I decided a while back that I would let myself off the hook from journaling and scrapbooking by doing this blog. I am going to print my blog annually....instant journal/scrapbook. Then I realized I wasn't putting anything in this blog that stated who I am and why I am who I am. I know there are glimpses of me: my bucket list, some songs I like, the books I've read. But I want to share who I am.
My friend told me the other day that I must be a strong spirit because I have been given so much to deal with in my life. I don't know if that is true, but I do know that I have been able to handle what I have been given because I know that my Heavenly Father knows me and loves me. Sometimes I have felt cradled in His hands as I have gone through some of my low points. I am grateful for everything that I have been given. I must admit that hasn't always been the case.
Here are some references that have helped me.
Doctrine and Covenants 6: 36 - Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not.
Alma 32: 21 - And now as I said concerning faith—a faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true.
I choose to have hope. Cynics are never at peace.
Living the gospel of Jesus Christ has given me peace.
I've seen enough death to have perspective on life....what you take with you is in your heart and in your mind - Who you loved and who has loved you, and what you learned. I spend most of my life now, trying not to screw this part up because I have spent most of my life so far screwing this part up.
Attitude changes everything...I love life though nothing really in my life has changed except my attitude.
Proverbs 3:5 -6 : Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
