Blessed

I have never written a spiritual thought of anything like this on my blog, but today I'm feeling very blessed and having a spiritual moment. A really good friend of mine is going through radiation for Type 0 breast cancer. She is very blessed to have found the cancer at such an early stage and being about to deal so well with it and realize how blessed she is. I have thought and thought about her and how my attitude towards giving service is. Last night I had a reminder that if I'm asked to do service for others I need to have a more Christ like attitude and not be so of the natural man and have a grudgeful attitude.

Why did I have to find out the reason that someone needed my help before I had the willing attitude. I should have had the willing attitude and if I found out the reason great, but if I never found out the reason then who cares. I should have only had to know that someone, a sister, needed help in the ward and I just do it, NO QUESTIONS ASKED. I was Young Woman's leader for a while, and I know more than anyone people need help and volunteers to carry out callings, obligations, and service. Why did I not put off the natural man and be a better person. I know the answer to my own question.... It is because I wasn't in tune with the spirit and I was being selfish.

I need to pray each morning, pray each night. I need to go back to the basics. What did I learn in Primary? What was the basics? Pray and read. Listen to the still small voice. Why is it the easy things are so hard ? They aren't I just am too worldly and need a nudge from my Heavenly Father every now and then to remember my true purpose. It isn't to have a clean house, good clothes, and perfect life. It is to love my neighbor, love my family and learn of Him.

I am so blessed to live in the USA, have a husband that holds the priesthood, to have a healthy family, to be able to go to school and learn more and become more educated. I'm so blessed with great parents who taught me well, to have parents that care who and what I have become. I have a wonderful extended family as well. Great in-laws and wonderful ward members. Why when I'm so blessed do I take things for granite?

I love my heavenly Father for giving my all I have and for the opportunity to serve those around me. I hope I can remember this lesson in the future and always do good.

Bad decision

So I wax. Do you? What do you wax? Well, I wax my body, well my eyebrows and girly mustache, not those other body parts they do in "Brazil." Any who..... Today was the day. I hadn't waxed in FOREVER and so I decided I'd take a stab at it. I have been doing my own waxing since I got married, I use to live with this wonderful girl, Jamie, and she was a professional, but I got it free. The friendly roommate discount. She did great. She would spend a good 20 min. or more and wax, pluck, and make me a new girl with definition on the brow line. Well, at first I was horrible and took forever. However, through the years and trials, I have gotten better....UNTIL today. I decided to do it at the wrong time and that was the start of a horrible ending to this sad story. Why was the timing wrong you ask? Well, Connelly was awake and getting into, on, around, and breaking EVERYTHING he could find in the bathroom. (Basically, he was eating my tampons and opening up maxi pads one by...

Random thoughts

So this post is a combination of what I've been thinking the past little bit: First, this morning, I didn't do anything with myself because I was going to wear a hat to class, Anatomy 2320, and so I just picked my zits and got Connelly to go to my mother in laws, and left. Yes left without the freaking hat. I didn't comb my hair, didn't put make up on, and left the house red, picked on ugly zit face. What was I thinking. oh well, it isn't like I even talk to anyone in class or having an affair with my teacher so no biggy. Second, I took a test in my anatomy class Monday, and I thought for sure we would get our tests back today. WE DIDN"T. so I have to anticipate my score another 6 days. HHHHHHHHHHHHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...... Connelly must be getting more teeth. He is Onery. He will be cute however about 10 minutes before he goes to be. He is really ticklish and giggly late at night. So then it makes it hard to want to put him in bed because he i...

Found a home

Bell has found a new home. After I put her up for FREE on ksl.com, I got a ton of calls. The first little old lady that came to look at her snatched her right up. I was really surprised because Bell snapped at her right off, but I guess things are going well now. The lady called me later in the day, and said, "thank you, thank you. Bell is the dog I've waited for my whole life." She said that Bell just followed her around all day and the neighborhood kids love her. I'm so relieved.
