Sunday, Sunday

Justin was given a calling today and he wasn't there. I texted him and had Krista text him too. He didn't respond. I hope he's alright. He was so golden but he got baptized without any friends. I'm trying but I can only do so much. I hope he's o.k. and that he plans to return to church. I didn't want him to just get baptized to disappear.

I saw my fine home teacher Rich today. He had a nice tie on. He plans to leave his job at ICON in a year because that's the limit to stay at any job you hope to progress at... NICE!!! I like that he knows that and that he is thinking of his career. Just because you are an attorney doesn't mean you should be stagnant at your job.

I am still sooo stoked to work at the temple!!! Maybe it didn't happen right away so I could appreciate the opportunity more. Who knows. I just know I'm exited!!! I can do anything for 2 years. That is an early and demanding schedule. I need to prepare for it physically by eating the right food AND working out throughout the weak. When I first started my job here I commuted from SLC for 2 months. It was hell BUT I forced myself to get up in the morning and work out. ALSO to eat well because I needed to energy to work 10 hours and drive 3 hours a day.

In order for me to serve with ALL my might mind and strength I need to incorporate that. It fits with the rest of my life goals and/or what I constantly want to strive to achieve. It is only by doing this that I can even hope to have a part time real estate career. I need the energy to work outside my normal work hours and to have my mind alert. I looove the speaker Les Brown I saw at Success 2013. I'm not working to the best of my ability if I slack in this at all. He always ends his Facebook statuses by stating we have greatness in us. I believe that completely. It is like my favorite quote from Marianne Williamson in her book A Return to Love? or something like that. We were all meant to shine as children do, it is not just in some of us it is in everybody. We ask ourselves who am I to be talented, beautiful, fabulous? Actually who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve anyone. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking. As we let our light shine we give permission for others to do the same.

1 Nephi 4
4 Now when I had spoken these words, they were yet wroth, and did still continue to murmur; nevertheless they did follow me up until we came without the walls of Jerusalem.
6 And I was aled by the Spirit, not bknowing beforehand the things which I should do.

18 Therefore I did obey the voice of the Spirit, and took Laban by the hair of the head, and I smote off his head with his own asword.
31 And now I, Nephi, being a man large in stature, and also having received much astrength of the Lord, therefore I did seize upon the servant of Laban, and held him, that he should not flee.
I am worried by 1 Nephi 4. I hate finding similarities between myself and Laman and Lemuel. I often will do the right thing BUT murmur whether it is out loud or in my heart. I complain easily. I never know beforehand what I should do. I have an idea but the details are blacked out. This is because I'm supposed to use my brain to figure it out. I like this although it would be easier to be just told EXACTLY what was best. Even as I complain about this I wouldn't have it any other way. 

Maybe attending a family ward made my friend want to attend one permanently.  I wish I knew what was going on and why he isn't attending my ward but if he felt it was important to tell me he would have. I wonder if he still works at the temple and if I'll see him there. I intend to enjoy being an ordinance worker whether he is there or not. That is incidental. We are pretty good friends despite whatever drama we've had. It is incredible to me that he didn't answer the text I sent him the Sunday I thought for sure I'd see him in my ward. I guess it is more accurate to say I AM HIS GOOD FRIEND and will treat him that way despite his sneaky person.

Someone from the Providence 2nd Ward, the YSA ward I live in came over to invite me to attend. I told her I attend the OLD singles ward. She told me my place was nice and to attend her ward anyway. Sweet girl BUT she has NO IDEA how old I am. 

It IS NICE NOT seeing him flirting with the whole ward female population. That annoys me beyond belief. I am glad his #1 fan is getting married. She probably wouldn't have if he made an appearance. He helped this wedding happen at all. I know he doesn't see anything wrong with his friendships BUT someway somehow he needs a jolt, an epiphany to realize he is inappropriate.
