Will I give more

Now that I've graduated from grad school, the thesis is finished, bound, out of my life...I can't help but see where I am spiritually. It's been a rough path for the past three years. Spiritually, I think I feel a little lost.

And it's nothing but the busy-ness that took me away from the word of God.

And it's time to get back.

I read a phrase today that I so want to work in my life.

2 Nephi 28:30: "Blessed are those who hearken unto my precepts, and lend an ear to my counsel, for they shall learn wisdom; for unto him that receiveth I will give more".

I want more. I went to church today and I really tried to focus on what was being said. I read this afternoon and really tried to feel like I used to when I read...and it worked...having not reason to focus on my thesis anymore, I think this is why it worked for me today.

I want more. I want to feel once again connected to my God, and feel Him directing my life and rely upon Him.

Judging and reproving

So I recently got back on a singles website that I haven't been on for quite some time. I updated my pictures. I've been chatting with a few guys, some that are nice and respond and ask questions, some that are complete jerks. This last one yesterday topped the cake, and has almost made me give up completely on these sites...

A guy so centered on his looks, that all he cared about was knowing if I really looked like my pictures, or if I was fat. Honestly, it almost killed me with the emails he was sending back and forth yesterday.

So it got me to thinking...what qualities am I looking for in a guy?

As I started my study today, this was heavy on my thoughts. Here is one of the first verses I read... 2 Nephi 21:3 "And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord, and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears".

WOW. That's it. I need someone who doesn't judge wrongly by what they see, or reprove by what they know or find out about me. And I hope to have those qualities myself.
