Busy Bee

Posted by 2DI4 at 6:00 PM

Last night we visited Lori? and Elizabeth new sisters in our Relief Society. It was nice to visit with them. I was exhausted when I got home. I REALLY didn't want to work out this morning but I forced myself before putting gas in my car then going to USU for ULA's Fall workshop. The first speaker is the new Director of the Salt Lake City Public Library. They've been looking for him for over 2 years. He gave an incredible talk about how to remain relevant. I like what he said and he made me think.

1 Nephi 16

22 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, did speak much unto my brethren, because they had hardened their hearts again, even unto acomplaining against the Lord their God.
 39 And it came to pass that the Lord was with us, yea, even the voice of the Lord came and did speak many words unto them, and did achasten them exceedingly; and after they were chastened by the voice of the Lord they did turn away their anger, and did repent of their sins, insomuch that the Lord did bless us again with food, that we did not perish.

 The Hope of God's Light - Dieter F. Uctdorf

Nevertheless, spiritual light rarely comes to those who merely sit in darkness waiting for someone to flip a switch. It takes an act of faith to open our eyes to the Light of Christ. Spiritual light cannot be discerned by carnal eyes. Jesus Christ Himself taught, “I am the light which shineth in darkness, and the darkness comprehendeth it not.”3 For “the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.”
I told Aaron's to deliver my couch AFTER 4pm. That didn't happen. It came a little after 3pm and they called and left a message. I was mad at first because I had to leave early BUT I was getting sleepy and it was good to leave when I did. I need to rest for tomorrow at the temple. I feel bad. I don't like this couch either. I'm thinking I'm going to get them to take it away. It will actually save me a ton of money. I keep thinking of that beautiful selection of couches I saw at Ashley furniture that cost A LOT less. I like the style and size of the first couch that was here but I like the leather on this couch much more. STILL my trip to Ashley furniture is going to make me think I've been ripped off if I end up paying twice  for something I don't really like. 
The more I look at it the more I like it. I just could stretch out more with the first one. They really have given me excellent customer service. I don't have the heart to tell them to come and get it. I keep praying about it and I keep feeling like I should tell them to come and get it. I have to listen to the spirit especially now that I don't really want to tell them to take it back. I can easily live without a couch now until I can pay cash for one at Ashley Furniture. That won't take long. I could get one with my next check if I wanted to do that. 
Now I'm not liking it. I'll wait for Monday I think NOOO I'm going to call them tomorrow. I feel bad BUT it has to be done.
