Wow. Can life get better? I submit that it can not!

Wow.

That's all I can think right now. Wow. Life is incredible. I love life right now. I am so happy that I have been blessed with such an incredible singles ward. I went to a stake priesthood meeting last night and one of the guys in my ward spoke on our trip to Nauvoo. It was awesome because as he was talking I really felt that our ward was more of a family. When he mentioned people, I knew who he was talking about. Also, I went choir yesterday and we sang "Come Follow Me". It was awesome! Also, my relationship with God has been growing. I also am going to the Temple as much as I can. I try for once a week. So far so good! Love you all!

So...trying something new....

I decided that I am going to write a blog just on spiritual experiences that I have or spiritual thoughts that tend to pop in my head as I continue to grow spiritually. For the last little bit I have been Helping a friend of mine with some problems. She was severly sexually abused as a child and has been sexually abused for a lot of her life. She is a sex addict by force of habit. She got into drugs and alchohal to numb the pain of being used and not being loved. I wont write her name for obvious reasons. Since I have forsaken my personal issues with pornography I have been able to start to build that relationship with my Father in Heaven and I have been able to start helping others like my friend. It has been an awesome and humbling experience. Since I have started helping my friend she has said no to sex twice and prayed twice. She is having some problems with trusting God and I think that she has been making some awesome progress. It's been a blessing in my life to help her and I also got to see my cousin get married in the Bountiful Utah temple recently. It was incredible to see the pure love and joy between them that they both have for each other. It is such a blessing to have such amazing friends and family. My singles ward is the best! Farmington Hills Ward, YOU ROCK! Well i'm signing off for the day. I love you all! Peace out!

Hope!

Something I have been without for several years now. Yesterday I found it. Yesterday and today has just been awesome! I feel joy for the first time in a long time. I now know that I can defeat satan in any situation. I know that I have the power to beat him. I feel Joy now. More than ever before. I respect myself as a child of God. I respect women now too. It's awesome

Epic Fail

I am apparently not very good at all at keeping a journal. Something I will definetly have to work on. So, to make up for it I will just have to tell you all what has been going on with my life for the past fewish days. So, Saturday was fairly busy. I went to work for a while and then I had to head to a meeting. It was for a class called Sons of Helamen. It is a pornography addiction recovery class. Fun huh? lol. It actually is really fun! I hate having it in my life and I'm glad that this program was introduced to me. So, after that I went and picked up my family from work. Straight away I went to pick up a girl for a date. Her name is Julianne Wirthlin. When I got there her little brother cried when he found out that I was taking her out. He didn't want her to leave cause he loved her so much. It was SO cute. lol. So when we finally got out the door I took her to a local Chinese restaurant. We had some amazingly good food. Then we went to watch Leap Year and it wasn't there! We walked over to another theatre and they didn't have it either. It was so weird! So we ended up watching the blindside. It was REALLY good. It is a great feel good movie. I dropped her off and went home. Sunday, I went to church and had a blast. Church is always a great picker upper. I like to think of it as a drive through experience. You pull up, and drop off your garbage or money and get blessings or food. lol. So Monday was pretty fun as well. I got up showered and cleaned my room. Then I went job hunting. I stopped at DI. I got to say hi to some friends. It was pretty sweet. Then I went to work and came home and crashed. Today I woke p and went to school. I LOVE my class. It is SO much fun! So after school I went to my FIRST meeting with the Sons of Helamen. Saturday was just a pre deal. It was also really fun. The other kids there are so awesome. Anyway, after that I came home and started writing this. By the way,....i'm done writing this so See ya!

Day two in a row!

Progress! Today was pretty fun. I came to work and worked for a bit and then I went to school to learn some American sign language. We spoke about our different cultures and how we grew up. Then we talked about the deaf culture and what the differences are. We learned a lot about what hearing people have done to deaf people and how they have conflicted. For example, my teacher has hearing children. Having hearing children, he wants to do what's best for them and so he goes to a hearing ward. He says that he can feel the spirit, but without being able to understand what they say he feels that his spiritual growth is drastically lessened. Tough choice! So right now, I'm at work just helping some people as they come in. At the moment we are selling a Sanyo Mirro. It is a flip phone with a chrome finish. It's a pretty cool phone! I wonder if anyone reads this. Even if nobody does, it is still nice just to air out my experiences and feelings. Well, the last incognito just got sold. Bummer! I have a guy that wanted to get it tomorrow. Now it is 5:54 and I am ready to go home. To bad that I have to wait till 7. Ugh! I wish that at least had my ASL book so that I could study and do some homework! Even that would be more fun. Well, if I decide to add more to today then I will, but i'm publishing now so See ya!

My journal is not going well

I keep forgetting. This week has been hectic. We have received some new phones and they are selling BIG TIME. It certainly keeps one busy. We got them 2ish days ago and we are already sold out. We bought 15 of them. I bought one just cause they are so cool. One thing that has been going on in my life is stress. Often I just want to lay on my bed and sleep for a few days, but sleep doesn't come easy for me. I am a very restless sleeper and wake up multiple times in the night. Yet another reason to stay in bed. My mom and I aren't getting along very well as well. My mom believes (and she is probably right) that I am being lazy. Wanting to sleep and all the stress is a big factor on my laziness. My dad moved out and it has certainly been more quiet except for some spats that I caused. I was arguing with my mom and had to leave for the night. I was pretty upset. It was my fault. Not being trustworthy is big factor in my current relationship with my mom. Good news though! I'm going on a date with an awesome girl. I just wish that I was worthy of someone as good as her. Yet another reason to try and better myself. I also want to get better at my scripture reading and developing a relationship with my God. He has done so much for me and I have for the most part ignored Him. I hope to better that as well. Well, it is time for me to close up the store, so until tomorrow! Farewell and God bless

Journal

Starting today, I am going to try and write a journal on here. The crazy thing is that I got the idea from Julie & Julia. A really great movie by the way. I hope that anyone that reads this doesn't mind my life too mono dramatic. lol. I also hope that your feedback and comments might inspire me to do different activities. Last Sunday, in my singles ward I heard about a trip that we are going to be making. We will be going to Nauvoo and we will be walking in places were the Prophet Joseph Smith walked and where Jesus Christ our savior has walked. We will also visit Carthage Jail and many other amazing sights such as Adam Ondi Ahman. I am pretty excited for it. By the way, just for background, I work at a family owned store called Best Mobile that sells Boost Mobile phones. Today was hectic. It was almost a non-stop flow of people till just barely. I started at about 2:45 and it is 6:05. I sold my personal phone to someone who just couldn't wait for a black clutch. Now I am using a rickety dinky old POC phone. It was worth it though. They told me that they are going to suggest this store to every single one of their friends. I think that was worth selling my nice phone and having to use a crappy phone for a few days till I can buy a new phone. Writing down my feelings and experiences is really healing. I think I will go through with this. Wednesday was my birthday, it wasn't anything big or anything but it was fun. I just sold a Blackberry Curve. All I have to say is WOW. That is one SEXY phone. lol. Well, I have to close the store now, but I will say this. Life is tough and if you don't have God on your side, life is THAT much harder. Love you all.
