Scripture of the Day

Joshua 24:15 "And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord"

Why am I so impatient??? I have GOT to work on this.  Does anybody else need to work on this with me?? I was with a friend today making the cutest little craft... her little boy was there and he was really fussy today, he was tired but didn't really want to go to sleep... he wanted to sit on her lap. Did she freak out, yell or throw a fit??... NOPE!  She was all about talking sweet with him, giving him kisses and talking to him... ALL while he was crying.  Oh and did I mention we were doing a craft?  I was so impressed, because that wouldn't have been how I acted in that situation.

Conference was incredible.   One of the main things I learned was A LOT about the scriptures, especially the Book of Mormon. I need to be a whole lot better about studying and pondering what i've read. I have committed to be better at that. I am not going to write a lot about what I learned from conference today, what I am going to share with you is an AMAZING poem my sister-in-law wrote.  Keep in mind she is only 16, she is absolutely amazing at painting, writing and just about everything else.   {Please read all of it, it's just that great and worth it} Fake {Katrina Tolman} Fake faces buried under makeup, Fake hair in fake colors, I sit in the background of a fake world, Watching.
