i won't sleep if you won't sleep

no worries everyone, my insomnia is back. or maybe i'm just up because i'm stressing over everything i have to do this week. and trying to figure out how i'm going to have time for it all.

yeah, that's about where i'm at right now.


you know how sometimes you struggle with something, and the answer hits you in the face like a brick, and then you feel stupid for not having figured it out sooner, because uh, hello, its a freaking brick?

and you know how in the scriptures, the word remember is repeated over and over again?

and you know how its used so many times because, oh its probably important that we remember?

well. i forgot.

when i started this post, i had something completely different written. and then i went to refer to an old post. and i saw this, so i read it again (much needed). but that wasn't what i was looking for, so i kept scrolling.

i found what i was looking for. and i read it. and then i found what i was really looking for. you know, the thing i had so stupidly forgotten about.

"You need His help, and you know that you need His help. You cannot do it alone. You will come to realize that and recognize that more and more as the years pass. So live that in good conscience you can speak with the Lord. Get on your knees and thank Him for His goodness to you and express to Him the righteous desires of your hearts. The miracle of it all is that He hears. He responds. He answers--not always as we might wish He would answer, but there is no question in my mind that He answers."
-Gordon B. Hinckley


i remember now. and somehow, i don't think i'm going to have a problem falling asleep.



p.s. my english teacher showed us this link this week. for all you who asked me what in the world i was going to do with an english major, there you go ;)
