Day 15: Favorite Scripture


Proverbs 3:5-6
"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart
and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him,
and he shall direct thy paths."

This is a scripture that I have returned to
time and time again,
and it has helped me through many changes
and trials that I didn't have any idea how to deal with.

~~~

But last week, Moroni 7:45-46,48 was the guidance I needed.

"And charity suffereth long, and is kind,
and envieth not, and is not puffed up,
seeketh not her own, 
is not easily provoked, 
thinketh no evil, and rejoiceth not in inquity
but rejoiceth in truth,
beareth all things, believeth all things,
hopeth all things, endureth all things.

Wherefore, my beloved brethren,
if ye have not charity, ye are nothing, 
for charity never faileth.
Wherefore, cleave unto chairty, 
which is the greatest of all,
for all things must fail.

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, pray unto the Father
with all the energy of heart, 
that ye may be filled with this love,
which he hath bestowed upon all who are true followers
of his Son, Jesus Christ...
that we may have this hope;
that we may be purified even as he is pure."

~~~

It's a step by step road map!
If you're holding a grudge,
have been offended or hurt by someone,
don't know how to relate or interact with someone,
PRESTO!
ROAD MAP!

Direct advice on how to cleanse and lift your soul, 
relieving it of anger, frustration,
and painful offense. 
What to do and what not to do
to live filled with the peace and love of Christ.
Purified.
Sounds amazingly fresh, light and wonderful to me.
I would love to feel like that :)


13 is Just as Lucky.

Day 13: Favorite Song


"Ready Marvin?"
"Ready Tammi."




this song is my favorite because it never fails to lift my spirit.
it reminds me of that sweet, delicious feeling you get in life 
when you realize things are good.
Not easy. 
but simply, richly good.
because you are alive and people love you.
and you take the moment to relish it.

SUPER Emotional

It should be a super power that actually fights bad guys
and saves civilians.


Instead,
the impending doom of a woman's monthly horror is almost upon me, 
and the water works have started. 


In my free mental time,
I start imagining horrible things
and even though I know they are not happening
nor do they have a very high chance of ever happening,
I suddenly find myself getting ready for the day,
sobbing over Tommy being hit by an imaginary car
on campus.

Cars can't even go over 10mph on campus due to the mass of pedestrians.
Plus he's my giant!
His bones are probably indestructible
unless there is a really fast train involved.

Over lunch,
I text Tommy about all the tiny sad things
that are suddenly devastating.

I tell him I'll probably be overly happy in 1 hour.

He says, he knows : )


1 hour later....


I'm reading all the happy birthday wishes
on my facebook page
sigh-sobbing "I just love all of these people!"



~ on the next day of madness ~



I just watched Goku sacrifice himself on Dragon Ball Z
to destroy Cell and save Earth.

Oh my heart! 
Tommy even told me this was coming,
but I think I have a few more tears left for Goku!

"Cell was finally defeated,
the earth was saved,
thanks to a father's faith in his son.
Thanks for everything Goku!"


I think this makes me an official emotional nerd.
super.
