"You are way too young."

Ha. Yesterday at work one of the students asked me what my favorite rock band was. I thought about it and decided that it was Rush. So I told him, 'It's Rush, but they are way old'. A couple that has four daughters must have heard me, because the dad said. "You're WAY too young to know who Rush is!" and I said, "Maybe, but my father isn't too young to know who they are."
I just think it's funny when people say things like that. You're way too young. It doesn't matter my age. There are still plenty of things that I can know and or accomplish.
That sums up that thought.
I honestly don't have too many other thoughts. But I will say this.
I think it's amazing that Heavenly Father knows what my biggest problem is better than I do. I learned this yesterday while in institute. We were supposed to think about a challenge we are dealing with right now, and then look through a section of scripture to find the answer. I had my challenge in my head, but the scripture that I kept thinking of didn't have anything to do with it. After some thought, it connected. I'm glad I have a Father in Heaven who knows me better than I do. :)

That's my two cents for the day! :)

Seeminly Good Things. :)

Isn't it interesting how there are so many things that are 'good things' but they get in the way of things that are really important?

This was my thought process last night, after studying. I have one glow in the dark star in my room. This is supposed to remind me to think of what it was the Christ would do. What it is that I should do so that I can have my light shine like his.

Background information, two days ago there was some strange burning smell in my room, so everything was unplugged.

So not last night, but the night before i was looking at this star, and it was SO bright. I loved to look at it.
But then last night came around, and it wasn't as bright, and i was able to see why. I had plugged my clock back in, so the light came in the way of the Light from the star.

The clock is a good thing, but sometimes all of the good things in our lives come in between us and what is really important. It's interesting really. How many things do I have in my life that are stepping in my way?

Lately I've been thinking a lot about this. What friends are worth it. It is really tough. I don't know why there has to be so many decisions that I have to make all at once. But I guess that that's life, right? Sometimes I think of a friends name, and I get worried, because I don't know if i'm making the right decision about them.

Really, it's sad. But there is one thing I know. A true friend is someone who brings me closer to Christ. So why shouldn't Jesus Christ be my best friend? :)

Food for thought! :)

Anyway, that is all of my thoughts for the moment! Thanks for reading! :)
