This will have to be somewhat brief, because, as the title implies, I have plenty to be doing. Church was wonderful today! I didn't mess up on the organ too badly during sacrament meeting, and the speakers were lovely. The best was the fireside, though. We had our Stake President (Pres. Savage) speak as well as the Temple President for the Provo Temple. His name just left me. Anyway, the temple president was very emotional and very touching. I was given the opportunity to play the organ/a musical number for the fireside and that was...alright. Not stellar, but, hey. It's over now! They had sweet rolls afterwards. I had three :)
Now to the procrastination...so, for my Socio-Cultural Anthropology class we have to write these super obnoxious, 2200+ papers called "Simple Quizzes" (really Dr. Crandall? Really?). And I'm really good at putting them off until the day before they're due.
Well, I've got one due tomorrow.
Guess what I'll be doing tonight.
One day, one day I will do my homework on the day that it's assigned. It will be beautiful and perfect. One day. But today is not that day. I'll strive for tomorrow....
Gratitude Moment:
I'm really grateful for prayer today. I was so, so nervous to perform that musical number at the fireside. There were complications with getting the song, and it was all last minute. Right before I performed I was praying that although I knew I wouldn't do a stellar job at it, all I wanted to do was help people feel the spirit. And, my friends, I believe it worked.
Scripture for the Day:
2 Nephi 8:3......."For the Lord shall comfort Zion, he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the Lord. Joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving and the voice of melody."
So, although my situation may not be happy, the Lord can make it better. Although I may not be the person I want to be, the Lord can help me get there. As long as we're following the commandments and trying our hardest, we can do anything with the Lord. :)
G'night!
You have Crandall??? Hahahaha:) He's my uncle. Except technically he is my Grandpa's cousin's son...but we're related. Anyway, you were BEYOND stellar at the fireside! I really felt the spirit during your musical number. Great job!:)
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! Caden and I were wondering if you were related to him, but we came to the conclusion that you weren't because his mother was German. Funny guy, that Dr. Crandall. Ha ha. And I'm glad that you liked the musical number :)
