Annie The Musical - Tomorrow

so this is the real song. i love it. it really lifts me, sometimes. one of my favorite uplifting songs/\.

Life can be so complicated. Sometimes I don't even know what to think. I feel like I'm searching for something, when I don't even have a clue as to what I'm searching for. I'm so confused and frustrated right now. I'm not even sure I truely know myself. I feel like I should be doing something much more than what I'm doing right now. But what? What am I suppose to do? What and I looking for? Who am I, really? Where do I belong? Why can't I seem to find any answers? Ugh. Life is so complicated. Maybe I'm just having a bad day. I am not sure. I am tired. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

this video helped to cheer me up, and i even had to laugh. Hopefully it can do the same for you!

Okay, so i had to put this last thing on before I go to bed. This picture gives you an idea, but most of the words are hard to see. This website has the same picture, but they blew it up to a bigger size. check it out!

(Just right click on the picture to zoom in)<-----On the website, I mean. Not on this blog.

Today is Sunday. The missionaries came over today, and we talked about Sacrament Meeting. Now, I have been going to Sacrament Meeting ever since I could remember. Well, except for those few times over the years due to being sick, lazy, or going on a day trip with my family. But for the most part we would always go. So I never really thought it was anything special. In fact, to be honest, I use to, and still kind of a little bit, dread going to church. I mean, you sit there for 3 hours, listening to people give talks while your stomach is growling because you overslept and had to rush to the car with your hair half done, your makeup spilling out of your hands (to try to put on in the car while you are driving down the street, seeming to jolt at every small turn), and missing the most important meal of the day: breakfast. Anyways, you get my point. Going to church didn't seem near as awesome as sitting in your PJ's all day, watching cartoons, updating you status from "waking up" to "ate leftover cake for breakfast" to whatever things you do, that no one really cares about, on Facebook.

Anyways, we were chatting with the missionaries, and they had four main things.

1. Help Others

2. Be a Christian

3. Keep the Commandments

4. Always Remember Jesus Christ

Then they asked us how they fit together. If you are like our family, you know that everyone, and soon as the missionaries ask a question, look down at their lap, and pretend to be deep in though, until they give you the answer. We all know of course, that really you are thinking of nothing except, "Please don't pick me! Please don't pick me!"

So after a minuet or two, they told us that it was all part of the Sacrament prayer. Then, of course, every one's face has that expression of, "oh yeah, I knew that!" As they nod slowly to everyone else around the room. We really don't know what they have to do with the Sacrament, but that doesn't mean you can't try to fool others into thinking you knew.

But as we got deeper into the conversation, I noticed that they did all fit. They were some of the covenants, or promises, we made to Heavenly Father.

Then I realized why we go to church every single Sunday, week after week. We need to renew our covenants to Heavenly Father. Yeah, it doesn't seem like a big deal, sometimes maybe even a drag to go to, especially when you are rushing to get there. But at least we have the opportunity to do so. At least we are able to repent of our sins. Can you imagine what would happen to us in the afterlife, if Jesus hadn't given himself so we could be forsaken of our sins? We'd have to be accountable for every single one of our sins. From pushing your mom into the pool with only her normal everyday clothes to protect her from the water (true story, but I'm not going to get into it now), to putting gum in our sister's hair, to getting into one of your monthly shouting matches with one of you family members or friends(well, that one was a big exaggeration, but you know what I mean). We would never be able to take those back. No sorry would be good enough.

Now, aren't you glad to go to church, despite being unable to sleep in, missing breakfast, and rushing out the door once a week? I think it is well worth it, if it can help us to be closer to our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. Don't you think?
