This list thing has been keeping me on my toes for writing on my blog. This is a good thing because if I wasn't on the ball, chances are it would never get written during the time I have left here:D
Number 8
The bubble. So this is kind of on both lists but first let me explain what it is.
So as most if not all of you know is that I am a very strong in my faith and that being a member of the LDS church. Well, this may look bad but I promise I will revisit this in the good list;)
It saddens me that so many members here do not understand the outside works. It literally feels like a bubble that people are in. When I mention experiences in church or school, people just cannot fathom it. At least most people cannot. Sometimes, it really hurts to be judged by people you really think will understand you. I'm not pointing fingers at anyone. I do my best to not judge as we all should. Here's the thing. I've made not the best decisions but they were made and I've bettered myself. I won't hide that fact. Maybe only people in my church will understand this, but when everyone around here instantly asks," what temple did you get married in?" And I say," we'll, we were sealed in the Houston Texas temple." I get this big," ohhhhhhhh! I see...." Or when everyone ASSumes that Arthur has served a mission it is degrading the way a lot of people treat us. Let me be sure to tell people, it seriously shouldn't matter what you've done. What matters is what kind if person you are. What kind of person you have become. I can mention plenty....plenty of men and women that have served missions that have fallen away from the church. I can tell you about the marriages that started in the temple but are now in fiery divorce. Trust me. I am ever grateful when these things are done such as serving a mission or getting married in the temple, but I also know it doesn't put a fool proof barrier on you. You are what has to continually put up that protection from the adversary. You are what makes you. That's one thing that has really been an annoyance. I am proud of who I am and who my husband is. We are strong, faithful people and strive everyday to guide our family in the best direction with Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father as our example. We also have the wonderful gift if the Holy Ghost to guide us. So please, don't judge others. To each their own. Keep your opinions to yourself. Just love. Love each other so much you are pouring love from every pore of your body. That's all people ever really want or need. If you want to be my friend, do it. Don't question what I do.
