I never thought I'd a "blogger". I have decided though, that I have a lot to say! There is a lot that goes in in my head- most of the time it's exhausting! Facebook, while fun, is not the place for me to sort out and publicize the goings on of my random trek through understanding.
I am the oldest of five. I think that means something, I think it means that I am a leader, that I'm an idea person- thus clever and quick witted. I'm a teacher, an authoritarian ( that's a nice way to say probably too bossy), I like to have my own way (aka STUBBORN) and I often think my ideas are better than someone elses. I am a confidant, and protector, an owie kisser, and a helper.
I am, from a long time back, a question asker. I think that people SHOULD share what knowledge they have!! I do not like having to pay for answers. I think knowledge should be a free commodity- available for the asking but our society has put a huge price tag on knowledge. That is one of my major beefs. For that reason, I love the internet. So much informtaion out there available for the asking. I just had an epiphany. Much of the time, I have wondered why I was sent to earth at this time. I would have made a lovely English Lady, or a robust pioneer- but my constant quest for knowledge would not have been satisfied at any time other than this one (so far). YES!! I love realizing things!- and I like being a question answerer for others. I don't expect people to just fill me up with knowledge to horde to myself. There is a balance, though; isn't there? We don't want to force our "knowledge" or beliefs or ideas or thoughts on others. . that is why I ask. I'll let the masses know that I am a person who wants to know! I'll be a receptacle for the stuff they're bursting to share!! Sad thing, though- I am just now beginning to understand that kowledge comes line upon line, and precept upon precept- and what a joyous realization that was. I need to read my scriptures. From front to back- the whole way through- and not just flip to the index or topical guide when I have a problem. I am sooo looking forward to learning things line upon line because I understand now that is the way a loving father in Heaven teaches his children. . .it has been a rough journey of wondering why I didn't get answers when I just opened my books. . .and I didn't feel that I had the resources to "FIND" the answers I sought. I'll tell you- it was a very lonely place to be. . having people tell me that Heavenly Father loves me and that He will answer my prayers if I ask in Faith but to then pour out my guts in supplication for answers and get (what I thought) was nothing. I just wasn't listening. . . and for that reason, the answer was a long time coming, but that is it. I don't get all the knowledge that I seek gift wrapped with a bow or like a lightening bolt flashed right to my brain core. . .I can handle this. I now have a game plan. If I familiarize myself with my scriptures- learning truths along the way- I will know better where to go when I seek specific guidance.
See- Blogging is fantastic! Realization is fantastic.
So- I'm thinking that this blog will encompass much musing and thought sorting as well as silly things from the day to day that we experience- hopefully I can figure out how to organize it all.
Ahhhhh.. if anyone ever does read the things I share- peace to you. Another of my quests has brought me to feel that peace is as much a choice as what shirt I wear. Choose peace. Choose love! Choose to see those we share this glorious planet with as people and not things or as the labels we unthinkingly give. It's going to be a great day!
