:] So there's this song called "If I Knew Then" and it's by Lady Antebellum.... I LOVE IT!!! :]
So, there's this boy. His name is Neil. :] And he makes me smile. Last night we went to dinner and we had a great time...I did NOT even want to leave him. Oh, and he's a VERY good kisser. Just in case you were wondering. Haha. I just LOVE my life right now! Work is going well, ONE MILLION times better than it was FOR SURE! :] My love life is fantastic! ;] And my family life is fabulous as well. I am just a happy camper. :][:
I am SO grateful for the person I am. I'm super thankful for every single trial that I've been able to overcome in my life. I would not be the person I am today without those trials and challenges. I can NOT thank my Heavenly Father enough. I know that I'm FAR FAR FAR from perfect but I'm grateful for the opportunity to repent and to be able to marry my man in the temple. :] Because when you know, you just know. And it's the best, BEST thing, EVER! :]]
Just yesterday I was reading a Facebook post written by a classmate from elementary. It was filled with comments about how "judgementle" (teehee) Mormons are. And they were saying how glad they were that they are able to think for themselves. And how they could think for themselves and they aren't "naive" enough to believe in any religious jargon and blah, blah, blah. And I just can't help but think HOW JUDGMENTAL ARE YOU BEING?!?! I mean, can you say HYPOCRISY?! And I can see their point, in some ways. I'm sorry for those people who can't see past race or clothing or hairstyles or whatever to be able to get to know who people really are. But this whole generalization of how "judgementle" Mormons are and how brainwashed every single person who believes in the church is. And I just want to say to them that the EXACT same things you hate about people who judge you are the same as why YOU judge that people/person. Every single person in the world is guilty of judging another for some reason or another. And I can agree with the speculation that some people just are incredibly judgmental, but I also believe that we are ALL human. NO ONE is perfect! But we all are ourselves, there are still SO many things that we need to overcome as a society. But ya know, they were fighting the same fight we are today since way back when Christ was on the earth. There's not going to be a day when we're all going to be able to agree on everything. That's the beauty of agency. I think that if Satan's plan was the one we were living right now, there'd still be complaining. It's how we work. But as for me, I'm going to strive to be the best person I can be and worry about me and my own. Because the only person I'm EVER going to be accountable for 100% is me. And I can't waste my life away worrying about what every other person on this earth thinks of me. Because in my eyes there's only one judgment time I need to worry about. And I can't be more grateful that I'm so naive and brainwashed to truly believe that. HA!
Loves loves. :]

Okay, so does this mean you're getting married? Or have you talked of marriage with Neil? I'm so intrigued!
ReplyDeleteThe best thing you can do to help people who think we are judgmental (as a religious group) is to be the type of person that they could never say that about. If we truly follow Christ then we won't ever say anything bad about anyone. We will love everyone, regardless. It's a big order to fill, but I don't think it's impossible. If we look past the outside and only see the child of God within, then we will give our love freely, without condemnation. I think as a church, we all need to work on being better about that. I know I do. :) Thanks for the reminder.
Haha! No, I'm not getting married....yet. Yes we have talked about it :]
ReplyDeleteAnd I completely agree with you. :] I need to be reminded every day. :]
