Right now I'm looking back on this month and I realize it's been hard, to say the least. A lot has happened in my life. Things especially with relationships. There have been a lot of challenges. At times I have felt helpless, miserable, and may or may not have hit an all time low. Lately I have been feeling sorry for myself for everything that has happened even though none of it was ever my fault. Sometimes I feel like I just care too much and maybe I shouldn't. I can't stop, though. It's who I feel like I am and I feel that's what is right.
In a way I'm thankful for not only these challenges, but with all challenges in life. It reminds me how strong I am (and can be). It brings me closer to my Savior. I don't think I have prayed that strong in my life before these things happened. From this I was reminded of the power of prayer. I consider it one of the greatest blessings because it allows us to directly communicate with our Father in Heaven who knows each of us better than we know ourselves. He knows what is best for us and will help us if we but ask. I know I wouldn't be able to deal with day to day life the way I do had it not been for the church. I am grateful to be the active member I am because it brings me more happiness that I ever could myself. One day I will share my happiness with whoever needs it most. I will serve a mission.
After stake conference today, I became inspired to challenge myself. I will not forget the words of our stake president, Crankshaw as they stood out to me more than the heart-felt testimonies. That is that it is our purpose (but our choice) to live like His son. Now I wish I would have taken some notes because everything he and the other speakers said were truly one of inspiration to me. I think now at my current life and I realize that there are some things that need to change. I know I'm not perfect. I over react at times. I'm too impatient with things and sometimes I'm a little over emotional. Life isn't going to get any easier. All you can really do is be your true self and stay true to what you believe in. Put your best foot forward. Be an example to those around you.
Friday was when I went to our yearly adventure to Tuachaun in St. G. to watch Thriller at the Odyssey Dance Theatre. It did not disappoint. :) After taking my geology exam, I came home and watched Dr. Phil with my parents for like an hour before leaving. We stopped by the mall and my dreams came true of owning boots! Thanks, Forever Young Shoes. :) I cannot wait for Christmas now. That seems so far away...We ate at a new italian restaurant by the mall called Buca. They have probably the largest pasta sized portions you'll ever see in your life. They're famous just for that. Food was awesome of course.

Loved. Loved. Thriller! Never ceases to amaze me. :) Of course we got creeped on. If you don't, then it's not any fun. I happen to really get a kick out of it.
