Urban Poly Princess

Our Boss lady went to Tonga. I'm pretty sure her husband works for the airlines because she is flying without for sure reservations. I hope she has a fantastic time. I FINALLY went to the stage. I usually avoid them or say no when they try to get me up there but I figured it was time for me to do my duty. Maki is the one that works out hard. I love her routines although she is also the one who makes me want to kill her. I still need to figure out what to make for Friday, our Halloween Party. I wonder if Nata will have her call by then. We need to go when she opens it. I'm so excited for my niece. I love her so much.

I tried to find Benson in our ward directory but he isn't there. I wonder if he aged out but decided to attend the activities anyway. Maybe that's why they're so strict. A gentleman doctor with a house in the Avenues who is still single? That would be just fine. This other guy Rory who I first met at the dinner group I attended is in the Bountiful ward but he still attends our stuff. I was happy to see Julie there last night. This guy was hitting on her last night and she was trying to get away from him. He wasn't bad looking however although I am not sure about anything else. I am encouraged by all the professional men I keep meeting here. There are still the men who are doing nothing like Tommy who I rode with to the corn maze. He doesn't work and is living at home. He hopes to write a novel someday according to what he told me but he doesn't seem to be taking any steps to achieve that.

This morning as I was brushing my teeth it hit me what to use as my weakness if I'm asked in an interview. MY AGE!!! I look a lot younger than I am and people underestimate me all the time. People never think I have a graduate degree let alone 2. The Poly thing also works against me a lot. There is a segment of men who will never be interested in me because I'm not white. That is fine because enough don't care and I don't want anyone who wouldn't consider any Poly girl AND not too long ago I would ONLY consider someone Poly. NOW, they need to have the spiritual strength, intelligence and maturity meaning I don't want someone still in school, living at home or in a dead-end job that shows absolutely NOOO responsibility. Younger men usually like the way I look. White men usually like it when I don't wear any makeup or dress down. I however looove makeup and clothes and someone who wants to be with me has to deal with that and it is their problem.

Moroni 7
19 Wherefore, I beseech of you, brethren, that ye should search diligently in the light of Christ that ye may know good from evil; and if ye will lay hold upon every good thing, and condemn it not, ye certainly will be a child of Christ.
25 Wherefore, by the ministering of angels, and by every word which proceeded forth out of the mouth of God, men began to exercise faith in Christ; and thus by faith, they did lay hold upon every good thing; and thus it was until the coming of Christ.

Guided Safely Home - Thomas S. Monson
Like the vital rudder of a ship, brethren, we have been provided a way to determine the direction we travel. The lighthouse of the Lord beckons to all as we sail the seas of life. Our purpose is to steer an undeviating course toward our desired goal—even the celestial kingdom of God. A man without a purpose is like a ship without a rudder, never likely to reach home port. To us comes the signal: chart your course, set your sail, position your rudder, and proceed.
When we maintain our personal purity and honor our priesthood, we become righteous examples for others to follow.
“Nothing will bring greater joy and success than to live according to the teachings of the gospel. Be an example; be an influence for good.”
Such protection and safety can be ours as we also steer that steady course toward our eternal home.
May our testimonies be as deep and as strong as that of Jacob, the brother of Nephi, who, when confronted by one who sought in every way possible to destroy his faith, declared, “I could not be shaken.”⁸

I pray my interview goes well today.
