This weekend has been quite uneventful... I think I spent too much time with Harold this weekend. I'm just soo grateful that tomorrow is Sunday, so I won't have to focus on school and will just be able to relax. I'm going to need it because, guess what I signed up for this semester without knowing?... yeah, 2 rounds of finals. This next week I have 5 tests, and then another one the following Monday. I really don't think they're going to be that bad if I study hard, but it'll be interesting with shadowing, school and school assignments. Basically, pray for me. I'll need it. Bring it, this next week. I'm ready to dominate you, and then guess what? Only 1 more test until finals week... pretty good, huh? Besides this craziness life is still dang good. Here's a message for the Sabbath.... :)
My awesome home teachers came this past week and talked about prayer and got me thinking throughout this whole week. Especially during the past few weeks I have found myself getting a sloppy with my prayers, mainly because I have been soo tired and have forgotten a few times. One of my home teachers told us to imagine Heavenly Father standing in front of us while praying so that it will be even more of a real conversation. This was aweosme for me, because I know I can definitely work on being more sincere with my prayers. Praying as if Heavenly Father is right next to me has been such an awesome challenge this week for me. It has made my prayers a lot more sincere and I have been able to feel of his presence and love even more in life. I would recommend this to anyone. It's soo helpful!
My home teacher also mentioned an aweosme quote by Elder Neil A. Maxwell... "God is in the details." And this is soo true. As incomprehensible it is for us to understand with the millions of people on th earth today, Heavenly Father really does know us all and he wants to be apart of our life. He wants to know every little detail, especially our desires, which we should bring to him as often as possible. He truely cares about each of us, more than we know. How amazing it is to have a loving Heavenly Father who is always willing to be there for each of us. I know for myself, I need to be better about knowing that I can pray whenever, not just before I go to bed and I when I get up in the morning. He is always there with his ears open, ready to hear our prayers.

God's love is PERFECT! Our Heavenly Father desires that we draw
near to him, so that he can draw near to us!
I love the gospel and it is soo true!
Happy Sabbath :)
