<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I’ve received this two fold question multiple times,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
which encourages me to share some of my journal entries with you. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Perhaps it will help you along your own path, if not, it’s my own record.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
1. How did you meet Jack?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
2. And where can I find someone like him?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
To address the second one first; Facebook! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
All your sorrows, worries, lonely nights and worldly cares can<br />
<br />
be swept away by your online presence.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Okay now that I’ve got the joke out of the way, let’s talk about fishing. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
As you know, I’m a Mormon, a “young single adult Mormon” </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
and I’m 30, </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
so I may fall into some stereotypes in your mind. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I’ll let you go there if needed.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
"Why is she not married?"<br />
<br />
SIMPLE:<br />
<br />
EVERYONE THAT WANTS TO MARRY ME,<br />
I DONT WANT TO MARRY.<br />
<br />
AND EVERYONE I WANTED TO MARRY,<br />
DIDNT WANT TO MARRY ME,<br />
<br />
Not to hard of formula right,<br />
<br />
The law of attraction remains in force.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
After my mission, I wanted to be married,<br />
<br />
so I started to have thoughts that lead unto actions unto marriage.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
If I saw a cute guy, </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I spoke with him and tried to build a friendship.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
That was my goal…....for the past decade.<br />
<br />
And 3, 300 Facebook friends later and</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
a looming graduation from the singles ward<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
(by not being married)<br />
<br />
I knew that was only one thing I could do,<br />
<br />
There is really only one thing I had control over: </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Keep fishing</span>.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
I had dated enough to know what I DID NOT WANT.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
This was a very safe place for me, </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
because as I avoided what I didn’t what, the possibilities</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
of what I wanted grew and grew.<br />
<br />
Some search for exactly what they want. That wasn't me.<br />
<br />
Who was I to declare such expectation to the confusing and busy world?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Throughout the friend-turn-crush-turn-relationship-sometimes-turn-friendzone process </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I had so many good experiences.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
By staying away from what I didn't want, I was introduced to the threshold of uncertainty<br />
<br />
to know if I really wanted something or not in a potential suitor.<br />
<br />
<br />
If I said that I would only date guys taller than me, </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
my last three relationships and boyfriends, never would have happened. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Just the fact that I went through those prepared me to receive Jack. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I will note that at one time in my life, I did have unrealistic expectations.<br />
Ask about that one, perhaps it would generate a another blog post.<br />
<br />
anyways</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
. (My last two boyfriends were a quarter of an inch shorter). </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I truly felt it, being open and know what I didn't want<br />
<br />
was one of my way of communicating to the Lord that Celestial Marriage </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
was important enough to me. Another key element was remaining honest and worthy.<br />
<br />
I wanted to see what</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
He might place in my path.<br />
<br />
I wanted my faith to grow.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Disclaimer here. Although being taller, I was not uncomfortable, I just didn’t love it. If you’re not comfortable doing certain things (1. dont do them, 2. Go talk to my mission president)<br />
<br />
My mission president will tell you,<br />
ELDER, be comfortable with being uncomfortable.<br />
<br />
I learned pretty easy that this is true, as an 8 yr. old politician’s daughter,<br />
<br />
going door to door,<br />
<br />
petitioning voters to vote and<br />
<br />
vote for Neil Hansen November 4<sup>th</sup>.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Back to fishing.</span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I need to have a fishing pool in every spot I felt like there might be a catch…. NOT a fish, A CATCH.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
So I signed up for LDS singles account and even fell inlove once.<br />
<br />
I met tons of great guys<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
along with some creeps,<br />
<br />
but the odds were there. but it was FISHING.. or finding in Jack's words.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
If I was dating every weekend there were going to be fish I would throw back.<br />
<br />
And perhaps even a catfish.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Side note to all you players. All you professional fisherman for life.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
In Alaska, I went Salmon fishing, laws restricted me from</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
keeping more than two fish, so each catch I reeled in<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I had to examine if this was indeed the fish I would fly back to Utah.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Being deliberate and investigating was key!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I signed up on Tinder and went out with<br />
<br />
tons of guys that were afraid of online dating!<br />
<br />
As if a mobile app soften the reality that fishing must happen to make things happen.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Ha. One guy even told me that he wasn't interested in me because of my body type.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Threw that fish back fast. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
No a big deal, no offense taken, I’m looking for a <span style="font-size: x-large;">catch</span> not a fling. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
The week I meet Jack,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I had 3 tinder dates set up, </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
which I think it’s exactly what you should<br />
<br />
be doing if you haven’t caught the catch you want.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I attended the singles ward regularly;</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I complimented guys to their face.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I gave them what I call “EXTRA ATTENTION”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
If I wasn’t sure how I felt about them but wondered if there was potential,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I’d bake them cookies, no wait,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I would buy them store bought cupcakes or a tie.<br />
