I have so many thoughts and emotions today. I am in such the best mood. I don't think anything could get me down.
General Conference. I love. I always have, but it was different this year. I don't know if it is because I have finally grown up enough to have the desire to listen to every word, but for some reason I just cannot get enough. Oh, and PS. Has the Tabernacle Choir always been that impressive? Oh my word. I have never felt the spirit so strong while listening to them as I did this morning during The Spirit of God.
I removed my followers from my profile. I am sorry, but it had to be done. I was getting too caught up in the numbers and it was taking away from my joy of blogging. I blog because it makes me happy. Yes, I love followers and knowing that people like to read what I say, but it isn't my purpose for blogging. If you want to follow my blog you will have to use the follow button at the top of the page instead of the follow box. Perhaps I will add my box of followers again someday. Perhaps I will have lost some, or gained some, but it really doesn't matter to me. I really just blog for the sake of enjoying blogging, and I need to keep it that way.
Cody is going to come home someday. It may be a long time from now, but eventually it will happen. I miss my best friend, but not the kind of missing him as in I wish he were here. I just miss him. I am excited to be able to see him again someday.
I have made some of the best friendships the past couple weeks and months. People I have known for so long but have never been close with. Being here has let me become close with people I never thought I would be close with. I am going to miss Ryan and Jared when they leave. I have grown so close to these boys. I'm not there are many other people in the world I could talk to like I can talk to these boys. I am so blessed to have such great men as friends.
In April 2013, I will have a career. I hope 2012 is not the end of the world.
I love my parents. Being home this year has been hard on me, but it has strengthened me. If I would have known in high school that I would be spending my first graduated year at home with my parents, I would NOT have been okay with it. Guess what. It has been the best year of my life so far. My parents are becoming my best friends. I have to have a visit with them every day. Our relationship has been strengthened so much.
I am so blessed. Everything is falling into place. I have made decisions I never thought I would make. I am going places I ever only dreamed to be going. Life is so exciting at this time in my life. Yes, it is hard, every single day, but it is going to be so worth it.
General Conference, is the best, I can't get enough either!!
ReplyDeleteYou took words RIGHT out of my mouth..like always. :)
ReplyDeletespirit of god this morning was incredible. absolutely BREATH TAKING!
ReplyDeleteI relate a lot to your last few paragraphs. I love how the Lord knows what we need and at the time it seems sucky, like for you coming home from school, but he does it so we can learn and be strengthened. It's so cool when you can finally look back in retrospect and see that. :)
