Well, that didn't last very long!

I was reading over some priesthood blessings that I had been given. I always forget specific words in blessings and only remember the general idea so a few years ago I started writing down what I remembered from the blessings right after I got them. I complied all these blessings into one document. As I was reading this list today, I realized something pretty amazing. Most of the things promised in the blessings had all happened. And the things that I needed to work on, I've improved on. I didn't receive all the blessings right away, in fact most of them have taken years. But the point is, I did change and I did receive those promised blessings. I added a few new priesthood blessings that I recently received to the list today. And I am so happy to realize and have faith that, they will also come to fruition. Yes, it will take time just like the previous blessings, but it will happen. I am so grateful for that. I am so happy that I decided to write down these blessings to help me remember.

So that's why I decided that I shouldn't stop writing in this blog. I wanted to stop because I didn't know why I was writing it anymore or who I was writing it for. I even prayed about whether I should keep writing this blog or not. Because honestly, I didn't want to do it anymore. I felt an uneasy feeling when I decided to stop writing and I kind of felt like I should keep going. (But of course I ignored that feeling). I felt pressure and I felt judgement from other people. And I'm making new friends. I don't really want them to know about the past me. The me that has changed. But it's important for me to remember and to see how far I've come and to document how much farther I know I will go. And maybe the things I write will help others too. But I need to write it for me. I took down my blog address from Facebook and I won't be announcing when I've written a new post anymore. But for anyone who is still reading this, I'll be writing every so often. :)

P.S. I am thriving in my new house and new town! I've already made three strong friends in the first week I've been here. Whereas last year, I only made three strong friends PERIOD! I'd say that's a vast improvement. Yay single's wards! I miss you Capitol Hill ward though. :(
