September Evaluation

These past few weeks haven't been the brightest time in my life. Busy bee, they're telling me. Rarely home, and when I am I'm "too tired" to do anything productive or effective. But I realized after the relief society broadcast, that I have not been giving my all the The Lord and this gospel. My prayers are halfhearted, and my scripture reading has dwindled. Even my journal writing is meager and rushed. The prophet specifically talked about the importance of prayer and I know it was meant for me to hear. I need a better, stronger personal relationship with my Lord. Now that I've opened up my mission file, I need to begin preparations to be on His errand. I cannot do this without prayer, without Him. I cannot wait for general conference. I am very excited to hear what more I can learn and improve on in the coming months and years. 

Moon War

This is as simple as it gets

The truth displayed on blank pages

Lies on the written ones

For you, for me- the wages

From fighting this war are meager

And it seems that we are eager

To leave this hole we are in. 

Can we write a new story?

Nothing is happening but nothing

Can prevent this unbecoming glory.

Winning was never an option we

Had considered in the first place. 

But to actually have victory 

Would be kind of the one we call fate. 

This is as complicated as it gets

Food turns to drink in moonlight

But still we cross our fingers and

Hope that a beam could be our spotlight.
