"The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there
are many dark places; but still there is much that
is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater."
--J.R.R. Tolkien

Jon McLaughlin Concert

1 comments Posted by Anaserene at 12:04 AM





I went to see Jon McLaughlin in concert tonight.  So much fun!  I actually did not think that I would like it that much.  But he's a good performer and very talented.  Cute too.  Afterwards, he came out and signed autographs.  He signed my CD.  After talking to him, I noticed I was blushing.  Silly me.   I hope he didn't notice.  :-)   My camera on my phone isn't the best so some of the pictures are blurry.  Sorry.

Going to a concert gives me an opportunity to "dress up" (still just jeans and a shirt).  And I tried out the smokey eyes look.  Not too bad.  Didn't last, though.  I need to work on that.  
I really needed to do something like this.  It is a way to lose myself and just have fun.  I can dance (not well), jump, scream, and just be as silly as I want.  Or I just close my eyes and let the music wash over me and go through me.  I LOVE concerts.  I need to do this more often!  Worst thing about concerts:  they end.

Discovering Who I Am

0 comments Posted by Anaserene at 9:29 PM

I've been given a few different opportunities to discover more about who I am.  Opportunities to question myself to reaffirm that I really believe what I believe.  I have had opportunities to evaluate where I am in my life and where I want to go. I have discovered some strengths and have used talents that I haven't used in a long time.  Events lately have also allowed me to see some of my weaknesses and how weak they actually are.  It has been an interesting week, for sure.

All this is called growing up and progressing.  These are not comfortable times but they are exciting times.  What else will I learn?  What more will I become?  What is the Lord making of me?  Whose life will I affect and help?
It was scary getting to this place and it is still scary getting through it.  But with the Lord, all things are possible and with faith things will turn out the way He plans.

Sunday

I have been stressed out lately. I noticed that my mind races with worries and feelings of inadequacy during these times. It can be really draining.
Finally the Sabbath comes and I have the opportunity to lay my problems down. I prayed for peace today and received it during church. My mind was fairly quiet and I was able to listen to the lessons. For once, I did not have worries.
Lately I have been very grateful for my relationship with God and for the ability to pray. I don't think that I could survive this life without it. My mind races and worries so much. If I did not have Heavenly Father to give my concerns to, I would go crazy. He is constantly helping me and reassuring me. He is not going to make my life easier, I don't think, but He is going to support and help me through it.
I had a friend today ask me if I believed in prayer. I told her that if there is one thing I wanted her to know it is that God hears and answers prayers. I know that to be true and I am very grateful for it.

OK.  I'm trying this blog thing again.  This entry I'm not really saying much because it's a test entry.  But I hope to write a full entry later today.  Keep tuned.
