How Was Your Weekend?
I hope I remember this day for a long time.
Often, our days seem monotonous, hectic, or just unremarkable. I've had a lot of those lately--so many, actually, that I was starting to be afraid that life was giving up on me. Not fun.
This weekend, something changed.
Yesterday was a good day, but I've had a lot of good days. Jared and i were able to spend some quality time together, and we went furniture shopping and grocery shopping and did some stuff around the house. It was good day, but not an off-the chart-amazing day.
Today was an amazing day. I was really looking forward General Conference, and I wasn't disappointed. (General Conference is a Mormon thing--it's a televised meeting that happens twice a year. Leaders of our church speak, and the kids love it because we get to stay home and watch it on TV.) During college and at other times, I've looked forward to conference and been so uplifted by what I've heard. Today, I had that same experience and it was NOT monotonous or mundane or boring. It was beautiful and memorable and because of that I want to do and be better. I want to be able to meet God and say, "You blessed me, and I knew it, and I did everything I could to live worthy of those blessings and to show my gratitude." I want to hear "well done, thou good and faithful servant" and to know that those words are meant for me, not someone else. I need to get busy and be better.
