Graduated....

First off I want to say that I was blessed to hear from an apostle of the Lord this past weekend.  Elder Scott came to our Stake Conference.  It was everything good and wonderful.   I have a great love for this man.  He spoke right to my heart.  Oh the church is TRUE!!!  I even got to shake his hand TWICE!  I love love love the Gospel.

I realize that there has been a lack of posts on this blog.  And my only response is because I have nothing to say.  Shocking I know.  This transition to the post graduated world has been interesting.  I have my own room, a big bed, a TV/DVD, bathroom, living room, closet, shelves, and lots of time.  Normally a person would be thrilled with all these things to them self.  I admit it is nice.  Yet, it's a bit lonely.  During the day I hold down the fort while my "roommates" are at work at school.  The dog, can be company, but it's not much of a social atmosphere during the day.  I do enjoy spending time with my family and helping around the house whenever I can.

I try to find activities to fill up my time at night.  I've started attending institute...this is a first for me.  So far so good, but I've only been to one class.  The singles ward has some activities during the week.  I back to square one, I really don't have any friends so it's back to the basics.  I keep telling myself that this is good for me, to get out of my comfort zone and make new friends.  I forget how hard it can be at times.  I am making a conscious effort to attend all ward activities and to be an active member of the ward.  My dad said that being active will creative activity.  I hope that I will be able to make some friends and have fun.

As for the job hunt, I'm in the process of elimination. Lucky for me I don't have to do the elimination I'm the one being eliminated from each job I apply for.  The market is tough right now, but I have great hope and faith in the future.  I'm really just trying to do my part and let the Lord guide and direct me.  I love my field of study and it would be a dream to land a job in the area of recreation.  But with the economy the way it is right now funds are being cut and it's harder to find a job.  So, I'm looking elsewhere.  As long as I am working with people and helping them make their life better in someway I can be happy.  It's nice that I really don't have many expenses right now.  So my bank account is completely depleting.

Now for those of you who do read this all the way through please know that I still am a happy clam.  I know that the Lord has great things in store for me.  I have found joy in the journey and that is the blessings that come from the gospel.  I have a goal this year to read The New Testament.  I'm coming to know my Savior in a new light.  I've re-read a favorite talk -- A More Determined Disciple This talk has changed my life and brought more hope and faith.  Please enjoy. 

Now if any of you know of a job I could apply for please let me know, I am a hard worker.

Cheers!
