2014

I love the opportunities I already have this bright new year!!! I looove my calling!!! Missionary work is my absolute favorite. FHE is going to be in full effect. I missed it BUT my real estate venture is something I wanted to do for a long time and I'm grateful I passed the test on the first try even though I didn't pass my class test right off thanks to not studying. I love that it's a holiday at work today. Tomorrow I attend work but then I'll be off again on Friday.

EVERY area of my life is going to be stellar this year!!! We are all responsible for our own happiness and that is what I choose.

I chatted with Helene just a minute ago. We're having dinner together next Tuesday at Mo Bettah Steaks. She wanted to know if we should invite Ele and I told her NOOO!!! I love her but I don't want to spend EVERY moment with her or do EVERYTHING with her either apparently spending ANY time with her incites that. If David still lives in Janelle's house he's in her ward now. While I love information on him I like my information directly from the source.

Helene wanted to know about our ward and also whether I would be in the choir again.  She works so she isn't able to attend her own home ward or her own choir.

Whatever. I wish our ward was split already. I still can't believe I get to be a ward missionary!!! I looove missionary work. I can't wait to find out who our new ward mission leader is going to be. I'm glad my home teacher Rich and my visiting teacher Beth are also ward missionaries. They are both 2 of my favorite people in the ward. Actually Krista is my favorite followed by Rich and Beth. I could talk to Rich and Beth for hours. I was comfortable with Rich from the very beginning. I feel like he is either my brother or cousin. We have more in common than anyone I've met before. If I hadn't had divine intervention there I have no doubt we'd be married now although I don't think I could be truly happy with anyone with an ex-wife and 4 children. Rich and Krista are just as confident as me and they both love the Lord too. Beth loves many of the same books I do. She also has gay friends. I really like her understanding of the gospel too. I am so happy they are both ward missionaries. So I already have my first appointment eating out with someone I enjoy in the new year.

Justin is beautiful and I'm glad he's my friend. I want him to make many more friends, especially guys in the ward. Justin is amazing because he is attractive enough NOT to assume I must be interested in him if I talk to him or even if I hang out with him. Tarique our other new member is never going to have me as a friend because. I know he could fall for m in an instant. I am conceited but I'm not stupid either.

2 Nephi 17
 4 And say unto him: Take heed, and be quiet; fear not, neither be faint-hearted for the two tails of these smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.

 Drawing Closer to God - Elder Terrance M. Vinson

When it happened a second time a few minutes later, his response to further questions about his newfound abilities was: “It’s amazing! I think it’s because Poppy loves me and is one of my best friends, and he takes care of me!”
They love God as a close friend, and He takes care of them.

“Do we take seriously the promise we make when we partake of the sacrament and covenant to keep His commandments and always remember Him?”
His father corrected him: “No you haven’t. You haven’t had my help yet!”
They then bent down together and moved the rock easily.
Our Savior wants us to really love Him to the point that we want to align our will with His. We can then feel His love and know His glory. Then He can bless us as He wants to.

May we all feel as confident as Enos, as reflected in the last verse of his short but profound book: “I rejoice in the day when my mortal shall put on immortality, and shall stand before him; then shall I see his face with pleasure, and he will say unto me: Come unto me, ye blessed, there is a place prepared for you in the mansions of my Father” (Enos 1:27).
Because of the multiplicity of experiences and the power with which the Spirit has witnessed to me, I testify with absolute surety that God lives. I feel His love. It is the sweetest feeling. May we do what is needed to align our will with His and truly love Him. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
Life is so sweet!
I was thinking this morning of how it shouldn't be possible for me to be in love with someone who doesn't feel the same way BUT I've never believed that. I know how he feels about me, I've never doubted that. What I do doubt is his desire to do anything about that BUT we are either going to be dating or nothing. I can't just be his friend. I have enough friends. He will simply cease to exist for me if we don't start seeing each other exclusively. Those are the only options with him for me. I'm not trying to be mean, that's just the way it is. I can't just be a friend to someone if I'm in love with them. I am very good at ignoring people I don't want to have anything to do with, They can be right in front of my face and I'll ignore them.
