Excellent Sunday

You know those really awesome, really spectacular Sundays? Today was one of those days. Nothing truly spectacular or amazing happened. It was just a good day. Although, I only got to nap for about 30 minutes :( I really want a nap now but if I do that I won't go to sleep later. Considering its 7 pm...oh well. No nap for me.

Church today was just super amazing. There's no other way to put it. Every single person that had something to say today pierced me to my soul. I really felt inspired to do better and be a better person after today. I don't know what it was or what it is. But I will do better at the little things. I struggle with doing the small daily things that are important to keeping a strong testimony. But I've got a renewed ...something...I don't know that the word for it is but something clicked with me at church today and I will try harder to be a better person and do the things I know are the right choices for me in my life. No matter what.

I truly have a testimony that God lives and he loves each and every once of us. No matter what we do. He is a very real person and is a real influence on every day living. I'm not one of those "follow the crowd" type of people and I don't say the things just to say them.  I know for myself that Christ died for each of us and suffered immeasurable pain so that we wouldn't have to. That's the reason right there that I need to be a better person. I need to be better and do better because Christ did everything for me. Period.

So this might sound a little harsh but I despise Valentine's Day. I know what you're thinking: it's because I'm single. You couldn't be more wrong. I think the idea of having a holiday that's whole purpose is to tell you that you have to express your love on a certain of the year is ridiculous.

Does all the lovey dovey couple mushyness make me want vomit? Slightly, yes. Valentine's day is just another day for me. Go to work, come home. Wake up and do it over again. So if this seems scroogy to those readers out there. But that's what I've been thinking about this week.

Do I love that my parents surprised me this week with chocolate covered strawberries at work? Yes, yes I do. But I don't think that people need a holiday to show others that they care.
