It's Great to be 28!

Who used to be so scared of aging? I WAS! I couldn't even tell you how dreadful it was to me.  I wasn't scared because of wrinkles and stuff. I was scared of aging and not living life to the fullest. Too many desires of my heart are out of reach. Dreams were blurry and goals remained but goals.  The good news is I didn't stay being the person I was.  I was different then and I'm more different now.  I could talk to that person now and tell her how it was and she will be happy to be gone forever.  She will be happy about what we've become. So! I thought it's sweet to write a few things...

Season for Gratitude

It's been too long, I know.  It's time I get a post up because the season for gratitude is always too. (like how President Monson described prayer)  As always, it's been up and down. But blessings come after much tribulation.  You have no idea how hard it has been emotionally and financially.  But see, it worked. The gospel always works.  I'm grateful for an ever supportive family, who silently but firmly knows I just needed time until I figure out what job to do. They've been there for me no matter...

Sit still.

So I went to Cebu temple.  It was beyond amazing.  And as always and will never forget a counsel from my mission president..  Learning doesn't start from the actual training, it starts in the preparation.  This is a photo taken when we first arrived in the patron house,  a part of preparation before entering the house of the Lord once again.  Sure enough, more thoughts while sitting in the little extension of heaven... Tough times. Frail in heart.  Sometimes you just have to sit still,...

Why Family History?

The spirit of Elijah is the sweetest as we prepare to make ordinances for our ancestors.  The new Family Search website was a bit challenging at first. I remember the campus proselyting during the mission.  The church is brilliant. (and true) I was able to check it in the mission but but less concentration in the website.  I'm not a techy person I had to look for our ward consultant.  But it's cooler than I thought. And guess what? After fixing my account and making all the necessary, I found out I reserved...

Great things come in small packages

After my usual morning prayer I went ahead and sent lesson memos from my classes last night. It has been my usual schedule for the past couple of weeks. I will have 8-12 classes daily and I send the memos early the next day. It's a routine but it's okay.  I should say it never stops being a bit overwhelming. Finding out what to do and where to go. What job do you really want and is the next semester really best time to get back to school. What is and what not. These and all the other life obligations makes me feel overwhelmed...
