About Me

My photo
I am Carlie Gilbert. I just recently graduated from Brigham Young University Hawaii. That's right. I lived in Hawaii, which was a dream and half. Now I'm living in Dallas and teaching Elementary School. I would never call myself a fashionista but I do love thrift store shopping or a good retail sale. So this blog is a glace at some of the outfits I have put together. Enjoy!

Realizations

Girl's camp always brings spiritual realization to me. I'm not sure what exactly it is that does between the hiking, conoeing, eating amazing food, getting spoiled rotten by the cooks, taking naps in air conditions cabins, pranks, staying up late, bug bites, and tick scare, I somehow always grow spiritually.

So I'm sitting at camp thinking about the past year of my life. I don't think I've been through so much trial but so much happiness also. All in this school year my brother has returned from Iraq, my sister had a baby, I discontinued my participation in drill team, I got my heart broken, spent time with friends, and learned so many things about myself. I have a great support team, friends, family, and church leader have been by my side through all of my trails this year, which I don't think I could ever repay them for.

During a class we talked about shutting out Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, which didn't really sink in until I was thinking about my past year and how I've just sort of been going through the motions and not really having a personal relationship with my Heavenly Father. My door is opening now, and my life including my future is in the Lord's hands.
