For Whoever Suffers



Writing a post on a blog that no one reads or cares about is surely the way to communicate the things I want to tell my family and friends. 

Don't worry, sarcasm hand is raised.

I don't mind that no one reads this.  That's not the point of it.  The reason why I sporadically write this blether is because I like to write and why not write certain things so that anyone else could find them at any given time?

But I'm becoming side-tracked.  The reason for this post is simple.  I have a friend who suffers and knows what they need to do in order to not suffer.  At this point in time, they are still trying to decide whether or not they want to continue on suffering because being happy is hard work and maybe it's too hard for them.

We all come to this point in our lives.  There is always a time when we are brought low, sometimes more than once, in order to make the decision we were sent here to make; happy for eternity? or happy for this short moment in time?

No one else can make this decision for us.  There is no support system of people or fiction strong enough to give us a semblance of stability while we make this choice.  This choice decides our eternal futures.

I pray that whoever suffers in the world will choose to be happy for eternity and then will search for the path to that eternity.  It does exist.  I promise you.

Foolish in Life

Bilings, Montana LDS Temple
I have said silly things, things that need not have been said.  I have told people too much about myself and let too many of my foolish thoughts out into the world.  But that's okay.

Maybe it's the way I am, maybe I'm just young and that's how it's going to be until I grow older and more at home with myself.  I don't know, but either way I am okay with it. 

I'm happy with mistakes.  I'm happy with bad decisions and silly choices.

Because that is life.  That is why I came here.  I came to this earth with everyone else trying to make myself into something great.  I left my Father in Heaven and everyone I knew and loved to experience pain and peace and joy and sorrow.  I came to be more like my Father.  And hopefully, through the atonement, I can attain the things I want.  I can move on to the next stage of life with joy and hope and the glory of God shining all around.

I don't know what this life will bring me.  I don't know what is to come for me.

But I know that through God's mercy and love, I can accomplish anything.


Goodness I sound so Christian hahahaha.
