[Im]perfect

Its that feeling of inadequacy,
thinking you're not enough,
comparing yourself to others
only to wish you were more like them,
wishing for her clothes, her talents, her beauty, her man, her hair, her smarts, her personality, her life
but why become more like her when you can be you...
It took me some Sunday school lessons, along with a temple trip, and reading a friends words to realize that.

here would be some of those words I mentioned:
You have something she doesn't :)
You have your faith.
You have a light, bright as day, shining right within you.
You have the knowledge that you are not alone.
You have imperfections, which are most beautiful anyway.
You have strengths and talents no one has, maybe even you do not know them.
You are YOU.
Don't ever second guess yourself.
He knows what you are to do.
So go find that out.
And always remember, I love you.


It's so true! In the end it doesn't matter if I became perfect in their eyes, but that I can become perfect through Him... that I have divine qualities and purposes that I'm here on this earth to fulfill, and no one can stop me from reaching that potential.

Long Talks and Life

Talks are good. I believe there's a reason certain people are in my life.
 Incredible, spiritual, loving, kind, generous, magnificent people.  
And I'm not sure these people will ever realize the imense impact they have on my life. Like talking to me for hours on end, it's amazing how much better it makes you feel. It helps to just realize that others struggle with the same things you do, we're all going through this life with ups and downs. And sometimes we all just need a hug.
 IlovethosespontaneoushugsfromOthers :)
So yeah... right now my life is excellent. Going to the temple always just brings some extra light into your life, reading scriptures definitely helps your day go more smoothly, praying is the absolute best stress reliever, and life can be a great experience.  But of course there is still those hardships, the gospel just helps me put my problems into perspective.  Friends are such a great blessing, yet they can also become a terrific trial.  Which is just one more reason I so very much appreciate those true friends. So thanks...

JustWhatINeeded

This gospel is an amazing thing.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
What would I do without it?
Somehow the lessons always apply to my specific needs at that very moment
and Somehow my problems seem so small
and Somehow my prayers have been answered
and I've realized that Christ and Heavenly Father are there to pick you up when you are down
I love Sundays
and I love the temple
