Tuesdays.

I had a great lesson in Institute today. We discussed us. It was the Parable of the Talents, so it was all about us, and the things that we are capable of. It was really interesting. Brother Maughan shared a story from one of Sister Holland's talks, and it was really really good. I will share with you my favorite little hunk.

"When we frustrate God’s plan for us, we deprive this world and God’s kingdom of our unique contributions and a serious schism settles in our soul. God never gave us any task beyond our ability to accomplish it. We just have to be willing to do it our own way. We will always have enough resources for being who we are and what we can become.”

I just liked the way that she said this, and I thought it was very profound. It means a lot to me, the fact that he will never give us anything beyond our own ability to accomplish. Yes, we may not go about it quickly, or in the manner that we assumed, but we go about it all the same, and use the talents that Heavenly Father gave us. That is the entire purpose of them. I just thought it was a good insight. :] I got nothing done today really, I had a bad attitude towards school, which is never good. Wednesday is my day though. I'm determined to get a lot accomplished. Using my talents. :] Look at me, already applying Institute lessons into my life.

I'm struggling again being up here. I hate it. :/ I don't like it when I don't want to be here, and feel like I have no one. It's not really fun. At all. I think I will try to go to the Temple on Saturday with Parker. That sounds like a good plan. I realized over Spring Break I didn't get very much Spiritual time in, I was so busy with work and everything else, that I neglected it. Which is why I'm probably dragging now. So unfortunate. I'm tired, and don't really have anything else to say. It will be a better tomorrow.
