Gorgeous Spring Sunday

Posted by 2DI4 at 10:26 AM

I love pretty Sabbath days!!! Today is the first day of my FINALLY split new ward. It should be interesting to see how many new faces show up since ALL of Cache Valley Mid-singles are invited. I'd love to find some nice brilliant, spiritual AND gorgeous man who wants to leave this place in a little over a year. I can try can't I???!!!

Our choir got a text. We are actually meeting at 12:20. Our ward doesn't begin until 1pm and we start with RS. The other ward begins with sacrament at 1:30. MOST of the women who annoy me are now officially in the Logan 2nd ward. I like that A LOT!!! Devin just got engaged this weekend so not only will we get a new mission leader, we'll also have a new Elder's Quorum president. I REALLY hope it's not Jon BUUUT I will have no choice but to deal with it if it is. His doctrinal base sucks and he is not in a good place to answer nonmember questions. It's not just that he seems to have a thing for me. That is annoying of course BUUUT Porter's doctrine is sound at least even if he needs to think again if he ever entertains the thought that we will EVER get together. I need to give Porter Erika's information and make sure he follows up with her.

Andrew can talk to me about Alan or any of his nonmember friends if and when he wants. I'm going to try to figure out who else to take with me to conference Saturday morning because we're NOT going together alone and I have 3 more tickets. I'm going to pray about it so I find someone appropriate to go with us. I'm not trying to drive Andrew away from the gospel just from his faulty notions about his player skills because he is not the player he thinks he is and I have dealt with much more adept players than he who were also very good-looking. He's just alright. He has the confidence BUUUT he should NOOOT assume he knows anything about me. Just because other women reacted to him does NOOOT mean I will. He needs to check the attitude.

Moroni 7
 16 For behold, the Spirit of Christ is given to every man, that he may know good from evil; wherefore, I show unto you the way to judge; for every thing which inviteth to do good, and to persuade to believe in Christ, is sent forth by the power and gift of Christ; wherefore ye may know with a perfect knowledge it is of God.

44 If so, his faith and hope is vain, for none is acceptable before God, save the meek and lowly in heart; and if a man be meek and lowly in heart, and confesses by the power of the Holy Ghost that Jesus is the Christ, he must needs have charity; for if he have not charity he is nothing; wherefore he must needs have charity.
 45 And charity suffereth long, and is kind, and envieth not, and is not puffed up, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil, and rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoiceth in the truth, beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
 46 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, if ye have not charity, ye are nothing, for charity never faileth. Wherefore, cleave unto charity, which is the greatest of all, for all things must fail—
 47 But charity is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever; and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him.
Charity is what I wanted to develop most on my mission and I was successful but I still have a lot more I need to gain. It is a lifetime challenge for me. Nothing is difficult about the gospel. Keeping the commandments is easy for me. Love is the hard part. Patience and love are constant challenges for me. If someone gets on my nerves I just don't want to have anything to do with them at all. I avoid them because I'm always afraid I'll snap at them. I have to learn to control this. I always want people I deal with to be perfect when I am so far from perfect myself. My testimony is such an amazing blessing. Sometimes I fail to see why it isn't so obvious to people. I REALLY hate it when people take their callings or the gospel lightly. 
What I always need to remember is that the most important part of the gospel is charity and that I can have everything else BUT without this crucial component it is as if everything or anything I've done is vain.
I feel calm and fabulous. I'm not sure why I had that freakout last Sunday or rather Monday morning. I am fine and nothing's happening to me and even if it does my Father in Heaven is with me to deal with whatever life decides to throw at me AND I think I'm o.k. and it's not going to throw anything at me. Life is really good!!!
