trying to fix yesterday

I figured out what i was trying to say at one in the morning last night...

I realised how i had changed, or pretended to change, or tried to change. I realised that decisions and trials individually are very very very hard. At least for me they are. I re realised and more importantly applied the fact that if we do what we do in order to become closer to our father in heaven, then we can't really go wrong. Yes we will make mistakes, but we will not be Mess Ups! If our soul desire is to be the best we can be to return again to him then we will make it. It makes sense, if our strongest desire is to be better, and do good, then that is exactly what we will strive to do.

how do you know someone who says, "I really wish I could play the piano."? you know because they go out and learn! (kaity word i love you:)

The same applies to our lifes and our standing and where we are or where we want to be. If our desire is to become celestial, we will change and be amazing. Just like if our desire is to be to the most parties, and have the most fun, we will be sacrificing sleep and scripture study to get there...
If we keep the eternal as our perspective then making decision on whether or not cheat will be easy because we find our eternal state more important than our grade.
It will be easier to decide!

I am completely preaching to myself right now. Sometimes you have to do that, because sometimes your are the only person on the earth who can figure out your issues.

Wow! You are my sister. I think you speak on a higher level than what I understand. But I love it. I did understand half of what you said, but I will work on the other half another day! Have fun in Vegas. Tell mom and dad I love them. Thanks
