   Why me?
Alma 34
30 And now, my brethren, I would that, after ye have received so many witnesses, seeing that the holy scriptures testify of these things, ye come forth and bring fruit unto repentance.>
31 Yea, I would that ye would come forth and harden not your hearts any longer; for behold, now is the time and the day of your salvation; and therefore, if ye will repent and harden not your hearts, immediately shall the great plan of redemption be brought about unto you.
32 For behold, this life is the time for men to prepare to meet God; yea, behold the day of this life is the day for men to perform their labors.
33 And now, as I said unto you before, as ye have had so many witnesses, therefore, I beseech of you that ye do not procrastinate the day of your repentance until the end; for after this day of life, which is given us to prepare for eternity, behold, if we do not improve our time while in this life, then cometh the night of edarkness wherein there can be no labor performed.
34 Ye cannot say, when ye are brought to that awful crisis, that I will repent, that I will return to my God. Nay, ye cannot say this; for that same spirit which doth possess your bodies at the time that ye go out of this life, that same spirit will have power to possess your body in that eternal world.

John 3
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

And we all can live again, as Christ Jesus does. We, as He, will all be blessed with eternal salvation--joyful life forever--if we do what's right and of God the Father and Jesus Christ.

Love, and may Their Holy Spirit be with you. Pocket hugs. ^_^ Glomp!

:D

Why is it I have so much trouble with guys? This evening, Starflower called me because her coworker—who I have never seen before, at least not at work with her, and not to know him—wanted my phone number. She said he thinks I’m pretty. I was wearing my dragon shirt and older jeans and my boots. My hair was in a simple, not even perfect ponytail. No makeup. Complexion not too bad, but not in the best shape. And he wants my number. Too shy to ask me himself, according to Starflower (probably just as well) but he asks her.

I go to Institute, do my hair, pick out clothes for it—though I will admit, sometimes or usually they’re unusual outfits. So that could be part of the problem. But no guy is interested, at least not that I am willing to show interest in return. Not that much has happened where I didn't return a guy's interest...but still. Why?

I don't date guys who aren't members of the same church. It's not to be a snob, but I have multiple reasons. For one thing, I believe in marriage for time and all eternity, and I believe that the proper authority and proceedings for that can only be in an LDS temple, between two people belonging to the LDS Church and "qualified" for temple recommends. So why date and risk breaking your heart, his, or both? Or not marrying in the temple? Some people can do it and remain strong, but then what? And I don't want to have that situation for myself.