<br />
I'd examine that fish to see it was a potential catch.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Now that may be over the top,<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
but it never hurt me.<br />
<br />
and it never hurt the guy that I pursued.<br />
<br />
Once, a rumor was given to be that a guy liked me..<br />
<br />
He was a catch.. I found out all his favorite smoothie and ice cream shops.<br />
<br />
I bought gift cards in the exact amounts of 2 servings, so he could take me out<br />
<br />
when he found out I thought he was a catch.<br />
<br />
I took these to his house. I heart attacked his door!<br />
<br />
I video taped...<br />
<br />
Days later I found out he had NO interest in me.<br />
<br />
Ha.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I even allowed myself to be rejected which happened softly more than not,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">but it didn’t matter because</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> I was trying to find a catch! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">And I wanted alot of experiences that would provide me with the knowledge and faith to know.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Fishing take times and patience and understanding.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
It gives you time to ponder.<br />
The important thing to remember is that<br />
<br />
certain bait attracts certain fish. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
My divorce guy friend text me last week: A<br />
<br />
LL GIRLS ARE BAD BLAH BLAH BLAH…</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
. I didn’t respond… What was he using for his bait?</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Once I had my fishing polls in my spots, </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I tried to put my best foot forward which mainly consisted of</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
being myself and being honest with myself and my intentions.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Six months ago at a stake activity, </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
my stake president pulled me aside and through my tears</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I shared how hard fishing was for me. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I felt that I had great bait but all these fish we<br />
aren’t the fish that would be good for me to take home.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Me Me Me, my problems…<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Then he said it: Sister Jenny, I want you to do something, okay?<o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
“Yes, President, what is it?”<br />
I knew I had to answer yes because I needed to exercise faith.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
“Each guy that you go out with,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I want you to think, <span style="font-size: x-large;">“This could be the one.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
That thought alone freaked me out. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Why would he tell me that?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
And then I knew why it freaked me out, I never do that.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
So it began, and the best advice I can give you from following that advice is that I knew exactly where not to fish, when I was lonely, I would still spend time with guys that didn’t even have the same standards or thinking or values or lifestyle that I wanted to have. That advice kept me safe.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
And the timing was perfect.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
And two months later my lovely awesome” recycled teenage” bishop (not my dad)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
but my singles ward Bishop </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
gave me the key advice to unlocking my heart.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
When you are single and 30 in the church,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I would hope that the business of getting married </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
has been filled with a decade<br />
of life experiences, trials, down falls, and goodness. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
My bishop knows me as a wedding photographer,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
as most of my blessed clients come from that pool. He said to me:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Look at your life, look at your business, the business of your life;</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
all you need is ONE investor. You’ve interviewed a ton of applicants; </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
you’ve even had final interviewers pass way.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Treat you’re dating like a business and the Lord will provide.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Those are not his exact words exactly</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
, but none the less the words he spoke came into my heart. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I don’t think limiting your application process<br />
or interviewing is even safe<br />
if you haven’t been in a couple semiserious relationships,<br />
if you haven't been in a serious relationship,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
your business is young and you need to grow it through experiences.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
But for me, having had serious relationship and countless dates, </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
the Lord knew I needed to hear it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">So I kept fishing.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Flash back to my mission. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
There was a bishop that had an older daughter that wanted to be married,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
so as a family they gathered together to perform a family fast;</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
they fasted for her and sure enough within the right timing, </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
she was married.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I had a boyfriend that sent me on a mission, </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
but when I heard that story, my first thought was:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I’m going to have to ask my family to do that.<br />
<br />
Again exercising faith.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Ha-ha…<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
And then September of this year came and something unique happened.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
My sister in law wanted to sell their house and suggested a family fast. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
We all added our plea; we all prayed that our will would line up with the Fathers.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Many things were written down for each family unit.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Landing a job that was sought after for 10 years, </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
selling a house to a buyer that would be an asset to the neighborhood, </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
buying a home,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">finding a husband</span>,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
( I skipped the boyfriend request.)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
enjoying the responsibility of homework,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
