I don't really know if I have that much to say but I know it has been awhile since I have last posted. It is probably driving Nancy crazy! For that I apologize. Lets see what has happened since last post. Tiff and Kellan got married. Thats pretty great! It was a really nice day and the sealing was beautiful. I know some of the Barrus side was pretty surprised I was in the temple so I guess I should re-announce that I did receive my endowments on January 8th of this year. Just in case some of you might not have known that. Going through the temple then at that time in my life has truly been a blessing. I definitely know it was the right time for me.
Other than that things are going good. Just staying busy with work which I love and am truly grateful for. I am amazed at how much the gospel is apart of each one of our lives differently. Most all of the people (actually I think everyone) at the office are members of the church but all with different activity levels. I was sitting at a high school dance the other night talking with the co-worker I was with and we were talking about how we handle our trials. Do we turn to the Lord when times get hard or do we blame him? She is semi-active and she shared with me the hurt she had after one trial and where the blame got placed. It just made me think do I control my trials or do my trials control me? Am I accepting them and moving forward by turning closer to the Lord or am I just focused on the bad and blaming Him? Everyone is different in how we act towards them but is that the right way to act? I guess its just a lot of things to consider when things happen to us but it is ultimately our choice. As we continued talking my thought process changed a little bit and I thought about the impact people have on our lives. We all go through trials and really we are all here to help one another through them. I am amazed at those that come and go into our lives during certain times of our lives. If that makes any sense at all. I look back at some of my trials in my life and think I don't know how I could have done it with out him/her helping me through it. Thats when you see the Lords hand in all things. Anyways...I could continue on because I have been thinking about it for a while but I won't bore you.
I wish I had some pictures to post but I do not. Sorry about that....I will do better next time. I hope all of you are well and staying out of trouble. Love you all!!!
