BLOGMAS Day 3

Hey there (: Today is Blogmas day 3, and to be honest, this morning was not my morning. I woke up early for a meeting with the Stake Presidency and my calling partner to go over some things for Stake Conference, but right when I woke up, I just immediately felt terrible about myself. I got ready but just did not like my hair or my clothes or my body. I felt lightheaded anytime I was walking. And I don’t say any of this to complain or to try and receive pity. I say all of this, to be real. I don’t want these posts to come off as my highlight reel. Me only posting the best things. Because that is fake. I’m really good at putting on a happy face and acting like nothing is wrong, but that’s not how it always is. And so I tell you all of this because I’m a real person and this is real life, and the rest of my day actually got much better because I turned to the right resources.

Okay, so I went to my meeting at 8 am, and honestly I love my Stake Presidency. Being with them made me feel so happy and light. Definitely the light of Christ glows from them. And then I came home and did my mom’s hair haha. Funny how the tables have turned (; And then I saw that my mom was trying to get some things done before church, and instead of wallowing in my self pity ( lol grinch reference?) I decided to ask if I could help. And it did help my mood!

She got lots of compliments haha

And then we went to church, and it was exactly what I needed. It was testimony meeting today, and I actually just cried the whole time haha. This little boy got up to bear his testimony on how his family loves him, and then the cutest girl Alessa got up and bore her testimony on how God brings people into our lives, sometimes in mysterious ways, but it’s never a coincidence. And I just felt so full of gratitude. I have the most amazing people in my life right now, and sometimes it may feel like a coincidence meeting these people, like sitting at a random lunch table this year and meeting such cool people, or taking a class from a teacher I had never heard of and gaining one of the best mentors, or the sweetest girl complimenting me in sophomore biology class, and then introducing me to her friends. I know that there is no coincidence that these people are in my life and I’m iso thankful to my Heavenly Father for guiding them to me.

And then we came home and I decided to make cookies to deliver to some people because I know that serving others is one of the things that, no fail, will always make me feel better.


And now we are just going to watch the Christmas Devotional and deliver cookies (:
And also, look what happened to my car!! The mirror is falling out, the bottom of where it connects to the car is cracked, and the whole back side pulled out of the side of the car. Many of you probably think I crashed into something (my friends have no faith in my driving, but I promise I’m really good haha), but it wasn’t me!! We think someone backed into it at school or something. It happened a few days ago. So um if you backed into my mirror, thanks? Haha.

Today I am thankful for Fasting. Last night I actually started my fast for a real purpose, and technically Doctors would tell Diabetics not to fast, but with the Lord’s help, I’ve always made it through. My blood sugar didn’t drop and I finished my fast, and I recieved so much inspiration today. The Lord knows you, he wants to help you, and his hands are always stretched out to you, you just have to be willing to reach up for Him. The Light The World scripture today was Matthew 12:12 “How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days” Hope you got the opportunity to do well this Sunday. See you tomorrow (:
