Sometimes you're left unknowing

I don't think I realized when I made the goal to keep up a blog every day for the next 365 days just how hard it was going to be. Not only am I dot in the habit of writing in a journal, something I have worked to overcome, with no avail. I just didn't realize how hard it is to come up with something that is of value to type about every 24 hours. I think about this blog during my day, everyday trying to come up with something that may be of value to someone who is struggling with life, or needs to feel uplifted, or even  something that will be of value to me when I look back on these blog posts.
My big struggle right now is that I don't know what to tell anyone when I don't even know what to tell myself. Life is messy and right now I don't have very many answers to anything.
I like science because it teaches you to be okay with asking questions that may not have answers, well right now I feel like the majority of my life consists of questions that I don't really have answers to. Which is probably really healthy for me, however on the other hand I also like science because it teaches me to search and study out answers from every source I can, it teaches me to look everywhere I can to see if truth can be found, and to be able to use my knowledge to sort out the truth from the false.
Well I have been searching and studying for answers and I have  found some, but mostly I have just found a huge lack of patience in myself, patience that I thought I would have learned by now, but somehow haven't.
So my thought for now that I am willing to give is that sometimes you don't find answers, sometimes you're left unknowing. It's hard to accept and it's frustrating to face, but this is reality not fantasy and sometimes it doesn't make sense, because we can not see the big picture. Sometimes we catch glimpses and tiny pieces. But it's like starring at the night sky, if you get out away from everything and give yourself some space you see more and more of the stars that shine. The farther away from the distraction of city lights you get the brighter the stars appear to shine,  but it's just not possible with our eyes the way they are to see all of the lights in the heavens there are far to many, and our eyes just can't see them all.
Life is like that, give yourself space and time away from distraction and you will find brightness that sheds light on the subject, but there's no way to see it all. You just have to accept what you can see and let that be good enough till you eyes adjust and you can see more. And like the night sky, sometimes there are clouds and you can't see the light of the stars at all, well those times you just have to realize that the light is still there, just because you can't see it at the moment does not mean that it longer exists. You just have to take a deep breath and wait for it to pass. You can't see it all, and there are even sometimes when you see very little, and it's okay you don't need it all right now, in fact there is no way we could even handle it all right now. Yes sometimes you are left unknowing, but there are also other times, other time when whether or not you see the sky at all you know, with everything that you are you know.

The Shame Game

     Exactly 450 days ago I got married, the day that everyone says is the happiest day of your life. I was happy, incredibly happy. But happiness is a strange and interesting emotion, it's not like instant gratification or even like the anticipation of a surprise, it's soft and quiet. Happiness comes through the application of true principles in life sometimes the result is so subtle that you will completely miss the happiness if you don't know that it is real and existing right in front of you. Happiness is like a habit and if you stop nourishing it, it will fade and completely disappear, most of the time we don't notice the absence of light and happiness until it is so drastic that it would take a great change of action to restore it.     On January 24th my husband moved out after almost 13 months of marriage. I had always known marriage would be hard and that it took effort and change to make it work, I saw my older siblings in their marriages and I knew when I de

Starting somewhere

    I miss writing. I miss the way it sooths my soul, the way it empowers me to look at the details of my life in a positive light. There has been so much going on in my life lately that writing basically got buried in a corner forgotten.      Some of it might be due to the fact that havent felt very positively about my life lately. But I miss the feeling of being in-love with life, I miss feeling alive. Somewhere inside of myself I know that if I want to feel those things again I need to find the courage to pull out the things I love and dust them off. At first it might not be very pretty, like a painter that is out of practice there are bound to be some duds before there are masterpieces.     Here I am making it full circle with a goal that is the very reason I started this blog, I want to start writing everyday. Writing things that I hope can help and inspire others and maybe in the writings of my soul I will be able to refind myself.     Its interesting where life takes you and

Complacency

2 Nephi 28:21 " And others will he pacify, and lull them away into carnal security, that they will say: All is well in Zion; yeah Zion prospereth, all is well- and thus the Devil cheateth their souls, and leadeth them away carefully down to Hell"  Complacency, it's a curse of this generation of which we live. Everyone seeks for comfort, but don't get comforting lifestyles confused with comfortable lifestyles.. A comforting life style can bring you peace, joy and growth, but is not void of hard times, trial and uncomfortable stretching in our soul. But the growth and trials can bring a lot of peace, and reassurance and in the end it's comforting. A comfortable life style is limited to what is within the lines of our comfort zone and it limits us. Our body will be comfortable and reassured that a life of ease is stable and unwavering. But the soul will long for the freedom of growth. Don't barter away your soul for the complacency of this mortal life.
