Weak things become Strong

It's one thing to be mad at other people, but I think that being upset with yourself is a whole new level of unhappiness. I am not in any way shape or form saying that I am a humble and kind-hearted person, because I definitely am not; however, I think my biggest problem that I face is blaming myself for things that are out of my control. Things that I could easily be mad at others for I tend to kill myself for. In most personalities, I believe that it's easier to see your own flaws than the flaws of others. But sometimes, forgiving yourself is one of the hardest things to do.
I am so very, very grateful to Anela for reminding me of my "Scripture of the Year" (The Book of Mormon) that I chose for myself to use as a guide.

ETHER 12:27

And if men come unto me 

I will show unto them their weakness. 

I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; 

and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; 

for if they humble themselves before me, 

and have faith in me,

then will I make weak things become strong unto them.

So yes. I am going to get "down". I am no where near perfect. I don't even have perfect faith most of the time. But I do have a perfect knowledge that weak things will become strong when I come unto Christ. I am not happy with myself, but at the very least I can try my best to be a better person with the help of the Lord. I have made plenty of terrible decisions in my life. Doesn't mean I have to be unhappy forever.

Hi friends!

lololol

Who's that?

I know that it's been so long since I've updated my blog that ya'll are looking at your dashboards and wondering who the heck I am.

In other news, I had a great Christmas. Seriously. My friends and family are the best in the world. I can't wait to hit the slopes though!

...that is, if it snows. -____-

I wish someone would make me a pie.

That would make me a happy girl.

-SAM

This is madness.

I have so much going on this week. I think I'm going to lose my mind.

The thing that would probably make me happiest would be to make a pie. But...

I don't have time.
For anything.
I don't have time to do my hair.
Or speak proper sentences.
I get most of my sleep covered during health,
and math.

Whatever.

-SAM

I said yes! (DOS)

Somebody by the name of Sam got asked to Homecoming by the coolest person on the planet.

I went into math, and about 5-10 minutes through the class, my teacher flips up the projector screen and BOOM. There it was! It was very sweet, and I was not expecting it. I have yet to "answer" him. I shall let you all know how that goes shortly. :)

But anyways. I already have my dress and everything ready. (Of course.) Now we just have to wait til next Saturday!

And speaking of Homecoming, I got nominated as the Junior Homecoming Princess!

DEFINITELY not expecting that one. We'll see if I actually make it to the "finals". I think this whole thing is kinda silly to be honest. But God knows I love the attention. I love all my funny friends that nominated me. So yeah. Cameron is thee coolest ever. I don't know what I would do without him.

Just a bit dramatic.

Remember when I was all like,

"THAT WAS THE POOPIEST AUDITION EVER."

Turns out, I did a lot better than I thought.
In fact, you are now reading the blog of the newest member of the Caleb Chapman Ska band- Lo-Fi Riot!
I'm so excited to get going and meet everyone in the band and AHHHH! It is all very exciting to me. As a part of being in the group, I also get the opportunity to tour Mexico in March of 2012. I am so ridiculously excited. Now I just need a job....
(Easier said than done.)

Well. Yep. Life is good. I am no longer stressed. Jazz band is the bomb. Amen.

-SAM 

Sometimes I say dumb stuff.

The end.

-SAM

Stress is GREAT. *sarcasm

I had auditions on Saturday for a jazz group that I've wanted to be in for such a long time. And last Spring I was like
"HECK YES!!! LET'S DO THIS!"
And then last Friday I was like
"Maybe if I lick all the doorknobs at school, I'll be too sick to go try-out..."

sigh.

So now I'm sitting on the computer. Telling you all that I did, indeed, suck.
