You need to learn how to select your thoughts just the same way you select your clothes every day. This is a power you can cultivate. If you want to control things in your life so bad, work on the mind. That’s the only thing you should be trying to control.

There’s some fear involved in doing what you love. I get up every morning and I look at that fear and say to myself, ‘I’m doing what I love today,’ and that gets me through the day.

At the end of the week.

This week was fantastic overall. I will post the final, completed goals tomorrow but here is my “check-in” for today.

This morning I did my scripture study and 10 minutes of indexing. I had to do 10 minutes because my roommate Hunter came in yesterday to talk and I didn’t finish more than about a minute of indexing yesterday.

So, 57 submitted this week. 943 to go.

Day 2!!!

Good news!!! I did not wake up at any point last night with a coughing attack! I think this cold is really working it’s way out.

This morning in the scriptures was glorious. As I am reading I am feeling this…absolute joy. I am so grateful for them.

This morning I read Alma 4 and a piece of a lesson in the Old Testament Institute Manual. It is really helping me understand some of the confusing bits in the Old Testament. Right now I am in Exodus 20 reading about the 10 commandments. Here is a link to the section I’ve been reading over the past few days.

Also this morning I did my 5 minutes of indexing. I am working on an immigration record. Almost all of the names are Norwegian so there are a lot of Hans, and Jorg etc. There was a really awesome name this morning though: Odd Paul. Yep, that was his name. Wonderful right? If you are interested in doing indexing (it is super fun) here is the link to the website.

I hope you are all having a good morning I sure am. This morning my baby sister leaves for California to go on tour with her ballroom dance team. Good day!

Starting off right…

Well, this morning I am working on all of those goals I set on Sunday.

Here is my “TO DONE” list since I woke:
- read scriptures
- equivalent of 5 minutes indexing. Because I didn’t index yesterday I actually did 10 minutes today.

Now to the shower, homework, and off to class.

Guess what! It is only 7 am! Good day ahead!!!

Gone but not lost

Is it really February? Time is going by too fast. It seems that there is so much to do and yet so little time.

When I started this blog I was definitely better about updating it than I have been but one of my goals this week is to be better about updating regularly.

In fact, why don’t I just hammer out this weeks goals eh?

1. First and foremost - read my scriptures everyday.
2. Catch up and complete all schoolwork that I am currently behind on. This includes finishing Thursday’s story-boarding project ASAP.
3. Attend the temple Thursday night.
4. Do the equivalent of 5 minutes of indexing or family search everyday this week.
5. Get things organized and stick to chore chart.

I would have some more “physical” goals but I’ve literally been in bed for the past week with this little winter cold from Hades, so I am just going to focus on making it from bed to work and class this week.

I DID IT!!!!!

On December 1st, 2011 I set a lot of goals.  One of those goals was to go to the temple 52 times - the equivalent of once a week.

I completed that goal yesterday.

In just under a year.

Wow.

That feels amazing.

Starting on December 1st, 2012 I’m going to start again!

Happy Sunday!

Just flicking through some of the pages of my copy of the Book of Mormon, and stopping by at the chapters in 2nd Nephi where it starts the comparisons with Isaiah. FYI I haven’t read the full Book of Mormon just yet, I know but I’m in the process of finishing up soon, don’t judge me, but I think I’ve read the whole start up to these few chapters of 2nd Nephi about 100000000 times, and just couldn’t be bothered at continuing on because I just didn’t get it at all .. but that’s why I’ve written this in my BOM to remind me to just “Keep reading..” - Boyd. K Packer, on top of that statement, I urge you all to also “Keep praying .. for understanding” <3
