I get to run around paying bills. NOT exactly my favorite thing in the world to do BUT I don't work today so it'll be fine. I'm being lazy surfing in bed but I need to get up and get the day started. I baked some frozen pizza last night. Leftovers for breakfast in a second. I wore a sweater to bed last night again. Time for me to join the living.
I'm not sure what to wear. I want to run these errands then come home and clean my house. I love the way it feels when everything's clean. I think you can feel the spirit when everything's clean better. I don't think the spirit likes chaos. AND now I'm preaching false doctrine, well maybe not false but nothing but speculation on my part. It is what works for me anyway.
I decided to wear my lime flag shirt. My coloring does well with bright colors. That's great because I love bright colors. I think I'm going to pay my rent with this check. I'm going to do it right away.
Alma 25
9 And behold they are hunted at this day by the Lamanites. Thus the words of Abinadi were brought to pass, which he said concerning the seed of the priests who caused that he should suffer death by fire.
10 For he said unto them: What ye shall do unto me shall be a type of things to come.
11 And now Abinadi was the first that suffered death by fire because of his belief in God; now this is what he meant, that many should suffer death by fire, according as he had suffered.
17 And now behold, Ammon, and Aaron, and Omner, and Himni, and their brethren did rejoice exceedingly, for the success which they had had among the Lamanites, seeing that the Lord had granted unto them according to their prayers, and that he had also verified his word unto them in every particular.
I know that I too will have the Lord's word verified IN EVERY PARTICULAR. Sometimes it is hard for me to maintain the faith that this will come to pass. I do have enough faith to make the right decisions all the time BUUUT sometimes it feels like it's for naught. I know it isn't which is why I strive to keep the commandments. I am happier when I do and I know we cannot forsee what will happen all the time. I know when something's right. I am so grateful for the spirit and the direction it gives me when I'm unsure of something.
I have so much to be grateful for every day. Yesterday I met with my new director. I'm glad I did not become a blubbering idiot. I thought about how I used to throw Hip Hop dances in Salt Lake City. I enjoyed that then but I'm glad the first one I threw here didn't fly because that's not who I am anymore. One of our admissions counselors was giving a prospective student and his mother a tour and the mother recognized me from the temple. That was so cool. Some other lady who just started working with me there said she recognized me from attending the temple herself too. I want people to recognize me from the temple. I'm glad that is what they recognize me for and NOT the girl who throws hip hop dances. It was fun doing that but it attracts unsavory characters too. I always hired a police officer because fights typically break out after a dance in the parking lot. I encouraged people to leave and not hang out after because the after stuff is where all the trouble happened. I don't want to be associated with that anymore.
I want people to think of the temple when they see me. I REALLY like that.
