Fast and Testimony

Lately I've come to more fully understand who I am, my divine nature and purpose and also I have more fully understood just how much God can inspire His children. I have learned that my influence has reached much further than I dreamed and that I've affected people I didn't think knew I existed. I know that people don't just see what I say but what I do. Recently, however, I have come to more fully see myself as a daughter of God. I have come to rely on Him more. I have seen His hand in every aspect of my life. I hope that I have helped others do the same. I pray for all to come to have the joy I have. He is eternal. Truth doesn't change. Fullness can be found in the Gospel of Jesus Christ restored to this earth by Christ through the Prophet, Seer, and Revelator Joseph Smith Junior. Holy scriptures such as the Book of Mormon are true- as is the Bible, as far as it has been translated correctly. I know this to be true. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

A Prayer for Mommy

"Pop."
Is this text from Justin or Tim? Either would be fine... Neither. It's from Mommy... "pray." What?
"I need you to do me a favor. I need you to pray for me that what I am trying to accomplish is the right thing to do, and to give me strength to get it all done. Can't give details yet... but need strength and reassurance."
This... wonderful imploring means more than I can express... I've been having a hard time this week. I missed four days of Seminary and have had drama surrounding my new job at the movie theatre and the musical (in which I am "Barnacles"). I have woken up late and had to wait to read the scriptures during free time during block sceduling. I missed Church last Holy Sabbath (which was ward conference...) because I had a dance competition, where I had to wear immodest outfits. It's been a rough and disconnected (my own fault) week. This shows me, again, that this Gospel is true. It is so touching to have Mommy believe in me enough to think my prayers will bless her life how she needs help, even though I don't know in what way this is.
After a immediate and heartfelt prayer, I messaged her back and said I've done what I can, I can't change God's will but I did ask His blessings, and that her prayer would mean more to Heavenly Father's in this case than mine.
I don't know if this will bring her back to the Gospel but I fervently hope so... All I can do is pray... pray a Prayer for Mommy.

Gaggle

GaggleTube is the best thing eva! I wonder if Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is on there??? I need to sigh up for this year's EFY. I'm so pumped. I missed musical yesterday for a really tough dance practice... bleh. I found out I can do this at school! That is what I'm doing now. I linked this blog to my Gaggle.net Social Wall.

FB Creeping leads to...

So, it once again just hit me that I'm not going to be one of those "cool" people. I'm never going to sit in the Grateful Red section and be homecoming queen. That doesn't mean that I am unhappy or depressed. I don't really care about that. I am happy the way I am. Sure, sometimes I look at FB pictures wishing I could have parties like that or hang out with that person. Sometimes I wish that I could be as happy as the unofficial class couple or everyone's favorite friend.... but I'm me. Messy, tangled, disorganized, beautiful, Mormon me.
