1. I try really hard to keep my Sabbath day holy. It's something I do for my savior. This week i was again shown why i do this. I drove home Sunday, I took Legacy highway, they made me get off on a random exit because power lines had fallen. I had to wait at a light for fifteen minutes looking at a lot of awesomeness. Including Jamba Juice during happy hour, Gex X's that i knew were having a great sale, and a McDonald's that's fries I knew would taste amazing. Why Sunday, why this day to want so many amazing things. I suppose it was a test! Oman I prayed, I prayed hard. I Succeeded as well! Yes I drove all the way home and didn't stop.
2. Two days later I needed diapers and wipes and only 5 dollars because embarrassing as it is Thomas didn't get a job this summer and you still have to pay bills and gas. I'm not sharing this to get sympathy but to share a story to others who might be experiencing a similar situation. (p.s. Thomas is going to get paid for some work he is doing for his dad). So i went to the store hoping for the best. And guess freaking what! I bought a jumbo pack (36 diapers and a small package of wipes) for $3.00! I used $2.00 off coupon but somehow a discount of $4.00 was added to my checkout. I guess i can just say I was being looked out for.
3. It's makes me sad to see others hurting. A lady gave a talk in church on Sunday. She said she used to pray for complete happiness and safely for her children. She then said after a couple years she stopped...... and started praying her children would be able to endure there trials and bruises well and complete. We all have to have trials, we all have to hurt. That's why it's so important to stay close to your God and the ones that love you.
4. I've learned a lot this summer. Most important a big dose of humility and patience. I've also learned that I couldn't be happier then where I am today. Wishing different things, places, times doesn't get you anywhere but down. Remembering what your grateful for and living today is what brings you up.
