Rather, it is a pathway marked by forks and turnings. Decisions are constantly before us. To make them wisely, courage is needed: the courage to say, 'No,' the courage to say, 'Yes.' Decisions do determine destiny. The call for courage comes constantly to each of us. It has ever been so, and so shall it ever be.

how to gracefully handle others’ trials, challenges and
burdens. It has been said, “Duty makes us do things well, but love
makes us do things beautifully.” Our goal is to try and see with a
spiritual perspective. As a single, adult sister whose burden
has lasted for decades, I have been frustrated as ward
members, and some in leadership
roles, have seemingly dismissed my pain. While their intentions
were to help, they caused more heartache and
I’ve sometimes concluded I could not go again to them for
comfort. </span></span><span class="eop"><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "segoe ui" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

in class crying; I was so upset I left the room.
A sister came out to find me and after telling her my woes,
she responded, “Everyone has problems.” While this statement is
true, it felt dismissive of my feelings. One would
never say to someone with cancer, “Lots of people have
cancer.” Another unhelpful question was, “Is the glass half
full or half empty?” What I was looking for was someone who
would listen and care. They did not </span></span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">“cheer up the sad and make me feel
glad.”</span><sup><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt; line-height: 200%;">4</span></sup><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "segoe ui" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

have tried to get my pain across to a priesthood
leader and all he could say was “There are worse things than being
single. Just keep reading your scriptures and going to church.”
Yes, there are worse things, but for me this is my Abrahamic trial: I
have been reading my scriptures consistently since I was 16 and have
always been faithful in my church attendance. Those
suggestions did not help me. What I wanted to hear
was, “I know this is hard for you. I know you wanted this badly.
Things are hard right now, but slowly it will get better. You know
how to make that happen. I have faith in you and we will be there
for you.” </span><span style="font-family: "segoe ui" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

the hurting person to take the time to articulate the magnitude of the loss and
longing. It’s also challenging for the receiver to just listen
without interrupting and without finding simple solutions. When a
hurting person is not heard, it is easy to feel like a lost sheep no
one knows how to rescue. The lost sheep may get louder, hoping
someone will hear, or it may give up and be silent. Sometimes I’ve
felt that I must go through this trial on my own. </span><span style="font-family: "segoe ui" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

employed at first contact. We all have people who we go
to when we have struggles. For me those people are the ones who know how
to validate, and never dismiss or demean me. Validation
means substantiating<span style="background: white;">, confirming, or giving
legal force to a concern. Having someone
confirm that your pain is real can
be liberating. Validation</span> gives a clear message
that you are heard, seen, and cared about: it puts the hurting
person at ease, feeling they are in safe hands, and it shows
compassion. </span><span style="font-family: "segoe ui" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

comes empathy. Empathy comes easy to some, perhaps as
a spiritual gift, but the skill can be
learned. Do not mistake empathy with sympathy. Empathy
is the psychological identification with or vicarious experiences of
the feelings, thoughts or attitudes of another. The Savior is the perfect
example of empathy. Sympathy is
simpler and less effective in helping others. It includes
impulses of compassion but one does not need to “walk in their shoes” to
understand. </span><span style="font-family: "segoe ui" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

article about anxiety, in the March 2017 Ensign, included a

and hints are useful for all kinds of troubles when dealing with others.
My favorite is what it says about empathy, “<span style="color: #333333;">Be
genuine. Listen in order to understand their feelings, appreciate why they
struggle, and communicate what you understand. Empathy is the most effective
quality of counseling.” </span> </span><span style="font-family: "segoe ui" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

empathy. Perhaps you’ve had a pet that knows when you are sad or sick and
will stay by your side? There is a video of elephants at a
zoo showing empathy. A baby elephant is stuck in a small
ravine with water and is trying to get out. It tries
three times, nearly making it each time, but cannot seem to do it
on its own. A bigger elephant moves closer to the scene and
stands there for a few seconds watching. This is sympathy. Then the
bigger elephant gets down in the ravine and somehow gets the smaller
elephant up and out of the situation. This is empathy. This
elephant got it. As Linda K. Burton taught in October conference of
2012, He observed and then he served. </span><span style="font-family: "segoe ui" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

While they are there, I sometimes feel they

pat on the back, while empathy is a long warm embrace. As someone who

has been over twenty years since my college days, my roommates are still some
of my best confidants. No matter how long it has been since we
spoke, visited in person, how many children they have, or the difficulty

own trials of parenting but never paint the picture that I have it
easier. They validate well and show empathy. I know they love me.

