Glorious Friday!!!

Posted by 2DI4 at 9:23 AM

I love sleeping in when I can although I'd like to get back to my early-rising, workout/walking/eating the way I need to schedule. It's just nice not to have to go to work ALTHOUGH I do love my job and I don't want to leave it before my obligation is done especially now that I signed my lease for another year. I also want another job before I leave this one BUT IN SALT LAKE CITY!!! Jimmy hasn't mentioned my departure again since the day I broke down in his office. I don't like being emotional but while I love being a girl the sensitivity/emotional thing got the best of me and I was crying for nothing. I'm sure my coworkers had all these stupid ideas of him coming down hard against me but it wasn't that way at all. I STILL can't lie to him however and say I want to stay here forever. I've been a librarian for 4 years now. My salary should be close to 50,000 right now. My starting salary here was fine to begin BUUUT it isn't anymore!!!

I should be making more money right now. I don't have 2 Masters degrees to be making under 50,000 STILL. I want to start as an assistant manager at a library branch with the City or County and then move to manager where I hope to stay for a long time. I should be able to get my salary around $75,000. That is fine for a position I love that is relatively stress-free. I want to do real estate on the side to truly give me the income-producing properties I want. I also want to flip homes with my brother and cousins on the side and make some money for rainy days and/or to stay home with my children I hope to start having asap. OF COURSE I need to get married for that to happen.

Alma 18

16 And it came to pass that Ammon, being filled with the Spiritof God, therefore he perceived the thoughts of the king. And he said unto him: Is it because thou hast heard that I defended thy servants and thy flocks, and slew seven of their brethren with the sling and with the sword, and smote off the arms of others, in order to defend thy flocks and thy servants; behold, is it this that causeth thy marvelings?
22 Now Ammon being wise, yet harmless, he said unto Lamoni: Wilt thou hearken unto my words, if I tell thee by what power I do these things? And this is the thing that I desire of thee.
I like that the spirit gives us insight into what people are thinking. I really believe this is true. I experience this again and again. I love the wise yet harmless description of Ammon. That is truly what I want to be as well. 

 If Ye Lack Wisdom - Marcus A. Aidukaitis
First, we can know the truth by observing its fruits.

Thus the scriptures teach us that we can know the truth by observing its fruits or by experimenting with it personally, giving place for the word in our hearts and cultivating it like unto a seed.
However, there is yet a third way to know the truth, and that is by personal revelation.
Doctrine and Covenants section 8 teaches that revelation is knowledge—“knowledge of whatsoever things [we] ask in faith, with an honest heart, believing that [we] shall receive.”7
And the Lord tells us how we will receive this revelation. He says, “I will tell you in your mind and in your heart, by the Holy Ghost, which shall come upon you and which shall dwell in your heart.”8
Thus we are taught that revelation can be obtained by asking in faith, with an honest heart, and believing we will receive.
Asking with an honest heart is equally important in this process. If we are sincerely seeking the truth, we will do all in our power to find it, which can include reading the scriptures, going to church, and doing our best to keep the commandments of God. It also means that we are willing to do God’s will when we find it.

 I am grateful the Lord's pattern for truth is the same and has never changed. As we do our part we will be blessed with exactly what we need to become the people we are meant to become. This is truly filling the measure of our creation, to do God's will, to be all that he wants us to become.
