Temple Morning

Posted by 2DI4 at 7:50 PM

I worked a session this morning, 2 veils, initiatories and had an hour of study time. Compared to last week it went by veeery fast. I was sister 1 today meaning I led a group to the session room and had to sit at the front during the session. Last night they played the old movie probably because the session was filled to capacity. Krista and I ended up in the last row and although we were first in that row we were the last out. I did some of the initiatory and I plan to do much more next week as well as attend the temple at least twice this week and work on memorizing those lines. I looove initiatories BEST. It focuses on our divine potential and that is the most exciting and incredible reason to live the gospel. It has already resulted in blessings beyond what I could conceive and I know more are just waiting for me to enjoy.

There was a special downloadable coupon from Smith's for a .45 2-liter Dr.Pepper 10, a new soda with just 10 calories. I ran out of foundation. I know Kmart has the best price but I'm just going to hope the dollar store has it. I don't want to drive all the way to North Logan. I should've taken my foundation in SLC when I was there last week. I have stuff there so I don't have to buy stuff when I go to my mom's house. I have make-up, cleanser, contact solution and moisturizer. I only take food I want to eat there and my clothes. My mom has had to change her diet so much since she was sick. I got free Burger King "satisfries" along with a Whopper JR I ate earlier right after I went to the temple.

2 Nephi 4

28 Awake, my soul! No longer droop in sin. Rejoice, O my heart, and give place no more for the enemy of my soul.
 29 Do not anger again because of mine enemies. Do not slacken my strength because of mine afflictions.
 30 Rejoice, O my heart, and cry unto the Lord, and say: O Lord, I will praise thee forever; yea, my soul will rejoice in thee, my God, and the rock of my salvation.
 31 O Lord, wilt thou redeem my soul? Wilt thou deliver me out of the hands of mine enemies? Wilt thou make me that I may shake at the appearance of sin?
 32 May the gates of hell be shut continually before me, because that my heart is broken and my spirit is contrite! O Lord, wilt thou not shut the gates of thy righteousness before me, that I may walk in the path of the low valley, that I may be strict in the plain road!
 33 O Lord, wilt thou encircle me around in the robe of thy righteousness! O Lord, wilt thou make a way for mine escape before mine enemies! Wilt thou make my path straight before me! Wilt thou not place a stumbling block in my way—but that thou wouldst clear my way before me, and hedge not up my way, but the ways of mine enemy.
 34 O Lord, I have trusted in thee, and I will trust in thee forever. I will not put my trust in the arm of flesh; for I know that cursed is he that putteth his trust in the arm of flesh. Yea, cursed is he that putteth his trust in man or maketh flesh his arm.
 35 Yea, I know that God will give liberally to him that asketh. Yea, my God will give me, if I ask not amiss; therefore I will lift up my voice unto thee; yea, I will cry unto thee, my God, the rock of my righteousness. Behold, my voice shall forever ascend up unto thee, my rock and mine everlasting God. Amen.
I LOOOVE, LOOOVE, LOOOVE THIS CHAPTER!!! IT IS ONE OF IF NOT MY MOST FAVORITE!!!
Look Ahead and Believe - Edward Dube
We should all be “anxiously engaged in a good cause, and do many things of [our] own free will, and bring to pass much righteousness” (D&C 58:27).

They did not know exactly where they were going, precisely how many miles lay ahead, how long the journey would take, or what the future held in store for them. But they did know they were led by the Lord and His servants” (“Faith of Our Fathers,” Ensign, May 1996, 33).

“Ye cannot behold with your natural eyes, for the present time, the design of your God concerning those things which shall come hereafter, and the glory which shall follow after much tribulation” (D&C 58:2–3).
In the sight of the Lord, it is not so much what we have done or where we have been but much more where we are willing to go.
I want to give birth to my own children but each day that passes that seems more and more unlikely. There are so many amazing blessings I have but this is something I want very much. I feel good about all the choices I've made so far. I don't know why this is such a big deal to me. I've done everything I'm supposed to do. Working in the temple reminds me of what really matters and assures me my Father in Heaven is pleased with me.I know becoming a mother will NEVER be enough OR worth it if I marry the wrong person. 

I like couponing because it makes me feel like I'm in control of my spending. It is such a rush to get stuff so cheap or even free. It also makes me feel like a wise steward over what I've been entrusted with.
