I realize I haven't written in a while. A long while. As for why this is, I have no reason, time has just been valuable lately, but I think that, for the most part, I have spent it wisely. Although, one can't help but love to have a few lazy days. (A lot, in my case.)
Between now and my last post, I have been doing... Close to nothing as far as pre-Christmas Break is concerned. AP Biology consumes my life, bahahah! Christmas Break was purrty righteous. I jumped in leaf piles, met new people, and danced it up like the chocolate man I am at a New Years' Eve dance our stake had. Michael has swag, that's fo sho haha.
I finally met my sister's friend Tanner, who is basically like the coolest dude ever and the little brother I never had. I think an adoption is necessary.
We are quite pro.
Ich brauche einen Haarschnitt.
School started again, but instead of weight training every day where I get giant muscles of muscularity, I'm in CHOIR now!!
And I pretty much...
LOVE IT.
It's so fun to sing, and it's something I just love to do, all the time, even if it's jokingly. In the car, walking to seminary, in a classroom, singing is just wonderful! I'm learning to appreciate a lot more as I learn all this new stuff about music in choir- how to see it, how to interpret it, how to think it, and how to feel it. I'm incredibly excited, just because I may have finally found something I enjoy doing in high school besides being around the people I love. It may not be a passion yet, but I love it already!
My sister and I just talked for like an hour about totally random stuff, and I'm so thankful to have her. She is one of the most important things to me, and I love how we can be whatever we are feeling like being at moment. WE ARE PRETTY MUCH THE COOLEST PEOPLE EVER. :D We were randomly bunnies/donkies, and such epic behavior could, of course, only be followed by much epic laughter! :) I love her.
At the end of my school day, I was able to feel really inspired by what was taught to me personally in seminary. Not by my teacher, as amazing as he is, but by the Spirit. I'm grateful that I was given the scripture in D&C 70:15-18. Everyone is going through hard times right now, and the world we live in doesn't make it easy for us to live the way we should, but I know that we can always receive Heavenly guidance if we just listen, take heed, and follow the commandments that the Lord gave us for our benefit, for a manifestation of all the ways in which He blesses us, and for a reward to us. Heavenly Father loves all His children so much, and He knows exactly what we're going through, and He is aware of our circumstances as shown by verse 16. God will allow us to be tried in ways that He sees fit, because He wants to see us grow! But I know that as we bring Heavenly Father into our lives and show Him that we want to draw closer to Him, we will be able to enter into the joy of His blessings and the eternal happiness that He has prepared for us. All we have to do is follow the Perfect Example.