roommates do. When trying to help, counsel, and shepherd we
should connect with something in ourselves that understands that
feeling. Maybe you don’t have that person’s trial, but perhaps
another situation in your life might have caused you the same emotion. That
is bearing each other’s burdens. While I’ve never been pregnant, I have
felt loss for a miscarriage, a stillborn birth or the death of a
child. I have wept with a sister as she shared with me the early
arrival and death of her last child. These, and other
situations, are human experiences. Please imagine that it is
you in the trial and then you will be able to help. Elder Clayton

Yesterday I wrote in one of my other blogs about prayer and praying <a href="http://myfirstlovethescriptures.blogspot.com/2015/08/angry-prayer.html" target="_blank">angry</a>. 10 people read it. One commented on Facebook. <br />
<br />
I went to Stake Conference tonight with mom. I was so afraid it was going to be about "family". General Conference was and I put that away not reading it while I was waiting. <br />
<br />
But something happened tonight.<br />
<br />
I'm not happy about my life. <br />
<br />
But here's what's happened. One of the counselors in the stake presidency talked about "service". I started to cry, not about that but about this answer I so want to give me hope that I would get married some day. Something from the temple or a blessing to keep me going. The thought that came to me was "Am I going to live my life any differently if I don't get the answer/prompting?" and the answer is no. No, I'm not. I'll keep doing the right things even though I don't know how I'm going to do it. So, that's my answer, my prompting of sorts. I'm going to keep doing the right things even though I may not get what I want.

Courage. What is it and how do we get it? I believe we get it from doing. From going forward when you really want to give up.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.5599994659424px; margin-bottom: 0.85em; margin-top: 0.85em;">
My name is Becky. I’m 42, unmarried with no children. I was raised in a family of 7 kids where all 6 of my siblings have anywhere from 3 to 6 kids. I have dogs instead. Actually, yesterday (august 23rd) I acted in courage by myself with no support and had one of my dogs put down. He was old and very sick. So now I’m just a one-dog dog owner. Hard at the time, but as the days pass, it will just be a memory of a few minutes. What is hard is keeping going on alone.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.5599994659424px; margin-bottom: 0.85em; margin-top: 0.85em;">
My family of origin is unique. My parents are 17 years apart. Mom married the first guy who kissed her at age 21. Dad was 39. He fasted from food for 2 weeks only drinking water to petition the Lord for a wife and family. He got it. I once tried fasting for 2.5 days and had dysentery! He had five kids close together and then due to a cord wrapped around baby number 5, they quit multiplying and replenishing for 9 years until Joseph Fielding Smith said in Priesthood Session at General Conference “don’t block up the well springs of life”. Dad was a follow the prophet kind of guy, so as I like to say came home and had a “talk” with Mom and 15 months later I was born. Dad was 55 when I was born. Not wanting me to be an only child of sorts they had my sister 18 months later. Due to the age difference in siblings, I became an aunt at the age of 7. By 5<span style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em; vertical-align: baseline;">th</span> grade literally ½ of my siblings were married. I lived and breathed marriage and family. As a youth I babysat my life away. I had permanent jobs every Friday night for 3 years. I was the best known babysitter in the ward. One year I made 2 thousand dollars just babysitting. I preferred playing mom over going to Youth Dances. Family was all I wanted and all I planned for. I figured I’d do what the rest of my siblings did- go to Ricks College, then BYU and then get married. I did go to Ricks, I went on a mission and then to USU instead. I did have one sister who didn’t marry till she was 32 and I watched as she cried and was lonely and had nothing like the others did.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.5599994659424px; margin-bottom: 0.85em; margin-top: 0.85em;">
Those 2 examples, my dad and my sister engrained in me that singleness was not desirable. Happiness came from family life and in 1995 “<a href="https://www.lds.org/topics/family-proclamation" style="-webkit-transition: color 0.3s; color: #262626; text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.3s;" target="_blank">The Family: A Proclamation to the World</a>” confirmed that. At the age of 36 I had the opportunity to marry. I took it even though there were improper actions and loud and clear red flags with this man. He was not what I wanted, but I thought he could become that. At 3 weeks of marriage I knew it wasn’t going to last and that I would eventually need to get out. It was abusive in many ways. I stayed for 17 months. When my mom decided to leave the state I left with her. In doing that I knew that I might never marry again, but instead be single and lonely.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.5599994659424px; margin-bottom: 0.85em; margin-top: 0.85em;">