and magnifying calls within the church.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
and some other things.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
One by one, these things have been brought to pass.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
During that family fast, </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
we broke it together as a family<br />
<br />
and I told everyone how great this guy was that<br />
<br />
I had only been on one date within three months.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I even thought be liked me.haha.<br />
<br />
Which I didnt know at the time, do we ever?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
A month passed by and I saw a<br />
<br />
Facebook group titled: LDS MIDSINGLES OF THE WORLD. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Wow, another good fishing spot.<br />
<br />
There were 3,000 plus members in here fishing.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I saw that Jack posted something about being judged as a player, </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
which immediately caught my attention, </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
because I knew that he knew<br />
how to fish or FIND fish and I was in that same business too. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
But I did not think anything of him or<br />
<br />
even of him requesting my friendship on Facebook, </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
he lived in Kentucky and more importantly, </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I had a crush on a guy that didn’t even like me back and that was draining.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
So we spoke here and there and a weekend passed and<br />
I told my bishopric wives about this awesome guy<br />
who I didn’t know that he didn’t like me back,<br />
but these wise women knew, specifically,<br />
I will name drop the saint, Lydia Tribe said:<br />
Don’t text him back,<br />
if he is interested he will gather up the gust to do so.<br />
I hated hearing that,<br />
I had given him loyal extra attention and our one date was fun! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
On paper it was perfect, </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
thats what I thought.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
So I took her advice…</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
and days passed....with no response!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
awesome.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
The next week, Jack had stalked my photography page and I gave him my number. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
We spoke on the phone for at least an hour the first night and every night it was longer.<br />
<br />
Now days we skype endlessly.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
From the get go, everything was so natural that<br />
<br />
we asked each other the heavy questions.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Finances, raising kids, education, commitment to covenants.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
And we felt the same, and when we Skype we just stared at each other.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Our light and knowledge was so aligned, </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
that we still grow together each day,<br />
and the unique thing about having the same goals is that it gives<br />
<br />
you every ample opportunity to become one when you have a difference of opinion.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Deciding who you want to be with for eternity should be fun and exciting.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
It should be taken serious through your preparation and willingness.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Heavenly Father knew my heart and I just tried my best, </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
often failing in my mind,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
to keep my fishing pools in the water regardless of the season of my life.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
And maybe even when I didn't want to.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
This is being comfortable being uncomfortable.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
It was important to me to do<br />
EVERYTHING<br />
in my power to be led to a catch,<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
thank goodness I didn’t throw it back<br />
<br />
thinking there might be something better, </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
or thinking that another fish was wading away<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
around another fishing hole.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
The difference between fishing and dating is<br />
<br />
that once that fish is pulled out of the water </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
you are responsible to investigate it thoroughly<br />
enough to know to keep it or not,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
if you haven’t fish a lot, </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
there may need to be more investigating.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
The more experiences you have reeling in the fishing<br />
or being the fish reeled in prepares<br />
you for what you need to learn and become. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Allow these experiences. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
That’s one reason why we are on earth, to gain earthly experience.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">One of my favorite girls asked me about Dopamine. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">You see I've been feeling it alot lately and pondering about it too.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">The question is, Dopamine, needed? or over rated?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">I loved getting asked this.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">And a week ago I was asking myself the same thing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Can I trust the emotions associated with Dopamine?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Lets talk a walk with Dopamine real quick to sort out the reality of it's potential.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">"Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that helps control the brain's reward and pleasure centers. Dopamine also helps regulate movement and emotional responses, and it enables us not only to see rewards, but to take action to move toward them."</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">So we know it as a simple organic chemical. Yet, deficiency of this chemical can lead to Parkinson's disease, so in that regard, yes, Dopamine is not over rated and lots of great research shows the benefits of it.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">We need dopamine in the right place </span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">at the right time </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">in the right amounts. </span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">When it all comes together, we are the awesom-est person around. </span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">We, or I shall speak for me. I feel so enriched by the world around me,</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large; line-height: 20px;">and I just can't stop smiling.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large; line-height: 20px;">There is always something to be grateful for.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large; line-height: 20px;">Can dopamine increase our gratitude?