This Should.

This should bore you to tears.
This should eat at your conscience.
This should force a laugh to burst out.
This should make you shudder with sadness.
This should light an angry flame in your heart.
This should make you feel like you can conquer the world.
This should confuse your muddled mind.
This should soften your stubborness.
This should make you pity me.
This should annoy you to no end.
This should be everything you want to know.
This should blow you away with surprise.
This should be pathetic enough to roll your eyes.
This should be more than you think.
This should sway your opinion.
Give me some kind of reaction.

To my Sisters in Relief Society.

I love Relief Society. It is an organization ordained of God. As the Relief Society we are not only standing for those close to us but for everyone through out this world. We are here to humbly pave the way for the 2nd coming. We are organized to lift others up. To be a light in the midst of darkness. We are something great when we work together and aim high. We are on the Lord's Side. Ready to heed his counsel and follow dilligintly. We are ready to help lead the way for any who may be lost. We are here to bring relief to anyone in our family, our ward and our community.
"We are going to do extraordinary things. We expect extraordinary occasions and pressing calls." (Emma Smith) The Lord is leaving the responsibility to us. He will help us as we heed his counsel. As Emma Smith prepared her women for extraordinary times to follow we are being prepared as well. Changes have already been made as the number of sister missionaries being called to serve grow.  You may be going through trying times but soon you will come out with more value than pearls or diamonds. Many will come far to see the works you have accomplished as a Relief Society.
We stand together, with love, charity and kindness in our hearts, humbly willing to serve the Lord. These are your sisters. These are the women who will impact lives. Look to them, learn from them, trust them. Heavenly Father is ready to work miracles through you. Be ready to stand before him ready to work hard. I love you because I have felt the love our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ have for you. They know who you are. They know what you need. They know your strengths and weaknesses.
We have repeated over and over again in young women's "We love him...We stand by him". We are ready to serve him. Open your heart and your mind. Listen to his promptings and trust the Lord your God, the All-Knowing, All-Powerful and All-Loving Creator. If you follow him, you can never go wrong. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Why I Blog.

Maybe I am not the best blogger.
Which might be because I don't exactly have anything important to say.
Anything worth hearing.
But hey,
At least I have a place to write my feelings.
I tell people what I write isn't about me.
It is just stories that I want to tell.
Words I thread together.
Although the more I read what I write,
the more I have realized that deep down
underneath the stories and the words
is a little piece of myself.
Writing is how I piece together what's in my mind.
Words never come out right from my mouth.
But they sure can form right on paper.

Little Things.

Nothing can quite compare to the feeling of accomplishment that comes when you make the right choice. Especially when that right choice is a hard one. These choices, whether seemingly little and unimportant, define our entire life. These choices construct our being, like the atoms and cells under a microscope, together they form you. Who you are and what you say, where you go and what you do. It's all in the little things.