It’s been 3 years now and I’ve been fired from four jobs (probably PSTD) and only been asked out from men who are undesirable. If I pursued them I would be making a mistake again. It infuriates me that there are men that find me desirable, but that do nothing for me. The good men are taken.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.5599994659424px; margin-bottom: 0.85em; margin-top: 0.85em;">
So here I am in an LDS community and family where marriage and family life is it and I have not. I’ve gone through the ringer of emotions through the last 20 years of anger, bitterness and yes at times even happiness. I’ve traveled too, taking the opportunities when they presented themselves. Now however I live in low income housing and travel is not feasible. I deal with anger every day. It’s a problem. I’m angry at family members, at my ex and those involved in the relationship, I’m angry that girls camp in Idaho stinks compared to girls camp in Washington, I’m angry that mothers with 3 kids are still germaphobes, I’m angry that I live in the 2<span style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em; vertical-align: baseline;">nd</span> largest LDS populated state and the single adult program in Twin Falls Idaho is only a soup kitchen for senior citizens. The list could go on. Oh yes I’m angry! I suppose I’m mostly angry at God for handing me this life. I signed up for this?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.5599994659424px; margin-bottom: 0.85em; margin-top: 0.85em;">
At 17 I received my patriarchal blessing. I was terrified that it would say I wouldn’t get married. I fasted for that specifically. It talks about a “young man coming into my life” and me being a “true mother in Israel.” No such thing has happened. I’ve wanted to give up. I’ve wanted to quite going to church, to give up studying my scriptures, to stop being serviceable,(after all I have nothing and I sure wish someone would serve me!)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.5599994659424px; margin-bottom: 0.85em; margin-top: 0.85em;">
But I continue to do what is right. I have a testimony. The Book of Mormon is true and we have a living prophet on the earth. I get up and go to church every Sunday and come home glad I did, even though I go out of duty. I teach primary, I go to girls camp, I attend the temple, even doing sealings . I call the last the ”slit your wrist activity’. I can get sealed for dead people, but not myself? Have I thought of suicide? Sure. But I’m chicken, I don’t have the courage for that thank goodness, and I know it would be worse than if I stayed. So I stay and deal with the life I wish I could give starving kids in Africa. They would LOVE my life!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.5599994659424px; margin-bottom: 0.85em; margin-top: 0.85em;">
I’m happy for friends who have great families, I really am. I tell them how blessed they are as I walk around with this feeling of emptiness and nothingness of my own life. I’m afraid I’ll be single the rest of my 40 to 50 plus years. I’m afraid I’ll be poor and no one will take care of me in my old age and no one but ward members will come to my funeral even though I have 26 nieces and nephews and almost 16 great nieces and nephews. Yes, I come from a big family, but they have their trials, challenges and woes. Most likely I’m not even in the top 5 things to worry about.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.5599994659424px; margin-bottom: 0.85em; margin-top: 0.85em;">
So every week I go to church alone and sit with families and serve while most don’t know the whole me or what I went through that week. I go to family get togethers and am happy to see people, to actually have a family for a short while. I go to work even though I never wanted a career and it doesn’t fill my bucket. I do everything I do, because what else am I suppose to do? Quit? Give up? Not an option. I guess that is courage. I don’t feel courageous, but I get up and do it every day even though I just want to stay in bed.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.5599994659424px; margin-bottom: 0.85em; margin-top: 0.85em;">
I tell myself it could be worse and I realize that others reading this have had worse. They have lost children or spouses to death, they have dealt with cancer or other terminal or permanent illnesses. There is a list that is very long of things worse than being single but for me this is my Abrahamic trial.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.5599994659424px; margin-bottom: 0.85em; margin-top: 0.85em;">
Right now I’m praying for the anger to go away. I’m submissive to this will Heavenly Father wants for me, but most times I’m not happy about it.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.5599994659424px; margin-bottom: 0.85em; margin-top: 0.85em;">
The key to courage? Just keep on keeping on. I hold to the iron rod to that great reward in Heaven.</div>

