Brittany: I Am Alive!

I Am Alive!

Yes, I am alive. My life has still been going on for the last 2 1/2 months since I last blogged. I went back to Utah, decided I needed a change and am now looking for employment in my home state of Washington. I'm applying in the Tri and in the Seattle area, so we shall see. I am visiting the fam in the Tri right now and have spent the last couple days working on applications, applications, and more applications. I now remember why I haven't switched jobs in the last four years...it's a huge pain! But it will be worth it to live close to my family again.

I also started working on Family Indexing and I created my own PAF file today and found several generations back on my Grandpa Gilson's side using familysearch.org. It was great and I can't wait to do more!

Inspiring Quotes

"We cannot help others feel God's love when we are: irritated, critical, discouraged, annoyed, self-absorbed, angry, indignant, or filled with self-pity, hostility, or bitterness."
"Be the living expression of God's kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting." Mother Teresa

"We need to meditate more. We're so busy doing little things. We need to meditate more." President McKay
"The life which is unexamined is not worth living." Plato
"In contrast to the institutions of the world, which teach us to know something, the gospel of Jesus Christ challenges us to become something. . . . The gospel of Jesus Christ is the plan by which we can become what children of God are supposed to become. . . . Charity is something one becomes." Elder Oaks
"If I could have one thing happen for every woman . . . it would be that they would feel the love of the Lord in their lives daily." Bonnie Parkin

"Thanks be to God that He guages the offerings and sacrifices of His children by the standard of their physical ability and honest intent rather than by the gradation of His exalted station. . . . Our need to serve God is incalculably greater than His need for our service."
"True doctrine understood, changes attitudes and behavior. The study of the doctrines of the gospel will improve behavior quicker than a study of behavior will improve behavior." President Packer
