Organize Craze Mode

Holy cow...I am really back on with terrorizing the house again and you know what..... I LOVE IT!  I am so happy to be riding the wave.  I have painted the main living areas of the house, made a entertainment center, organized and made pretty my bathroom drawers, and I really feel like I am just getting warmed up.

I have not been in this mood for awhile, so I welcome it back gratefully! I need to post pictures and document my progress.  It seems that little successes get ya fired up and helps build the momentum to keep you going.

I have to share something very interesting.  I had a Crystal Light addiction, yes..I did say Crystal Light...no laughing, back in January.  Since I have been "clean" I have found my drive, desire, and motivation, that I was trying to find in drinking the darn energy drinks, back!

Such a testimony to me that if I put my life in line with what I know to be right, I will find what I am looking for...neat hu?!

Reflections on General Conference

Wow, this past General Conference was so needed!  Granted, 8 hours over two days is a lot to take in when its "church" talk, but it was so nice. ( I am thankful that they do it in two hour increments though!)  I really felt, and still do, feel uplifted and inspired!

I think I have finally figured out how to take good conference notes.  So I listed who the speaker was and a one sentencer on what the subject was about.  If the subject matter was really good and applied to a struggle I have, I put a note on it to study it out in depth when its printed. I also really tried to pay attention to what thoughts came to my mind, specifically action thoughts such as "You really need to do this or not do this in your life right now".  Man,  I  feel great about that!  (I kinda wanna kick myself for just figuring this out now!)  And whats great its not overwhelming...its completely doable.

I love being able to know what direction to move my life in.  I love that God loves us so much that he still talks to prophets today to show us!  I love that there are still good men and women of God out there that are striving and struggling to know God!  I most love... that Jesus came here specifically to show us how to behave and to save us from our sins!  I wish I could really comprehend that but the little that I do I will follow Him.

Great weekend!  Hope others loved it too!