The Plan the Lord has for me.<br />
Kindness, Mercy, Justice I seek,<br />
but it all by-passes me.<br />
<br />
My fruit is weak, my crown is small<br />
but bigger it would be if I could just<br />
humble myself happily to Thee.<br />
<br />
I fight his will, I want my way,<br />
It's righteous desires I seek.<br />
But I must wait and wait and wait<br />
and be like Abraham meek.<br />
<br />
I have not seen the Lord as he,<br />
I do not talk face to face,<br />
But I too know the plan is real<br />
and eternal life comforts me<br />
<br />
Priesthood hands have blessed my life,<br />
I have believed them true,<br />
But nothing matches up you see,<br />
A mother I will probably not be.<br />
<br />
But can I turn away the God<br />
who lends my breathe to me?<br />
who died for me that I might<br />
with my forever family be.<br />
<br />
He forgives my sins, he comforts me<br />
with the gospel truth restored<br />
Through scriptures that I can read<br />
and choose to trust or run away.<br />
<br />
Is my plan a plan of hope,<br />
or just sick ironies?<br />
Although I do not fit the mold,<br />
I know He still loves me.<br />

The kids at Robert Stewart Middle School love me, but no more. I"ll only run into them in the community now. A second grade teacher complained about how I didn't do her lesson plans to her liking and so boom! I'm gone. I'm jobless. <br />
<br />
I still have the money from mom's gift. I still have a very part time job on the weekends. Hopefully I'll be able to get unemployment too. I still have help to find me a new job and now I have lots of time to do it. <br />

A few months ago our stake president gave a fireside and he talked some about the 3 laws of financial prosperity. They are Tithing, Fast Offerings and Keeping the Sabbath Day Holy. It got me thinking and Even though I'm a beneficiary of fast offerings (the church buys my toilet paper and other bathroom things) I wasn't paying it. But then I started to and I've seen the blessings. <br />
<br />
1. Someone paid a month of my storage unit on accident. I told them there was a mistake, but I still reap the benefits.<br />
<br />
2. My rent didn't double, but just went up by 4 dollars because they went with what I said almost a year ago- subbing only 3 to 4 days a week, but in reality I sub 5 days a week and make more than they figured. I'm not going to argue with them.<br />
<br />
I think there are many other blessings that are happening like getting TV at home. <br />
<br />
I'm a believer! <br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I am fearful for the future. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://static.ddmcdn.com/gif/fear-allure-halloween-121025-679132-.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://static.ddmcdn.com/gif/fear-allure-halloween-121025-679132-.jpg" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I haven't been able to <b>pay all my bills </b>on my own for months and even years, especially since my marriage. The church has had to help and so has my mom. I'm on food stamps which is a blessing and live in low income housing. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I was <b>diagnosed with</b> 1. Major depressive disorder (moderate). (not a surprise!) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm going through <b>Vocational Rehabilitation, </b>a state program to help me get a better job. I could of picked going to school, but that caused me a lot of stress and tons of tears. In 12 days I cried 10 of them. Not good odds. I was fearful of that too. Picking the right thing, being successful, getting a job afterwords, going into more debt to do it when I'm trying to get out of debt. So I picked having them help me find a job, but I"m fearful with that too. I worry about shooting too high or too low. I worry about getting a job and quitting the one I have now and then needed to go back to subbing but them not letting me. See I was nearly let go from that job last spring. What if the new job doesn't work out? What if I go through burn out as I have in the past and need to change jobs again. What if? What if? What if?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">How will I support myself for the rest of my life? Mom will not always be there with money. I don't have health benefits and what if my health goes bad? What if I need to get another car and can't afford it? More what if's I'm sure I'm missing some more I haven't even thought of. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I need someone to tell me It's all going to work out, that Heavenly Father has a plan, that somehow, some way things will get better. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I used to travel. I used to have hope for the future. I used to enjoy life. But the reality of just making it, just holding on financially and otherwise for the rest of my life and not really enjoying it looks like what the future holds for me. I don't think I'll be getting married any time soon. I used to have so many blessings that said I would. But now that doesn't happen in blessings anymore. There is no one here in Twin and I've gained weight and my hair is short and that's just the physical stuff, not the diagnosis's.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">How does one be happy with all that now and in the future? Acceptance? But acceptance isn't happiness. It's being resigned to my lot in life. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRuu1DncgwnMkMvc2SVnvQTh2j0V7QVeDHyDWsOvCKxJhNv9tWvOg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRuu1DncgwnMkMvc2SVnvQTh2j0V7QVeDHyDWsOvCKxJhNv9tWvOg" /></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Maybe I could get on disability income and still work some hours and that would pay the bills. That needs to be my plan B and that is up in the air and uncertain too. It also means low income housing and foods stamps for the rest of my life. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But I keep on keeping on, only I cry more. I teach primary. I go to work. I go to social things, but am I happy? NO. This diagnosis has taken the life out of me. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">One of the most difficult things is that I have no one to share my feelings with that validate me. That have known me for more than 2 years here in Twin. No one that knows what I used to be like. That knows more than just my disabilities. No one that I can really just sob to and get it all out and have them do and say the things I need to hear that are correct too. I know some will say some things but it won't be helpful. There are people whose advice I don't trust. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Another difficult things is no one to give me a blessing- that has the spirit of prophecy like I had in Brother Thompson. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The whole thing is just awful and so not about Jason anymore although at times things from the past will pop up; Jason, the Twitchell's and family members who have hurt me. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But there. I got it all down and hardly any one will read it, comment or care- especially my family. </span></div>

<br />
Well I finally went to the museum in Blackfoot Idaho, not inside, but the gift shop and outside. We told the lady at the desk that we'd be back Saturday (it was Tuesday, 9.17.13). Patricia Glenn and I went to Rexburg to go the temple since the Twin Falls temple is closed for a month. Rumor has it that it's mold that is the problem. I can't imagine how they got mold here. Seattle? I've experienced that first hand, but dry farm land southern Idaho... mold? Oh well, It's closed all September and on sat we are going on a little road trip again and will pay 3 dollars to get into the museum. <br />

