I'm so thankful for the gospel and the commandmants...

I'm so thankful for the gospel and the commandments that I made the commitment to keep. Yesterday just reaffirmed my testimony.

One of our supervisors at work and another co-worker were fired for doing something so stupid, something that would've easily been prevented. While it will remain unspoken, it just reaffirmed my commitment to obeying the commandments of the gospel. While what said supervisor and co-worker did was stupid and definitely grounds for termination, they are still in my prayers as this is not a good time for ANYONE to be out of work.

At The Ceili

I love Celtic Woman. This video came from their DVD A New Journey and someone put it up on YouTube. :) Enjoy!

Virginity must be the eptome of uncoolness...

I honestly have no clue how it happened, but my co-workers and I ended up on the topic of virginity. One of the girls asked me how old I was. I told her I was 32.

She was all like, "And you've never had sex?" Since it's never been a secret that I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, it's pretty much a given that I'm saving myself for marriage.

My reply (no shame or regret), "That's right."

Her reply (with scornful laughter), "You don't know what you're missing."

This is why I don't get along with some of the people on my shift. I try to be nice to them and talk with them. I give an inch and they take a mile. Tonight was evidence of that, with this co-worker deciding that my being a virgin made me uncool.

Personally, I prefer to save myself for my eternal companion (if my Heavenly Father decides to bless me with one of course), knowing that I'm coming into the marriage completely and totally morally clean. I understand that I'm working with some people who don't share this belief. It just makes me sad that people make light of moral issues and treat intimacy lightly. It is a God given gift for two people to join together in such a way that they are completely one; heart, body, and soul. And that kind of unity is only right and proper in a marriage relationship.

I am content in waiting until I'm married to completely give myself to my eternal companion. The waiting will be so worth it.

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year, my faithful readers! New year, clean slate!

Although I'm not doing very well at keeping one of my resolutions. I had planned to study the scriptures regularly, but roommie and I both were tired last night and we didn't do our scripture study like we usually do when I get home from work. And she hasn't come home yet tonight.

Guess if I want to keep my resolution, maybe I should try scripture study on my own sometimes. Hmmmm...
