in days I hadnt stayed up worrying, crying, and thinking about how bad everything was. That night I felt peacefulness in my soul, I felt at ease.  Six a.m. the following morning I awoke, I awoke to two strangers in my door way, and my parents hiding in the hall behind them. Someone said to get dressed quickly. I did as I was told, I was not afraid of them, even though you would be. There was an older man, and a mid-twenties girl The man was ex-military, either navy or marines  The girl was his daughter.  I guess "kidnapping" was a family business to them. The girl stayed in the room while I got dressed She told me not to bring anything important with me, I did anyways, I brought my engagement ring, the matching necklace, a journal and a pen.  and that was all I had as I walked out my front door never to re...

Everyone needs to find a spouse that will love you as long as this couple, This is true love, This is beautiful, Watch and comment below 

     It's pretty much my dogs birthday this month, so I thought I would write a little something about her.     Dogs aren't called mans best friend for no reason, dogs are one of the only species including humans to use eye contact to communicate and react to "emotions" for example if I am crying or have a sad look in my eyes my dog will seem to copy the look but then kiss me and smile with her eyes. I promise I'm not crazy, but that is what it is like. If I smile then her eyes get bigger and look happier, If I am upset she tries not to make eye contact with me.      I never thought I would love a chihuahua, and although she does have a feisty personality with strangers, she is loving and comforting to me, and to the people she befriends(after a couple of days and lots of treats) She is there for me whenever I need her, and makes me laugh when I'm having a bad day. Dogs are my second favorite animal to the wolf, I mean they are kind of the s...

The dark is closing in, I can feel that familiar tightness in my chest. Its like I'm stuck in the ocean and its pitch black in the night With dark grey clouds covering up the moon casting shadows across my body. The fear is creeping in. Its starting to flame inside, about to rip me apart. Everyone who used to hold me seems to have forgotten me. Everyone I counted on to hold my hand, they won't even think to call or to chat. Their just gone. Gone in the night. My mind starts wandering, going back in time. Recalling all our old memories All the times we made each other laugh and smile. But where have all those times gone? You once told me we wouldn't lose each other. We wouldn't lose each other, Ever. But now your out there, living free and having fun while I am alone, with no one who wants me No one who loves me, At least not the way I need to be loved. I miss you, I need you, I've tried, but you wont respond....

When you are a big part of some ones life the traces of you can never be erased. They are forever en grained in your memories, At night the past flashes back just like a film scenes of the love we both felt for each other. But the closeness we had has vanished We had a deadline that we both knew,  and like that maroon 5 song Daylight those annoying lyrics were true. It hasn't been all that long, but the warmth of our love is gone and now the their are shadows of the past we shared. Sometimes I don't want to remember,  because I don't want to miss you but then I realize I should. You were the reason I smiled and laughed as much as I did You were the best friend that I needed, You were the one person who knew everything and loved me completely. When I rummage through my things the little leaves of paper that you used to write to me fall out The funny notes you passed me, always make me laugh forever will I remember you in math...

Wilderness was a really tough spot for me, and this is something i wrote while i was in wilderness about prayer. I learned that praying really helped me get through though sh*t, I talked to God as if he was right next to me, i told him all my stuggles and frustrations, i cried to him and with him, i asked him directly for help, for hope, for forgiveness, for acceptance, for love and for strength. God was my only friend at the time, he was the only one i felt safe with talking to. I wish we could truly, undeniably know that he exsists and that he loves every single person on earth no matter what. I wish everyone felt his love, and i wish people didnt blame him. Life is life and God doesnt control it, he just puts everything here to see how we handle it. Life is all a matter of choices that we all make on a daily basis, its a test with no real "right" or "wrong" answers. with love, Arianna 

That feeling, Its great,  No one quite understands it but yet everyone wants to feel it Its magical and divine, its awesome and sublime, Its simple yet complex, Its beautiful but sometimes scary No one wants to lose it, 'cuz if they do  they may not re-find it, It takes time to build up into something worth it Its true and pure. That feeling makes your heart want to stop, It makes you want to remember every moment when you can feel it That feeling is love And that feeling is amazing. Cherish every moment with those you love, Time with them may soon come to an end, We'll never know the day their heart stops beating, But don't worry just enjoy that feeling, That feeling will save you when you feel all alone, It'll bring out a smile in the darkness That feeling is Forever  and so are we Love is For Ever with love, Arianna

Recently alot of things have been happening that arent so great, but instead of just getting more and more sad i've started to look at things from a more positive point of view, being happy is a choice, we can either choose to look at things like its the end of the world or just something we have to overcome to get to something better in life. I haven't ever really prayed with intent before but let me tell you a story that really made me know that God is true and real and that he loves all his children. So I have a friend of mine who is actually my best friend and always will be, but they have been going through some really bad stuff lately, their depressed and lost in the world that has been so cold to them. I wish i could just make him believe that it will be okay, but it takes alot of faith to look past all the bad things especially while in the middle of tons of trials hanging over you. But over the last week i have been praying that he will be okay, and that everything w...

It's been a really long time since i've blogged. I dont really know why i havent when i've had alot of free time and i could have. Well Life has been really up and down lately for me, Life is hard and it sucks most of the time but i guess one thing i've learned from all the bad crap that's happened recently is that i just got to move on and see that no matter what happens it will all be okay and even when it doesnt seem like anything will change in the moment it will and it will get better. There is so much good and so much love in the world and so much beauty that i dont understand how i can get so sad and down in the dumps. Micah finally got his 67 mustang!