4 little kittens that were rescued on a freeway in between SLC and Twin that I kept over night on labor day weekend till the shelter opened up. I had them in this box outside and then in the bathroom and both places drove Coco mad. The white stuff is rice. They didn't eat any of it and they spilled the water. The Christensen's daughter rescued them and they were pawned off on me. I finally had to put them in the car overnight. Out of sight, out of mind for Coco. They crawled out of the box and all over the car and me as I drove them to the shelter. 2 of them had the cutest personalities. I wish I could of kept one. The Christensen's gave me 5 dollars and the shelter took that for them! </div>

This one was my first and I gave it to the Christensen's since they do so much for me like feed me, give me veggies to cook, give me blessings, teach me now to make chicken noodle soup home made, let me borrow movies and 100 other little things.

I recently read this book. I loved it because it taught HOW to get it into the investigators heart; HOW to pray, HOW to keep the Sabbath day holy, HOW to study a book of scripture. All things that most don't know how to do. We often baptize people who don't get it, who don't know how to do these things, but this tells us HOW to help get it IN to them! <br />

People joined a. closeness to God they saw in others, b. happiness and
sense of peace, c. better sense of purposefulness and direction. 3. Decoupling: “I’m going to ask you a

His twin was always picking on him and he took it. Later in his life he got picked on too and he took it. Was he a door mat that couldn't stand up for himself or was he just more Christlike than the rest of us, turning the other cheek? Looking back I think he needed anti-depressants at least the last 20 years of his life. Ya. I was 13 when he had his stroke and just days away from turning 33 when he died. So 20 years is about right.<br />
<br />
Dad and I have a strange connection. Maybe the other 6 kids feel that way too, but here are my stories about him. Some I have shared before. Others I have not. <br />
<br />
1. I'm here on earth due to him and President Joseph Fielding Smith. <a href="http://becksome.blogspot.com/2013/03/general-conference-how-i-came-to-be.html" target="_blank">Here you can read </a>about how Dad went to priesthood session and was pricked in his heart with the 'Don't block up the well springs of life", comment from a prophet.<br />
<br />
2. He wrote a poem to the older 5 kids and hung it on the Christmas tree to announce my impending birth. None of the other kids got that. The Poem:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now children Dear, You listen here,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
About a gift to the family,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That will come some time</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When fireworks are popping;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It may be one, it may be two</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But it will keep us all hopping. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To get things done,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To service a certain covering,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To hold, to comfort, to carry, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To bundle, to trundle off to bed. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To feed, to cuddle, to brag on;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It may be him or may be her,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It should be one or the other. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It could be both if they be two.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Or both could be one or the other.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's going to be a little baby,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Brother, or sister, or Twins...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Or something or other. </div>
<br />
Dad was hoping I'd be a twin. I wasn't, but Sarah was born 18 months latter. <br />
<br />
3. I'm the one that was first to find Dad after his stroke. I came home and the TV was blaring! He couldn't get paper in an envelope. He didn't speak to me. He tried to start the car with out keys. We almost got in a car accident on the way to the dentist. <br />
<br />
4. I was there when he died, along with Ruth and my mom of course, but mom let me say when to pull the plug. There were other looks and words between us that day. Kind of funny to think of him being the one to say - OK, time for Becky to come to earth and me saying OK, time for dad to go home.<br />
<br />
5. I've had experiences with him since he's been gone too. Times when I know he's aware of me, there or looking down. He sees me struggling, crying, etc. I've been told that in a blessing; That he is busy but aware. Thoughts of him will just come out of now where, or scenes will be presented to my minds eye. <a href="http://becksome.blogspot.com/2010/07/family-is-forforever-and-viel-is-thin.html" target="_blank"> I've written about those too on here. </a><br />
<br />
6. Since moving to Idaho I've had experiences too. One while praying and crying in Nampa. In my minds eye came a view of someone tapping Dad on his shoulder and pointing to me kneeling and crying. He's aware! Another after the debacle with the Bishop and I was a mess, all of a sudden Dad popped into my head out of no where. He was aware. Dad was single for 39 years. He would of understand my pain and told me to let it go, to turn the other cheek, because that's what he would of done.<br />
<br />
Those are my special experiences with dad. There are other little things I could mention when he was a live to explain our connection, but I don't share it all. I wonder if my siblings have feelings like I do. If they feel they have a special connection with dad and what their stories are.

