A little insight?

Hello dear readers.
I'm writing a paper for my Doctrine and Covenants class. The assignment is very specific yet very broad.

We can write about whatever we want, but it can't sound preachy or like a talk.
I've chosen to write about how we can distinguish between our own thoughts and promptings from the spirit. Sometimes I find when I'm praying for something, I'll think of what I want the answer to be... then I won't know if that was the spirit or if I'm just being selfish. Any insight, scripture, experience, etc. would be welcome. Feel free to email, text, facebook, or call me with anything if you don't want to leave a comment!

Thanks very much.

Cheers.
Katelin.

There's a light...

at the end of the tunnel!!!!
I GOT INTO THE PUBLIC RELATIONS MAJOR!!!
Like father like daughter. Now I can get a move on and get out of there! I'm so excited! Today is the best day ever. I must take a moment to boast. I got the highest score (99%) on our final test in training at work, then I got this news, now I get to go out with my two best friends for Cyndi's birthday. and tomorrow... I get to sleep in! I just don't think that life gets any better. If only I could call Trace to tell him all about it. Oh well. Life is stilll good!!!

Let's hear it for the boy!

(photo caption: mom, look at me modeling this sweet tie you gave me, I'm a gap model)

Can I just say...
I frickin love this kid. When we were dating before he left, sometimes we got into arguments because I knew he loved me a lot, but sometimes he wasn't very good at showing it...
So then he leaves on a mission. This kid has had the most mighty change of heart. He loves this gospel so much. I mean he did before he left, but now he is just so committed. It's fantastic.
And lately, he's been making sure that I know he still loves me. He doesn't write me long love letters or anything, but I have been getting lots of letters lately and that just makes my day. I just thought I'd give him a shout out, even though he can't read it...

So you can read what he says!

"I have been obsessed with the Saviour's ministry lately. I have read the sermon on the mount like six times in the past two weeks and Jesus the Christ is one of the greatest books ever written. I recommend you pick it up, I'm sure your daddy has it." (here's a funny part) "I also just read through the account of Abinadi and the priests of King Noah and I decided I'm going to make a comic book of the story line but make it follow the story line of Star Wars! The characters may look something like this..."
They teach a zillion Hungarians and said that most of them are struggling financially and having a hard time finding work. "There's not much you can do as a missionary. I suppose that sometimes we look for wealth and well-being as signs of blessings of following the Saviour. We often forget that what the Saviour has promised is an inner peace."

Yes, he puts "u"s in words, like a Brit.

It's been 5 months. And it's flyin by! Go team!

The Curveball


I knew something was gonna go awry. Life has just been too perfect lately. Great new job, doing well in school, being perfectly content that my best friend in the whole world is gone for 2 years! I was just waiting for a curveball. Well, here we go! Today I forgot to take my statistics exam. I don't know what happened. All the dates and information just got completely jumbled in my mind. So, it was either fail this exam that was 25% of my grade, or withdraw from the class. I feel like such a coward, but I'm gonna withdraw. Now I can focus my attention on accounting, biology, public speaking, and doctrine and covenants. I'm also going to try to put a lot more focus into my relationship with my Heavenly Father. I think that my life could be much closer to perfect with a lot more spirit in my life.

Is it too much to ask for a little slow pitch?

And I've gotta find time to hang out with my friends and my boyfriend....
oh wait. Nevermind.

Maybe I'll be okay after all!
