Bra shopping is a form of cruel and unusual torture. As if it wasn't enough that no store actually carries bras that would fit me, when they DO fit, they are always in outlandish colors like pink leopard print or avocado fru fru. As if that's not enough, if you want to find a good bra, you have to dig through piles and piles of pictures of naked women, who certainly don't wear the size bra that you're trying on or they wouldn't have gotten that job in the first place. Someone missed the memo that women don't like looking at naked women. Tactful bra sellers of the world, where are you?
On a completely different subject, when AI was 12 years old I went ot my first youth activity at Church. The activity that night was to cut up strips of colored paper with many different journal prompts on them and put them in a canning jar for further use. Well, I still have them. i guess I was waiting for them to use full maturation or something, but I finally decided it's about time I break them open. This is mostly due to the fact that I think most of the questions in there have silly things like "What do you want your future husband to do about the toilet seat?" and seeing as soon he won't be my "future" husband, I had better get on the ball. So here go a few:
What are things I love and admire about my mother?
Well, I think the first thing is that my mom isn't afraid to befriend anyone. People who no one else wants to associate with love and trust my mom because she's willing ot love them in a Christlike way. As kid I hated this because there were always "weirdos" at my house and I was embarrassed, but now I realize that it's the weirdos who need the most love. Yep, I just said that if you are my mom's friend you are a weirdo. Get over it :)
What is my home life like? How could I improve or strengthen it?
Growing up I didn't realize just how great I had it, to be honest. I realize now that any unhappiness I had at home was from my own failure to exercise self-control and love people despite them being imperfect. As for now, I think the best way to improve my home life would be to get married. Sappy, I know.
What can I do to strengthen my testimony?
There really is no replacement for the basics: pray, read scriptures, go to Church, Temple attendance. Mostly I feel as though putting forth a conscious effort to become more Christlike through prayer is what will help me to gai na stronger testimony.
That's all for now, folks!
