Spiritual Saturday.

So yeah, it's not Sunday. I reserve the right not to be restricted to Sundays only for spiritual posts. So since I am feeling rebellious against my own posting habits, enjoy my favorite quote about womanhood. (it was also quoted in the Saturday afternoon session of General Conference)

“Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity.”

-Margarat Dyreng Nadauld 

This post is whatever.

I have many posts that remain drafts. Unseen and unread. I fear the poor things probably feel second-rate and useless so I thought I would share my favorites with you:

(July 21st) "My hair and clothes smell Heavenly. This must be what it feels like to be you."

(July 17th) "Do I have too much to say? Or nothing to say? Is it both? Or neither? Maybe I have too much desire to say and nothing to fill that desire."

(July 15th) "Those who do not read will live once and die. Those who read live 1,000 times and never truly die."

(July 9th) "How foolish I will believe myself now a year from this day when I look back at all that I thought and all I dreamed of. But you can't really live an interesting life without being a fool sometimes."

(July 5th) "Welcome to the fallout 
Welcome to resistance 
The tension is here
Tension is here
Between who you are and who you could be
Between how it is and how it should be"

(June 30) "Sometimes I wish I was a hipster but then I remember that life means more when you live it than when you take a picture of it to prove you've lived. If all you have to show for a life is a picture then really you haven't lived. A better proof of living is a life. Plus then I remember that hipster means a trend follower and I don't want to be that."

(May 31) "Bless your beautiful hide,
wherever you may be.
We haven't met yet
but I'm willing to bet,
You're the one for me."

There you go drafts. I hope you feel important. 

Spiritual Sunday-Thoughts on the Theme

"Wherefore, stand ye in holy places, and be not moved, until the day of the Lord come; for behold, it cometh quickly, saith the Lord. Amen."

(D/C 87:8)

"Standing in holy places is all about being in good company, whether you are alone or with others. It’s being where the Holy Ghost is our companion—alone or in a crowd."

-Sharon G. Larson

If we are to "be not moved" from our holy places, then we need to create a holy place wherever we go.

It's actually sort of creepy

 In case I haven't said it enough, I have pretty gorgeous friends. 

Maybe I'm a creep but I like quotes and pictures of these people so I made these things. 

Enjoy:
