The Climb

This song means so much to me. I have gone through so many trials, and these lyrics for me go through the process of getting through trials. I wanted to share the music video and lyrics with everyone so you can listen and understand what I hear. Trials can be really hard to go through, but it is the process that makes us stronger. It's the climb.


I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreaming but
There's a voice inside my head sayin,
You'll never reach it,
Every step I'm taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I
Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm gonna to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing,
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down but
No I'm not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I,
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on, cause

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm gonna to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb (yeah)

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb (yeah yeah ea ea)

Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith baby
It's all about
It's all about
The climb
Keep the faith
Keep your faith

Whoa a oh oh

Patriarchial Blessing

I received my patriarchial blessing on Sunday, and it quickly came today. It is the most amazing thing I have ever read. The Spirit is so strong in my blessing, and the amazing thing is I am the only one who has this blessing. There are others who receive their blessings, but mine is one of a kind. When I first listened to the words that were said there were certain things that stuck out, and today different things are sticking out. I am so blessed to have this guide in my life, and I need to stay strong in order for me to receive the blessings.

I am a convert. I was baptized when I was 17 years old, and I always wanted to get my patriarchial blessing. It wasn't until just recently that I felt that I was finally ready to have it. I have gone through many trials in the past, but they have only made me stronger, and going through these trials has brought me closer to my Father in Heaven. I am feeling so fantastic right now. It's almost a high having all of these opportunities for me, and it is truly special to me. Dustin went to the Patriarch's house with me, but he sat in the living room. I am glad he was willing to go since we have been separated for over two months. It meant a lot to me, and it made it that much more special.