It's been a few weeks now and I feel silly for waiting this long to go to a doctor and say I'm on this med and it's not working. I thought it was just my life situations, yet I could not see a way out of being me. I didn't have these problems to this extent in Washington. I know I can't blame Idaho for it. I feel and handle the marriage and debt thing differently after almost 2 years, so I just didn't know what to do. While it has not fixed my need to speed while driving, it has fixed my instinct to get mean and angry. <br />
<br />
For instance I could not for the life of me stop being angry at the kids at Gooding HS. I could not stop myself from saying insulting things to those kids. I was just as stupid as they were, just in a different way. I sabotaged myself, it would seem.<br />

<br />
I've been fired 3 times from 3 different PSR companies in 10 months. PSR stands for psychosocial rehabilitation. It is a job that has no handbook, no how-to manual or even a PSR for dumbies book. It's assumed that because you have a 4 year degree in something related to psychology that you know how to deal with people with mental illnesses. Illnesses that are for the most part not medicated.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I did the job for 1.5 years. A week before I lost the last position I thought to myself "I'm finally getting this. I finally know how to do this job!". Ironic or just bad timing? I had done lots of research and found resources, but the learning curve was pretty big and in reality it goes back to me, for I've learned also that it's about boundaries. I've had terrible boundaries in my personal as well as professional life. Depressing to think about that at age 40 I'm finally getting it. Once again I am a late bloomer.<br />
<br />
I've made some of the same mistakes with subbing too- the boundary ones. For subbing it's like a continuum. Enemy on one end, personal control in the middle and friend on the opposite end. I've been everywhere on the line, but now I really SEE HOW to BE so as not to be on the negative ends professionally. <br />
<br />
Enemy_______ Personal Control________Friend<br />
<br />
I've finally been able to turn to prayer too. Real, on my knees by my bed, what I need prayer. It's been since 2009 since I've had <strong>daily </strong>prayer like that. Maybe that too is due to the meds? What ever it is I'm thankful. Thankful and when I think too long about it, I worry about not doing it on my own. But for now I'm releaved. It seems I've been a new person and it's a better me, not worse. <br />

Sometimes it's felt like I've been a wave in the ocean, up and down, crashing or building, but no happiness of just floating and enjoying the water and sun. Happiness is heavily tied to life satisfaction. I hope to find some satisfaction soon.

Martina McBride has this song, that I've really loved in the past and have recently rediscovered. </div>

I am timeless, I am patient<br />
I'm beside you and above<br />
I'm the words when you need comfort<br />
I'm the feeling you call love<br />
<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
You say that you can take or leave me<br />
You think right now that you don't need me<br />
Some way, somehow young heart believe me<br />
One day you will<br />
One day you will</div>
<span style="background-color: #ccccdd; font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="border: 0px none; font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
You're a vessel, your a temple<br />
You're a journey just begun<br />
You're a young one who is running<br />
You are destined to find love<br />
<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
And when you're lost, that's when you'll find me<br />
We can't see till we are blinded<br />
It's already all been decided<br />
That one day you will<br />
One day you will<br />
<br style="border: 0px none; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
You say that you can take or leave me<br />
You think right now that you don't need me<br />

One day you will<br />
One day you will<br />
One day you will<br />

I am timeless, I am patient<br />
I'm the feeling you call love</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
To me the song is spiritual. It's about the Holy Ghost and the Lord having a plan for my life that includes love. </div>
<div>

There is no real video for this song, but here is the link to one of just pictures of her, so you can at least hear the song. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSsKXvMdZKc">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSsKXvMdZKc</a></div>

My parents are 17 years apart. Mom was 21 they got married and dad was 39. They have 5 kids right away and really close together too. The cord was wrapped around Cindy's neck and there was worries. Everything turned out just fine though, but they decided to stop with 5 kids. <br />
<br />
Fast forward 9 years to April 1971. It's General Conference time and dad is in Priesthood session. The prophet is Joseph Fielding Smith.<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Joseph Fielding Smith </td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He gives a talk entitled: <u><a href="http://www.lds.org/general-conference/1971/04/our-responsibilities-as-priesthood-holders?lang=eng" target="_blank">Our Responsibilities As Priesthood Holders.</a></u></div>
<div>
<u><br /></u></div>
<div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>"I call upon the Church and all it's members to forsake the evils of the world. We must shun unchastity and every form of immorality as we would a plague. <u>We must not dam up the wellsprings of life by preventing childbirth. </u> We must not be guilty of unrighteous and evil acts of abortion."</b></blockquote>
<div>
The underlined sentence is what pricks my fathers heart goes home and as I like to say had a little "talk" with mom. One year and four months latter Rebecca Lynn enters the world. 18 months latter my sister Sarah comes. </div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In recent years I've realized that I owe my life to: </div>
<div>
1. A prophet of God. </div>
<div>
2. My father being in the right place at the right time. </div>
<div>
3. My father listening to the words of the prophet and ACTING. </div>
<div>
4. My Mom (last, but not least!) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Not only do I owe my life to these things but so does Sarah and her 5 kids. I'm sure Blake (Sarah's husband) is appreciative. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My testimony is that General Conference is important and may alter your life in significant ways. </div>

