Just a few thoughts

When your hut's on fire

The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him. Every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming.. Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements, and to store his few possessions. One day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, with smoke rolling up to the sky. He felt the worst had happened, and everything was lost. He was stunned with disbelief, grief, and anger. He cried out, "God! How could you do this to me?" Early the next day, he was awakened by the sound of a ship approaching the island! It had come to rescue him! "How did you know I was here?" asked the weary man of his rescuers. "We saw your smoke signal," they replied.

The Moral of This Story:

It's easy to get discouraged when things are going bad, but we shouldn't lose heart, because God is at work in our lives, even in the midst of our pain and suffering. Remember that the next time your little hut seems to be burning to the ground. It just may be a smoke signal that summons the Grace of God.

During a Relief Society lesson the following quote has handed out. I don't really remember what the lesson was about, but I have been living by this quote ever since then. It's from President Gordon B Hinkley:

Have Faith
Be Believing
Don't Be Discouraged
Things Will Work Out!

Finally...

So I am FINALLY getting into the hype over the books Twilight!
My boss read all the books within 2 weeks. She couldn't put it down. I figured since she read them that fast, I would give it a shot. So I borrowed the books from my friend Jenn. I just started reading the first the other day and I can't seem to put it down. Very intriguing story. We were simi slow today at work so I was able to read more. I was finding myself getting alittle upset when a customer walked in the bank and I had to be the one to help them. Couldn't they see I was very busy reading my book? :)

A Favorite Song

I was watching The Ellen DeGeneres show a few months ago and Beyonce was on. She sang a song that I just fell in love with. I was being a little brat (ok maybe moody) for whatever reason. I'm a girl, so I don't really need a reason, right? :) When I heard this song I just started laughing because poor Josh has to put up with alot from me. It's called Flaws and All. *Warning: The song does have a swear word, but it's the truth. :)
