Labor Day and Update!

Today is Labor Day and I am finding myself feeling lazy, over worked and definitely underpaid. But, I must look over the good as well as the bad.

Things I am thankful for: The Church, my shelter, food and basic necessities, having a job, family and friends.

I am at my parent's house and Mom found my Rainbow Brite pillow case and it got me thinking of my childhood. It is interesting to see how many things I can think of that went right back then. I know that when things are tough or miserable or we think we are in our own personal Hell, it is hard to appreciate small things such as a Rainbow Brite pillow case or to remember lost loved ones.

In exactly a month, I turn 29 years old. It is another day to me because as I have gotten older, it has lost its muster. It is really hard when you are hitting 30 so quickly and still single. I have the faith though, the determination, and the sheer will to continue on-to endure to the end, if you will.
I have been through so much in my 29 years and yet, I am finding that forgiveness is the only way I can endure to the end. I am reading the Miracle of Forgiveness and the biggest thing and maybe the hardest thing is forgiving myself for all my mistakes, shortcomings, sins, flaws and idiosyncrasies.

But, I also know through the atonement of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, that anything and everything is possible. I have a long way to go on my journey of repentance and forgiveness. My faith is ever growing and my testimony is getting stronger. I hope all that read will know of the love that Christ has for all of us.

As for my life and how things are, things are definitely looking up.

My love to all,
