Everyday I get a LDS Daily Gem; a little thought for the day type of thing. I really liked today's so I am going to post it on here.
The Savior's Love for Us
"The Savior's example of going the extra mile to find His lost sheep is evident throughout the scriptures. . . . The Good Shepherd knew when one of His sheep was missing. . . . He searched for that which was lost. . . . We also know that He did not give up, . . . and when He returned, the lost sheep was safely on His shoulders."
(Mervyn B. Arnold, "Strengthen Thy Brethren," Ensign, May 2004, 47)
I really like this because it shows that the Savior really does know each and every one of us. He knows when we are lost, or when we are missing. He searches for us and He never gives up. And when He does bring us back, we are safely on His shoulder. I just love it! I wanted to share this with others because it's so totally AWEsome!

This is a message I sent to Craig, Nechelle, and Katherine early this morning after our fun-filled night at YSA Activity night and IHOP. I wanted to post it on here because I thought it was funny and I really do like it when I get in those odd, totally MEGAN moods. Here it is:
Greetings
How's it going homie gee's? I had a lot of fun last night, how about you? We should do it again sometime. I need to add Ashley as my friend again, sometimes I have issues, um, I don't want to talk about it. Nechelle, you are awesome. Katherine, you've got mad driving skills, and Craig, nice hair. I'm in a really odd mood, but do you know what? It feels GREAT!!! I wish I were like this ALL the time. I should go to bed, before my fangs come out; that's when things really turn ugly. Uh, good night my friends. I'll check you out later.

GUESS WHAT?!?!? I'm so excited about this, really :) Last night at our YSA Activity Night, we had 10 people come!!! That's a FABULOUS turnout! I really am excited. It could explain last night perhaps. But then again maybe last night happened for a few reasons, kind of thing. I finally called a friend I met at Fazoli's in Utah and left a message for him. I've been thinking about doing just that for months now. But a quote by Eleanor Roosevelt came to mind: "Do something everyday that scares you." I haven't done that for a long time. So I did it; and it felt great! And then IHOP was cool. I think I got fired up at IHOP and then the ride home was crazy. Seriously. It felt good. I don't think I've really been that way since Utah.
But I can feel a change coming over me. I'm happy; I've been down a lot lately. I feel a lot more like myself. I am so happy, you have idea! It's like all these little things are coming together and God does really watch out for you and answer your prayers! Because He heard me and is answering my prayers! Just like the thought I posted for today! So true, so true.
Today seems to be a day of much posting. I would like to post a song that my friend introduced to me. The first time I listened to the song, I didn't really like it, but now I like it a lot and I often find myself singing it.
I know God lives and He does hear and answer my prayers and yours as well. I love my Savior Jesus Christ so much! He is always there for me and never leaves me, even when I mess up so much. I am so grateful for my time on this earth now, for where I am, the people I know, and this change coming over me. Thank Thee God! I love Thee with all my heart!
I love this blog and I love myself.
I am excited for my adventures in life.
