Song Of The Blog: I Know That My Redeemer Lives_I don't know who is singing. haha
I love sundays. Adore them. Sunday is the best day of the week. When God rested on Sunday, it was genius, pure genius. He really is all-knowing. :)
I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I am a Mormon. And proud to be one. I live in Provo, Utah. So this doesn't come as much of a surprise to most. I haven't lived here long though. I moved here about a month and a half ago. (Still haven't landed a job by the way. The economy is wonderful is it not?) I moved here from Parsons, KS. A tiny teeny town. But I loved it, and I lived it. I lived there for 4 whole years. Except the 3 months I lived in Greeley, Nebraska. I try not to think of that awful time though. hahaha I loved Parsons. It became my home more than any other place I've ever lived. And I've moved about 30 times in my life. I counted. I am thankful every day that my Heavenly Father placed me there. It was a great blessing in my life.
So just a side note. My legs hurt soooo bad right now. I went dancing on friday, and it was waay fun, but I can't even walk without this horrible limp. ew. But I my muscles feel tougher. Maybe I'm getting tougher. ;)
So today at church. Amazing. Like it always is. Since I joined the church when I was 14 there hasn't been a single day that I think, "ugh, church is boring." I LOVE IT. =D So I go, and of course the Sacrament is beautiful. It is such a sacred thing to be able to remake the covenants that you have made with God at baptism, every single sunday! It's like getting baptised all over again. You have the chance every week to be washed clean and start fresh. To be able to self evaluate and say, next week I'm going to do this better. Which brings me to the lesson that hit me the hardest today. Covenents. Making a covenent with the Lord. A covenent is a two way promise, but it's even more binding than a promise. I made the covenent with the Lord when I was baptised, when I accepted the Gospel as true, to always remember Him. To never forget what he has done for me, and still does for me. And He is bound as well. He has in turn promised to never leave me. He will always be there for me. And if I keep my end, and endure through this life, then I can have all that He hath. Isn't that wonderful? Now I'm not preaching. I'm just writing down my thoughts. This entry today is more for me really. You may read and comment. And I welcome any questions. But you don't need to believe what I know. I am writing because my joy that comes from this is soooooo great. I love my Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ. They are the rock to my life. So of course I am going to talk about them on my blog. hahaha
I wonder if I have any readers yet.... hmmm... That would be kinda cool. To think that maybe someone I don't even know is reading this. That maybe they can relate to some little detail of my life. It's an interesting concept. So if you are reading this, please do comment. It would make this even more than it already is. :)
My notes in church today were so helterskelter. I really need to get a little notebook to write down my thoughts. But all I had was strips of a Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu club flyer and my hand. hahaha I would put up a picture, but my dear friend has it. I shall name her. Hmmmm..... Melissa. I like that name. I left it in Melissa's purse the other night when we went dancing. :) But after I get it back there will be a lot of pictures on here. I love to take pictures. :)
As a last note. It is 1:04 pm. The little time thing below is wrong. It likes the number 11 I guess. It did that last night as well.
Toodloo. I'll try to write every day. :)
