November

This November has gone by so quickly. So busy. So trying. This is what I have learned during this month.

1.) Time goes by when you are busy. This month we have painted our living room, Primary Program (super stressful), guests staying over; which includes cleaning and setting up the room, cleaning after the guests have gone, and then setting it back up for other guests and repeat. It has been exhausting, but very fun.

2.) Events in this months has really taught me the power of the atonement. What an amazing gift it is. To be able to put our sins in the Lord's hands. Repent, and be forgiven of them. This month has truly been a soul searching month. I don't think I have ever understood or appreciated the atonement and gospel as much as I do now. It has really taught me to never judge a person by their sins, addictions, weaknesses, and trials. You never know what they are doing to fix it, what they are truly going through.

The knowledge of the gospel is not about what a person has done, or who they were; but rather what they are doing to fix what they've done, and who they are becoming. Isn't that just amazing? So much hope, so much joy in that. This month has truly has given me so much to be thankful for.

3.) I can not wait for this year to be over. Yes, many of my lessons of this month have been good, and uplifting. But this month has been so stressful, and emotionally trying, faith testing..... everything. I can not wait till it's all over. I'm ready for a break.

Next month should be better. Think to look forward to:

My birthday (big ole 23)
My anniversary (already 4 years)
Christmas (in Tennessee with family!!)
New Years Eve (and that includes a party)

Thanks for reading. Stay tuned. Remember God loves you, He truly does!
