I was EXTREMELY ANGRY and YES I just finished crying. I am such a crybaby. I cry when I'm mad, hurt, touched by the spirit. What the hell is wrong with me!!! This process has been HELL and NOOO I'm NOT talking about the actual work. I will be enrolled for NEXT module beginning on the 25th. My completion date will be listed as April 18th now. I have to keep reminding myself. I don't have to do anything. The paperwork will be completed AND I will still march on May 17th. I think my brother wants to come with his family to celebrate my graduation. I spoke to Heather Gunn who was just told by her registrar that I need to be enrolled again. I'm going to be patient and WAIT until Tuesday when Stacey said it should be complete. I would HAAATE to have someone looking over my shoulder. I need to resist that tendency. I'm not very good at that BUT I will leave her alone. The new module begins on the 25th which is when Heather said I could get a grade.

So now Stevens-Henager College owns me until April 18th 2015. I guess if some other librarian in the system dies I can take their place. We have 2 schools in California now. San Marcos and San Diego. I have no idea where San Marcos is although I know it's Southern Cali. We also have schools in Arizona, Wyoming, Colorado and Idaho. The schools in Utah are in Provo, St. George, Layton, Ogden and Salt Lake. Salt Lake or California are the only ones I'd be interested in working at.  I still need to work on teaching online and Zumba AND improving my skating. I decided I want a gorgeous library filled with the type of books I think it should have when I leave this library AND it already is 10x better than when I first started. I've been here almost 3 years which is plenty of time to be somewhere.

Mosiah 23

10 Nevertheless, after much tribulation, the Lord did hear my cries, and did answer my prayers, and has made me an instrument in his hands in bringing so many of you to a knowledge of his truth.


15 Thus did Alma teach his people, that every man should love his neighbor as himself, that there should be no contention among them.


17 And it came to pass that none received authority to preach or to teach except it were by him from God. Therefore he consecrated all their priests and all their teachers; and none were consecrated except they were just men.


18 Therefore they did watch over their people, and did nourish them with things pertaining to righteousness.

21 Nevertheless the Lord seeth fit to chasten his people; yea, he trieth their patience and their faith.


22 Nevertheless—whosoever putteth his trust in him the same shall be lifted up at the last day. Yea, and thus it was with this people.

Verse 21 feels relevant right now. I certainly feel like my patience and faith are being tried. I am grateful however to get a free MBA even if it feels like it's taken FOREVER. I don't know why I got so upset. I don't know why I always get so upset over nothing. Perhaps my patience is tried so I can develop that characteristic more.

Be Valiant in Courage, Strength, and Activity-Bishop Gary E. Stevenson

I quote a favorite scripture: “And they were all young men, and they were exceedingly valiant for courage, and also for strength and activity; but behold, this was not all—they were men who were true at all times."

Young men, I promise the Lord will empower you. “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power.” He will reward you for your courage and righteous behavior—with happiness and joy. Such courage will be a byproduct of your faith in Jesus Christ and His Atonement, your prayers, and your obedience to commandments.


President Thomas S. Monson recently counseled:


“To make [decisions] wisely, courage is needed—the courage to say no, the courage to say yes. …

“I plead with you to make a determination … right now, not to deviate from the path which will lead to our goal: eternal life with our Father in Heaven.”

The stripling warriors were men who were true at all times. I love that ALSO God is not behind fear. I like this. Anytime I'm afraid of doing what I know I should do I have to remember this. God gives us the spirit rather of power. I knew I was a superhero!!! I am determined not to deviate from my parth.