everything from a thrift store. </span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Even my
shoes.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Why would I tell you this?</span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">I’m here to tell you about <u>the deep doctrine
of DI.</u></span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">DI is more than a thrift store
and yes, that probably has been a tag line or in a commercial, but it’s
true.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">DI is self sufficient and runs
only on donations.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">There are 43 DI
stores in 7 western states: WA, OR, CA, ID, UT, NV and AZ.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">2 things are
unique about our DI here in Twin. We
employ the largest amount of </span></span><span style="font-size: 19px; line-height: 21px;">refuges</span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"> except for the ones in Utah than all the
others. Twin DI is not self supporting
which means we have to do “donation sharing.”
We get things from <a href="http://mormon.org/humanitarian-aid" target="_blank">the humanitarian center </a>in SLC. So, lesson one- bring in your stuff! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Twin DI has community partnerships with about
30 programs/ agencies in Magic Valley. One of those places is TF School
district. For example. My friend who is a single mom with 5 kids and has
1 daughter. Her teacher noticed that she
had only 2 pairs of pants. One day she came home
with 3 pairs of pants. Where did her
teacher get them? DI. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The bishops
can use DI to help families in need. For
instance, take my friend Cyndy who is a manager of low income housing. One family, not LDS, had a fire in their
dryer. ALL the kids’ clothes were burned
up. ALL of them. ALL that was left for the kids was what they were
wearing. Cyndy went to the Bishop, told
him the situation and he wrote out a voucher for 200 dollars worth of clothes
for the family. The bishop is the bishop
for everyone within the ward boundaries- even those not of our faith. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Another
bishop wanted to help a man here with a ½ way house he was starting.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">He got the man vouchers for 15 beds for this
house.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">These are not old
mattresses.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">The church has a factory in
SLC that makes them.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">All mattress
companies send their merchandise to Missouri to be tested with a
gigantic roller.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">LDS mattresses are with
the same quality and caliber for companies like Serta!</span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Seriously!</span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">
</span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">And for 2/3 of the price!!!!</span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">DI also
squashes bundles of clothes into ½ a ton barrels and sells them to other companies or it goes to the humanitarian center for the 3<sup>rd</sup> world
countries we send aid to. We give stuff
to Catholic charities and let them put their name on it, not ours. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">DI, pays for
the employee’s salary, the building, the lighting, etc. But when there is extra money it goes to help
others get jobs. We help members as
well as non-members. 48% now at DI in Twin Falls are not of our faith. The extra money goes to help those workers go
to school and get jobs. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Our own
<b>Merna </b>was employed at DI and needed to call her Bishop. She was not a member (yet!). Everyone that works there needs to get a hold
of their bishop and get his help with goals and what that person wants to
accomplish. One of the people that have
worked at DI walked across the Sahara desert, then floated on something in the
ocean till he was picked up and brought to America. He was escaping a war torn land. He worked here in Twin Falls. He told a manager that he would rather face
the desert than the ocean! (not to self) <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Here are few
stories to help you understand what this DI, this “more than a thrift store can
do.” Take </span><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Wes.</span><span style="font-size: medium;"> He’s a excellent swimmer, so much so that he
is in the junior Olympics’ and goes to Paris to compete for the USA. He has offers from colleges for full ride
scholarships, but Wes, gets into drugs.
It becomes so bad that his family tells him to not come around. He cannot see his nieces and nephews and Wes
gets in trouble with the law and finds himself in prison. Part of Prison is
drug rehab and before he can even leave, he has to have a job! It’s pretty hard to find a job when you’re in
jail! But his bishop comes to visit him
and gets him a job with DI. He can
leave. Part of the DI program is for
each person to have a mentor. The bishop
feels inspirited to have a man his age but married with kids be his
mentor. His mentor, not knowing what to
do at first, invites him over for dinner, for barbecues and becomes his friend. Wes needs new friends, he can’t go back to
his old friends or he’ll get back into drugs.
Wes now has a friend, and a job.
DI has strict rules. You have to
show up on time and be there 96% of the time.
Absolutely no cell phones on the job.
These are rules that most companies have and that for most of the
employees need to learn. Each employee
goes through reviews. Goals are set by
the employee and he/she evaluates himself on how he is doing. Goals can be get a driver’s license, get a
GED, become A CNA. They pay for training
programs nearby colleges have. Wes now
has a good job with a good company and he is successful. <u>That is why DI is more than a thrift
store. The money only goes to do
good. The money goes to help the poor
and needy. </u><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Another
story: </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Mari Smith and her husband </span></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">have
triplets, her husband is a contractor building million dollar homes and then
the economy goes bad and they can’t even pay their own rent. The husband is depressed. He finally went to the bishop, who sent him
to the stake president (both to see if they knew of anything one or anything
that could help him get work) He goes
back to his bishop and he gives his a recommendation to DI. He gets him a job at DI. Can you imagine the humility it took to go
from building million dollar homes to working at DI? DI can see this man has potential and
skills. To reestablish himself, the
bishop needs to know exactly what he wants to do. He decides he wants to become a Nursing
assistant. DI splits the cost with him
for the schooling and now he is standing next to heart surgeons holding the
heart, because he became an orderly first.
This man when he was working at DI had a friend there named Bill. Bill had become homeless and this man went
and found him and got him back on at DI and made sure Bill was OK! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

