Reflections and news

So, it's been a while, cyberspace friends, since I last wrote an entry here. And, boy, a lot of things has happened. Some drama, some change in perspective and goals, some realization that the only thing to do is trust in God, and some fun and happiness.

But first things first. I moved today. From one Provo location, to a new Provo location. Go me! And as I'm sitting here in my new bedroom, listening to one of my roommates listen to her music, the first thing that comes to mind is that this room is probably a tad bigger than my last room. And that I'm really fortunate to have found this place. Church starts at nine, which, to be honest, will probably be rough for a few weeks. I'm also grateful for my family and friends to help me out get moved in and buy new things (a bookcase and small night stand.) And, yes, I do believe this room is just a little bit longer...

These last few months I realize that some people are really crazy and expect impossible things to happen. Sometimes I put too much pressure on myself to "hang onto" relationships. Time to let go, folks. Time to let go.

I reread some books and realized I'm more of a Blue personality than I thought. And it doesn't help when all of my hormones are out of whack. But being emotional doesn't mean I'm a bad person. It just means that I'm a person.

Sometimes good things happen in the midst of trials. I'm stronger than I think I am, and I can handle stressful situations better than I would have a few years, and maybe even a few months, ago. Repentance is a wonderful thing to achieve, especially after going through some lows. And trusting in blessings that they'll come true is a scary but exhilarating process.

I'm looking forward to the new possibilities in my new place. I'm looking forward to spending these last two months of 2010 here even though I don't know hardly anyone in this ward. I'm looking forward to finishing up the Book of Mormon again. It was an unexpected move, but in some ways, I think this will be the best move I've made in a while.

And look at me, going on a like I haven't written in awhile.

Till next time!
