weekly update

I know it's been more than a week. Sorry. I just realized that if I waited until something cool happened that I could report on, then I would never write. So yeah. Don't have much to say.

Sara is spending the night tonight. Church is tomorrow. It should be good.

I have the green Karmann Ghia again. It has run for three days now, which is pretty good cause the first time I had it it broke down that same day. Frustrating. I think I hate cars.

Everything else is going okay in life. Some days are hard, some are okay. Life is just an adventure and we're here to learn I guess.

Something that I am learning lately:
Sometimes I guess we make right choices, and then decide that since we did that that everything should work out perfectly and we'll be happy (after all, we did do what we knew was right...) But sometimes we make right choices, make sacrifices, decide to choose the right even though it seems like it would be so much easier to just do whatever, and things don't just work out. Life just stays hard, things don't fall into place, and there's still pain when it seems like it would only be fair for Heavenly Father to make us be happy since we just gave up something for Him that we thought might make us happy. If choices were like that, where things just worked out perfectly after we did the right thing, then we would just do the right thing all the time. It wouldn't really be a matter of free agency anymore. I think it shows how much faith we have in Heavenly Father and how much we love Him when we do what He wants us to do, and still continue to do what He wants us to do even when life just stays the same or even gets worse. We have to be willing to sacrifice everything we have. He'll bless us and help us, maybe not in the ways that we want or expect or think should be, but in the way that we need. And life really is so short when you try to fathom eternity. I guess a little pain right now, a little sacrifice, won't really hurt that bad in the very grand scheme of things.

Okay, that's all for now I guess. I love you all and miss you all!
