A great Start

Yesterday mother proposed a new plan for the average weekday: Get up at 4:30, go to YMCA and work out there till 6:30, go to seminary at 7, and start your day at 8:30. That takes care of the most important things in my day FIRST so I don't have to try to squeeze in working out (and getting my driver out of the house) at a later time of day. It is a wonderful physical and spiritual boost for the day!

Today was a very ideal day, I must say. I got everything in that I had planned on doing. I'm trying a new, rather simple day-plan strategy. I make a simple outline of the day's tasks in chronological order and DO IT. Today I got divine help in finding things, keeping negative thoughts out of my head, and sticking to my plans. I am nothing, and I will always be nothing. My God has all power, everything good that any man does is because of His ultimate Genius and Mercy. He is the one that inspires great leaders, scientists, philosophers, prophets, and normal people, whether they acknowledge his help or not. I'm going to make it a lifetime goal to ALWAYS acknowledge his hand in all things.

I have exciting plans in mind for this week and beyond! Fa really wants to have a LOTR movie night with a bunch of our friends, we are going to do that caroling thing, I'll have the opportunity to sing in church this coming week, I'm going to invite Cassidy, Allie and Mikaela to come to church (1. For invitation Sunday, 2. To come and see Sabrina and me sing). Scouting is going well, and I'm having a blast working on the Medicine and Engineering Merit Badges! The Eagle Scout project is still coming together as well.

I know that not all days are going to be as good as today, but I know that if I just keep trusting in the Lord, everything should turn out right in the long run. Ug, SO HAPPY!!