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large; line-height: 20px;">Its happening to me now.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large; line-height: 20px;">It's really the opposition of emotions that can generate more dopamine.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large; line-height: 20px;">You know happiness because you have experience sadness.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Dopamine will motivate us, </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">and it is the driving neurotransmitter in competitive behaviors. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">It should be found in every romantic relationship.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Not in an competitive, I'll beat you at this crossfit workout, but a competitive edge to want to be your best self as you serve and love your significant other.</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;">And this dopamine should be there from the get go.. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;">ESPECIALLY from the get go.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;">That's what turns one date into two dates and so on and so forth.</span></span><br />

I wrote you an email today. Because my heart missed you. I
couldn’t actually finish the email. so I just hit send and sat there for a
minute.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
How is heaven? You don’t visit me as much anymore and I can
only imagine you are busy in the spirit world.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
My little brother
introduced this song to me and it sounded like the eighties so I put it on
replay for a couple years… I mean minutes.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
It was the only natural to repeat it and re live it as often
as possible.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
It reminded me of you and I wondered if you would like the
guy I have a crush on.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
He is a good one, its early still but he has a really loving
heart like you. There is a sense of empathy you gave me, now, </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I carry it<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
With me and I pay it forward whenever I can.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I just wanted to tell you that I love you and miss you and
that love and missing you helps me to love others.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I can’t think of a <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Greater gift you gave me than your heart. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I hope to grow a
sensitivity to people like you.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Miss you.<o:p></o:p></div>

There's power in wanting.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There's confidence in being wanted.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we want something, how do we allow that people to feel that are wanted more than</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
anything else.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How do we give the attention to what we really want.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And how do we know what we really want.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We search, we grow, some things seek us out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Other times it just happens naturally.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To be wanted. mutually.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
How can we know?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To a certain degree, we can't and that is where faith comes in.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's an obligation to seek out the Lord's Will for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will not blindly accept everything I hear.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am expected to search.. and that is why my happiness comes from.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Confidence in God needs to happen from within in.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Blind Self security is where the hope lies.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I BELIEVE HE WILL REVEAL MANY GREAT AND IMPORTANT THINGS</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
PERTAINING TO THE KINGDOM OF GOD.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If I lack wisdom, I can ask of Him.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We can be corrected through our relationship to Heavenly Father,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The light and knowledge is there, its just needs to be received by seekers of truth.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In this manner, we learn truth grows through light and knowledge.</div>

<br />Jenny Hansen Lanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02616905624552805241noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1821929957991846753.post-4411628836478892722012-12-28T16:16:00.000-07:002012-12-28T16:16:27.080-07:00Trust me, I love you.<br />
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
We all have a little bit of dysfunction in our
lives.</div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
This is normal, because we are normal </div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
and we are natural to mistakes and
poor choices.</div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
But what if we could target our dysfunction by</div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
getting to the
root of why and how we make mistakes.</div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
I speak, mostly and almost always by way
of the Gospel of Jesus Christ,</div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
for there is no dysfunction there, only errors
made by humans, </div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
some striving to perfect their lives through the doctrines and
taught</div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
and others disregarding the opportunity to grow. </div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
So I’ll mention the following by relating it
to a tree,</div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
our lives as a tree and the roots that allows us to function well.</div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
One of the greatest types of dysfunction in our lives is the absence of trust. </div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
The type of trust I talk about is the trust that has </div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
the ability to make us
very vulnerable. </div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
If you know me, you know, I’m all about vulnerability.</div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
For me personally,
I have been able to live and</div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
grow and breathe more freely as I understood </div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
my own vulnerabilities,</div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
inside the gospel and outside. Even though there is </div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
not much to me outside of the gospel, it's in my genes.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
When
we choice to trust someone, namely God or another person, </div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
we initiated moments
and beginnings to become completely</div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
comfortable with that person.</div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
This trust
takes one step further in understanding our own </div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
personal strengths and our weaknesses.
