1-Make time for service. It doesn't matter who it is or what it is but do it. A lot of the people I work with stress about a lot of things. I try and have tried since I started working there to always ask if others need help with anything. If I can make their lives a bit easier then things in my life will go a bit easier. Its all about helping others so that their lives can change for the better.
2-Along with service remember to always do what is most important. I think sometimes we have a hard time deciding between right and right. Both choices might be the right choice but which is the better of the right. Today really showed me that. With things that have happened recently I have come to realize that I did what I thought was best for the situation. Although some might not agree with the way I handled it or am still handling it I wouldn't change my decision. I had two rights placed before me and I chose the one I thought would not only help myself but more importantly help others. Now pretty much all of you that are reading this are wondering what in the world is Amanda talking about. But don't fret...nothings wrong...I'm fine and things are great! Just the interesting life of a single LDS women. Most of you wouldn't understand.
3-Things happen for reasons we may not know. But its because of those experiences that make us who we are or make us better then we thought we could be. They may even be the smallest tiniest little thing but they define who we are. Its just so great to know that we agreed to all of this. Everything we go through we said yes to before we came here. I think that thought just makes our trials not so hard to bear. Its like "Amanda just suck it up. You agreed to this." and we push through. Life isn't so bad everyone!!! Yes...trials are horrible and not fun to go through but what kind of person would we be without those experiences. I would say you would probably rather boring. Plus I look at my trials and I look at the trials that others go through and my trials seem so lame. I really have nothing to complain about. My life could be so much harder.
So those are just some of the things that I have been taught this week and it is only Tuesday. Who knows what else is in store for me. My life is definitely an adventure. Lets see...single...I really can do whatever I want. I work constantly, which I LOVE!!! On my days off I kind of go crazy finding things to do around the house or something. I would much rather be at work knowing I am accomplishing something. I love helping people! Well...I will stop talking now...I know all of you are loving my little well not so little comments. Most of you probably haven't made it to the end and if you have then props to you! This is a rather lengthy post! I guess I just had a lot to say! Well I love you all!!! Remember who you are!!!!
