Before I start on my true thoughts, I have to make a confession. I have a Pinterest account. Yes, I do. I got four folders: recipes, house, clothes and cool pictures. My favorite so far has to be the House folder because I love looking at different decorations and stuff I would like to have later on in my life.
I went nutty recently. After talking to more female friends, I realized that guys really don't ask girls out on dates. I can't say anything bad about them because I am guilty of it also. The next morning I had a thought that maybe I should ask these girls out on dates. Then I remembered that my life is about service. These girls shouldn't feel bad for not being asked out. (I hate sounding like I am righteous or anything because I am not. I say things and do things because I just feel like I need to do them, not because I want to look so righteous to other people.)
Once I decided on this, my prayer has been more meaningful and I added some things into my prayer. I started to pray to see girls as daughters of God and that I would respect them and honor them. This has a really interesting effect on me. I started to care more about how they feel in different situations. Also, I feel like I am following what God wants me to do/what my Patriarchal blessing tells me to do.
Another interesting thing I decided to do is comment on their "beauties" that I recognize in them. Everyone deserves to see what God has given them and recognize them as blessings. I personally don't recognize them but my friends do and I appreciate so much when they tell me these attributes that I have that I have never recognized. I have nothing to be proud of because I am nothing. (Mosiah 4:11)
"At times we may even feel insignificant, invisible, alone, or forgotten. But always remember—you matter to Him!" -President Uchtdorf-
"Sisters, wherever you are, whatever your circumstances may be, you are not forgotten. No matter how dark your days may seem, no matter how insignificant you may feel, no matter how overshadowed you think you may be, your Heavenly Father has not forgotten you. In fact, He loves you with an infinite love." -President Uchtdorf-