This trust is about being</div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
willing and available </div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
to the person we trust, with
our strengths and weaknesses.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
You
see, I am far from where I would like to be </div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
when it comes to trusting God and
Christ.</div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
If my trust were perfect in them, anytime the Holy Ghost would touch my
heart and mind with things</div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
that I needed to change, I would change them.</div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
Sadly,
I still struggle with my weakness of trust, but I do know when I have come to
the Lord with my weaknesses and asked him for help, I was guided and even
delivered.</div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
Sometimes we don’t recognize the power of trust when it comes to
becoming our potential.</div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
True trust in our Loving Heavenly Father is having the
confidence and comfort ability to be completely reliant on His Character, His
abilities and redeeming Atonement. </div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
As we exercise trust,</div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
it creates
experiences. </div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
Experiences of trusting Heavenly Father and even other people, is
what binds us to them. </div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
Hence, we need trust and we need to be trusted. </div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
It’s a
doctrine that takes time to develop and yet no time to lose. </div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
But it’s important
we don’t get caught in the trap that trust once it’s broken can never be
regained.</div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
Through proper repentance and restitution, the binding that was once
there can be healed and through steadfast work, rebuilt.</div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
But that’s the irony
of this dysfunction.</div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
The absence of trust can break a bind, and that can change
everything. </div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
Do I trust the Lord enough, to repent of the things I need to?</div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
Can I ever get back to that point?</div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
Yes, its between me, an imperfect person, and God, a perfected being.</div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
It is when we implement characteristics and the nature of God into</div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
our own personal lives, are we able to overcome and truly become.</div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
For
trust to weld or bind itself in my mind, </div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
yes, I must trust Him in all things,</div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
including His timing and power to restore my trust to and even in him. </div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
I use the word TRUST because I know before I came to earth;</div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
my trust in Him was whole.</div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
I know this,
because I chose His plan and I trusted in His plan for me. </div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
Trust, as defined
above becomes a power</div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
, when people know and acknowledge that one and</div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
nobody
else is pretending to be something they are not.</div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
They come to the table, lay
upon it, </div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
their weaknesses and even their strengths and there,</div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
the trust begins
to bind. </div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
When we enable trust in our relationship,</div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
we avoid a close friend of
dis trust and that is fear.</div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
Fear of conflict, fear of failure. </div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
We may know this
so called friend all too well. </div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
When we have relationship that is difficult to
harvest trust,</div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
it’s difficult to engage in any type of conflict or resolution.</div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
I don’t use conflict as a negative term.</div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
I have a relationship with the Holy
Ghost. </div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
When I was 8 yrs. old, it was bestowed upon me by the laying on of hands </div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
by a worthy priesthood holder, who happened to be my father. </div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
Scripture taught
me that as long as I keep God’s commandments, </div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
the Holy Ghost would be my
constant companion. </div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
These scriptures taught me that I needed to exercise faith
in the messages or </div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
promptings and impressions the Holy Ghost might whisper into
my heart.</div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
And so it began, I would read scriptures about the Savior and his
ability</div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
to heal the wounded and peace would encompass my heart and mind,</div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
it led
me to know of the truthfulness of the scriptures and so it continued. </div>
<div class="RogersParticipantsList" style="text-align: center;">
This was
me, trusting the Holy Ghost.<o:p></o:p></div>

I feel spoiled to be loved, but it seems I get so much out of loving.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Doing the love.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll love on you, all the days long.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You should try it,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
especially while everything all falls down.</div>

It's day 43 without sugar.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've made it through the holidays with simple sugar found in cottage cheese,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
fresh fruit and a handful of nuts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yesterday I implemented some dried blueberries,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and some other mixed fruit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I am limiting myself to 20 grams of sugar </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
each day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sugar is in everything, veggies, fruit, and diary.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
did you know:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
SUGAR CAN CONTRIBUTE TO DEPRESSION!?!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
yikes.</div>

Merry Christmas you filthy animals.</div>

Three years ago today you left the earth,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or you at least exited your body.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It stopped breathing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I felt like I stopped too. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And when I was breathing, I thought I would dare die</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
from all the horrid tears that seem to bleed from my heart.<br />
<br />
It never seemed to stop, for years.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Three years ago today, it all fell down.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Even though I was told that you were above.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It all fell down.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
