Just Remember I Love You

When it all goes crazy and the thrill is gone
When the days get rainy and the nights get long
When you get that feelin you were born to lose
Starin' at your ceiling feelin' the blues

When there's so much trouble that you want to cry
When your love has crumbled and you don't know why
When your hopes are fading and they can't be found
Dreams have left you waiting friends let you down

Well just remember I love you
And it'll be all right
Just Remember i Love you
All that I can say just remember I love you
Maybe all your blues will fade away

When you need a lover and you're down to so low
And you start to wonder but you never know
When it seems like sorrow is your only friend
Knowing that tomorrow you'll feel this way again

When the blues come cryin' at the break of dawn
When the rain keeps fallin' but the rainbow's gone
When you feel like cryin' but the tears wont come
Then your dreams are dyin' when you're on the run

Just remember I love you
And it'll be all right
Just remember I love you
All that I can say just remember I love you
Maybe all your blues will wash away

My lovely apartment

At one time we did have a couch, but a previous roommate came and took it.


This is where I spend most of my time at night, eating and doing homework



My Room

Welcome to my room

Another angle of my room


My bed closet and Chair


This is where I spend my nights

Patience

During the last week I was in conversation with a couple of different friends about personal frustrations.  Sometimes it seems that we dont ever progress.   We are stuck in this hole with no way out.  You analyze your situation and you try to figure out what is going wrong - but you dont make any discoveries.  The frustration continues and you wonder when it will ever end? After talking about this with these friends, and much personal reflection I was reading my scriptures on my way to school and came across this scripture. 

"For a small moment have I forsaken thee, but with great 
mercies will I gather thee.  In a little wrath I hid my face
from thee for a moment, but with everlasting kindness
will I have mercy on thee, saith the Lord thy Redeemer."

As I read that scripture I was greatly touched.  Though at this moment I could quite possibly be in this "small moment of forsakenness", I felt the peace that soon this moment will be complete.  Even though at this time in my life I feel weary and alone, someone, Jesus, is watching out for me, and in his time I will be gathered in again.

At the top of my scriptures is written this passage:

Sometimes we feel forsaken by God, but it's the final test
for us to stand on our feet in loyalty to our God.

I do not remember writing this in my scriptures.  I do not know if it is something that I thought at one time, or if it is a quote from someone else.  But in its simpleness it is quite profound. I was reminded that life is a process that is taken day by day.  We move along this pathway of life from level to level.  Maybe I am at a point in my life where I am ready to move to the next level, and this is the trial and tribulation that I must pass through to prove myself worthy for greater things?  Maybe it's just a simple trial of my faith for God to see where I will place it?  In man and myself, or in Him?  

Whatever it is, I have found comfort in this scripture.  I am where I should be, doing the things that I am supposed to be doing.  Even though I am in the midst of some trial that I am struggling to understand, there is a wonderful truth that I have been reminded of. 

"Fear not, little children, for you are mine, and I have
overcome the world, and you are of them that my
Father hath given me;  And none of them that my
Father hath given me shall be lost.  And the Father
and I are one.  I am in the Father and the Father in
me; and inasmuch as ye have received me, ye are in me
and I in you.  Wherefore, I am in your midst, and I am
the good shepherd and the stone of Israel.  He that 
buildeth upon this rock shall never fall.  And the day
cometh that you shall hear my voice and see me, and know 
that I am.  Watch, therefore, that ye may be ready.  Even so.
Amen."
