Paradigm Shift

Today I was in the car with my mother in law and my brother in law and they were talking about how we see people in our eyes. Not that long ago I realized that every time I watch somebody or talk to somebody I have something mean to say about it. I realized that I was the one who had the real problem because I was judging. Later during the day I read some scripture. They are: 3 Nephi 14:2 -- For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged; and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And also 1 Samuel 16:7 -- But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart. If you think about it what we judge about people we will get to be judged on the same thing. Would you like to be judged on something small -- I wouldn't. The Lord doesn't judge us and isn't the goal to be more Christ-Like? At the beginning of the year Tony and I decided to make family goals and one of the goals is that we would treats others how we want to be treated and that we would always find the good in everybody around us. My hope that is that everybody will take the challenge to try and be kind to those around you and to become more Christ-Like and not judge those. Just try and start be finding something nice to say to those around you even if it's in your mind. Like if you see a girl that looks like she may be struggling to her you could would you like some help or Gee! I wish I had the will to keep pushing on like she is doing, or it could be as simple as wow she did a good job on her makeup or she is pretty! When you start with the simple you begin to start getting in the habit of being nice to those around you.

My burn

On Sunday we had my family over for dinner and my mom and I were finishing up dinner when I reached over and grabbed a stainless steel pan that had just come out of the oven. I burned my whole complete hand. They are all 2nd degree burns. It kind of sucks because I am right hand dominant and I now have to use my left hand. oh well everybody has trials. This one is mine. It's kind of interesting because I have learned how to do lots with my left hand and now I get waited on like crazy -- shhh....we won't tell Tony I LOVE being waited on!

I know, I know

Wow! I know I keep saying that I am going to keep up with my blog and I know I am not doing such a great job. Since my last post we have gotten rid of our internet so it isn't really easy to post things. I will just make a quick update and hopefully I will do a much better job at keeping up with my blog. And also maybe putting up recent pictures. Lets see here. Since the last time I blogged, Tony's brother has come home from a mission which is really awesome. I have gotten a lot further and school and I am almost done and ready to work in the medical field. I have gotten a job which has its challenges most days but is really fun and I love what I do. Oh and I got in my first fender bender. I guess that's all that is pretty much new. Again, hopefully I will keep my blog more updated.
