you don't know me, and i don't know ...okay,<br />you don't know me, and i don't know you. however, i came upon your blog through various links, and i just love your writing: it's so honest, it's just simply real.<br /><br />i was reading a talk in the ensign the other night, and highlighted this quote:<br />"it is easy to become distracted--to become focused on one burned-out lightbulb or the impolite acts of unkind people, whatever their motive may be. But think of the power we would have as individuals...if, in response to every temptation to lose focus or lower our standards--the standards of God, we responded, "I am doing a great work and cannot come down." (Elder Uchtdorf's talk:We are doing a great work and cannot come down)<br /><br />Maybe this will help you, maybe it will annoy you that a weird stranger who happened upon your blog decided to comment totally randomly. Whatever your reaction, I thought i'd share this little piece of the talk which has made an impact on me. To me, it means that no matter what the hurtful words were, or from whom they came, you are capable of moving on from them, because you have a greater purpose. I don't think it implies, in any way, that you should be walked all over or have your heart irreperably (what the spellcheck?) stomped on...but i think it suggests that you can keep your focus on the more beautiful and spiritual things in your life, instead of letting those hurtful comments bring you in to a dark place that it can be hard to get out of.<br /><br />I'm sorry to ramble, being a stranger you're probably like, "what the hell, creeper!" i swear, i'm not a creeper. just a fellow blogger who saw a possible answer to your questions in her nightly reading.<br /><br />hope everything works out! <br /><br />sincerely,<br />a friendHaleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13187015051072905721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3826608887827338951.post-62779773821863578682009-06-03T01:52:25.382-07:002009-06-03T01:52:25.382-07:00at first i thought that was queen latifa.

So am I!!! I think I'm going to do Social Work. What are you considering changing to?<br /><br />And don't shut someone out for two weeks. It makes everything worse to be passive aggressive. I think that if it's something that is really bothering you, you need to pray to have the Spirit with you, and then kindly discuss the issue with the offender in a loving way. But it's hard.MedSchoolWifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00745408218333024946noreply@blogger.com
