This is a post I wrote on my other blog and I wanted to share it with you as a starting post.
~QUESTS~
In days long past brave knights set out on QUESTS to fight off dragons and save the maiden and then they would get married and live happily ever after...
My QUEST is harder... I must rise each and every day to face and to fight the temptation "dragons" and save the virtue that is mine and continue to be the handmaiden of the lord that I try my very hardest to be, so someday I can fall in love with a man who is honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, praiseworthy, doing good to all men and loves me more than anyone except our Father in Heaven and together we can ride in triumph up to the Holy Temple, to be sealed together forever... And as we face more dragons each day, we can and WILL endure to the end and live happily FOREVER AFTER...
I hope to meet this man someday and for all I know I might have already met him. But first I must prepare myself while I am in the years of getting ready for such a journey and how have I started?
Well, I read my Book Of Mormon every day, I write in my scripture journal about what I read every day, I write in my normal journal every day, I do my best to keep clean thoughts and an unclean one comes I take that thought and I simply BLOW IT UP!!! I keep the commandments, I keep the word of wisdom, I keep the law of chastity, I encourage others to do so with me and when my dragons get bigger and more fierce I get down on my knees and pray to my Lord above.
I would like you all to know that I am not perfect *gasp* and when I say I do these things I mean that I simply TRY MY HARDEST!!!! There are some things that I've been doing for so long that they have become a second nature to me but there are still times when I am tired and don't want to read my scriptures but I do it anyway because I have learned to love it and I look forward to it each day.
