ugh...

I am getting a little frustrated with the whole job search thing... I am almost asking myself what the point of it is...

The Standard-Examiner finally called me back today and told me they decided to go with a mobile, online journalist something-or-other (i.e. Gannet News Service). Here at the DNews I am stagnant and I don't know if a move to the Trib is a wise thing.
The other papers I have put resumes in to, I haven't heard from and I am not sure I want to either.

I just need to find something that will make me happy. Not to say I am not happy right now. Working part-time here is hard because I am out of the loop on so many things.

It was good to have the trials and endurance lesson last Sunday. I just have to remember that all of this is for some reason that I may never know.

Here are a few random thoughts I have:

- "In the hour of adversity be not without hope. For crystal rains fall from black clouds."

- "Trials are not a result of breaking the law or wickedness. It is because you are laying the foundation of the kingdom of God to prepare the way for Jesus Christ." Pres. Wilford Woodruff

- If you stay at the same level, things never get any harder and you are not learning what you need to.

- Squeezing by is not the best way. The bare minimum is not enough.

- Blessings before trials come so that we can see the hand of the Lord in our lives to give us the strength we need to get through the trial.

- Although the gospel doesn't change, it allows us to change.

- Sometimes bad things have to happen to force good things to happen.

- Whenever we want to give up Heavenly Father is there to cheer us on.

- "Don't confuse Zion with the Celestial Kingdom. In Zion wee will still have troubles." Sis. Okasaki

- Trials and opposition give us experience and help us prepare for Celestial glory.

- We were not sent to this earth to simply be born. We were sent to endure and return home.