and after it fell down, it fell apart.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I still bowed my head toward the Lord.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And you still loved me in my weakness to overcome or</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
even slightly bear the grief that would lay near me each crisp morning and each long late lonely<br />
<br />
dark night.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The heavy winter presses itself against</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
all that I held dear. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I did it alone, alone without you, yet I remained alive, and that little</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
seed of life I held dear, began to grow stronger.<br />
<br />
I grew into a Rhythm, my own beat that began to attract<br />
<br />
things that were never attractive before.<br />
<br />
I was given new eyes, ears, but not a new heart, not yet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sunday came, each week, even when everything else all fell down.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My love for others exploded, it consumed me like a fire.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I needed to be near people.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to warm people.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to be near something warmer than winter.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So it's been three years, and my heart has made its path into new love, new light.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been loved in ways I didn't know existed, you did this while you were alive and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
mercifully, I felt it in your death.<br />
<br />
You became a better part of my life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And your death became my life, in a fairly healthy way.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes, this note may sound not healthy, and unfair, but I've been watched over</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and chastened to feel more love and grow in happiness.<br />
<br />
No doctor could give me this gift.<br />
<br />
No medication could transcend my life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The happiness felt through opposition, a dynamic teacher.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have tried to fall in love since you died.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sometimes it didn't work, sometimes I forced it, other times, I thought I would fake it until I made it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All along this path, I did my true best to be loyal to the Lord and His Will for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it's been tricky...even still.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Still......</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You would think three years could mend the hemorrhage in my heart. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I've learned, its not about mending, its about building.<br />
<br />
It's about binding myself to Him.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Building upon all the good, bad and ugly we endure in life and finding ways to smiles</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
through the adaptation that maybe life doesn't turn out the way we imagined or even hoped it would.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I write you now... on your anniversary death to let you know, I'm doing well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel so alive. I feel fairly fulfilled with all the endeavors I have pursued.<br />
<br />
even with the ones I have yet to flesh out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And the secrets out, Josh, my life gets better. every.single.day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My life means more to me because I knew you and because I fell in love with you</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and you taught me how to not judge and how to make a grilled cheese sandwich,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
because you loved me back and spoke my secret language of silence.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't wonder what the spirit world is like.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't wonder anymore what it is like to function only as a spirit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't even question our reunion.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am more stuck in this obsession we call life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm trying to experience it all, in it's reality of peaks and pits</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and love and heart aches.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You'd be pleased with me, just as I am with you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You are with one of my neighbors,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my grandparents,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my soccer coach, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
one of my soccer friends,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and my childhood bishop that passed </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
away yesterday during his Sunday nap.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You are all still present in your presence, yet not mortally available.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You live on no matter how cold or lonely I get.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The beat of Eternity continues in one eternal round, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
sweeping up all the grief the world has felt, even in this past week.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Particles of what could have been are engulfed into the </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
encircling arms of the One who gave us life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We ache, but we have the option to ache in the loving arms of the One</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
who has gone before us and suffered all that we know, all that we strive to become and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
all that we never make it out to be.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">not to escape the test but to endure it well."</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times; font-size: large;">"The Savior’s Atonement </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times; font-size: large;">and Resurrection</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times; font-size: large;"> give Him the power to deliver</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times; font-size: large;"> us in such a trial.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times; font-size: large;"> Through His experience He came </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times; font-size: large;">to know all our griefs. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times; font-size: large;">He could have known them by </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times; font-size: large;">the inspiration of the Spirit. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times; font-size: large;">But He chose instead to know by</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times; font-size: large;"> experiencing them for Himself."</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times;"> to deliverance through</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> our becoming more righteous. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">That requires repentance.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> for the Lord to be able to lead us </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">by the hand where </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">He wants to take us through</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> our troubles and on to sanctification."</span></span><br />
