what a sunday, nothing is more precious than a good sabbath day. today, was a glorious one. its crazy how sometimes we tend to forget the most important things in life. i think recently ive been caught up in finishing school, and progressing at work and with my boyfriend that i have lost sight of the progress ive had with my savior. for a while i didnt read my scriptures at night, maybe a quick glance at something that made me happy, but no "in dept" reading. i literally lost my temple recommend, like i misplaced it somewhere, and i have nooo idea where it is, im just sad that i lost the first one i ever got, it is so important to me. i guess ill just have to go in and get another one, but it wont be the same as my first one. today i learned about myself, and the things i need to work on so that i can become a better person, and have eternal life. id really love to be with my family for ever. whoever my husband may be, id love to be with him forever!
so last year, the best year of my life so far, i joined the church, all thanks to these four boys to your left. Elder Seitz,Elder Folkersen,Elder Moncayo and Elder Orr. All amazing missionaries to the church, who taught me an immense amount of things about the gospel of Jesus Christ.Im so greatful for their hard work, and dilligence for the gospel,because without them, i would still be stuck in an idealistic world. i dont know if id be as happy as i am today. because im sooo blessed, sooo blessed! im so greatful to be a member of my heavenly fathers church, and to be able to recieve the many blessings he has, and to live worthy of those blessings, even when times are at their toughests, pulling forward in God speed and doing what is right is what i want to be found doing the day he comes again.
Ive been looking back to the things that i have accomplished this year, and boy, did i do good! for the first time ever, i finished all the classes i started with in the semester, so sad but so true!Sending off 3 great friends on missions, and more actually, has probably been the most bittersweet feeling ever. im sooo glad that Karen,Angela,Shatara,Krista,Catina,Stephanie and Ashley all decided to go out and serve the Lord this year, i hope and pray for their well being and progress wherever they may be in the world :)
well, i have to get to bed, its almost 2 and i work at night, thank goodness for naps, or else id already be dead asleep.
always remember who you are
and what you stand for.
let no one take that away.