that he is more than a day laborer and helps him get a job at DI who then pays
for him to go to become a pharmacy tech.
DI pays his wages for 3 months.
The pharmacy hires him on, because his people skills are awesome. Everyone knows him and loves him. This leads him to his wife getting a job
there too, and then his daughter goes through the program and becomes a CNA. They all testify to there being a

DI thrift stores outside of those 7 states I mentioned, but the program is

My conference editions of the Ensign <u>used </u>to get pretty worn. This summer I attended Education Week at BYU-Idaho and learned this trick from an instructor. Take the Ensign to a store like Office Max or Staples and have them do 2 things: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. Spiral bind it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. Have them put a clear plastic cover on the front and a black cover on the back. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's fairly cheep to do. Should be under five dollars.</div>

Then I get to the meat of studying. I pick topic's and assign them colors. This year was just 3.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-When any talk tells us to read our <b>scriptures</b>. (last year it was ALL over the place) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-When any of the talks give advice about raising <b>families</b> or anything in the vein of families </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I box whole paragraphs that I feel as super important. Along with the color makers I use a black marker. This year it's a paper mate flair pen. Find the ones that don't smear. I used colored permanent markers that also don't smear. I haven't show it here, but I also will circle the footnote numbers that I particularly liked. The footnotes make is SO like the scriptures. <span style="background-color: #93c47d;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Being led by Jesus Christ through a prophet of God and his 12 apostles is wonderful. We get to hear from them twice a year, 2 days strait each time. I always feel the spirit and know what I need to do to make my life better. The time is coming up soon! It's the first Saturday and Sunday of April. Watch online if you want! </span></span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><br />

The other wasn't. She had a broken leg, broken ribs, p<span class="text_exposed_show">unctured

He was born in 1917, so he would be 96 this year. I've posted before about <a href="http://becksome.blogspot.com/2010/07/family-is-forforever-and-viel-is-thin.html" target="_blank">moments with my dad </a>on the other side of the veil. I've had quite a few recently.<br />
<br />
A few weeks ago I had that upset week due to what was said to me by the bishop in front of the whole ward council. I spent sacrament meeting REALLY upset. In my tears, all of a sudden I thought of dad. I missed my dad. I wish my dad was here. I KNOW he would of felt my pain, he would of understood and not wanted me to suffer in that way. I know this because of how he acted in the past to things like this that caused me such grief and heart ache. He would of cried with me. I know he was there, listening to me, hearing me, totally aware of what I was going through. I know I thought of him only, because he was there, watching or actually with me. <br />
<br />
I felt nothing from him when I got married. Nothing. I know it's because it wasn't right. And that is sad.<br />
<br />
I went to the temple Thursday and the high priest group leader was there. He was one of the people who also was in the bishopric's office when "it" happened. He asked me to go to the prayer circle. His wife is not a member. When I was there, standing next to this thin older brother I thought of dad. *tears* I miss my dad. <br />

<br />
This didn't happen recently, but while I lived in Nampa, praying on my bedside crying so hard, I saw in my minds eye, someone tapping dad on the shoulder while he was talking to a group of people, men I think. The person tapped him and then pointed down at me. He turned around and witnessed my pain. I'd like to think the person who tapped him was the Savior, but it's my understanding that he does not reside there. Either way, it does not matter. My dad was there and someone, perhaps another family member let my dad know what was going on with me. He seems to be there in times of pain.<br />
<br />
I really believe that dad is doing missionary work there. He was almost always called to be a stake missionary. He was often trying to be a missionary while on this earth- in his younger years at least. <br />
<br />
It was sad to be in Europe 6 days after we buried him. I went to WWII places. I finally KNEW what kind of questions to ask and he wasn't there. <br />
<br />
A thought just occurred to me. I think he is very aware of his family when we are in pain. When we are happy and things are going good for us spiritually and emotionally (those 2 are tied together) he's busy doing his job. I know that he's busy but aware because a blessing told me so. I think if I had a spouse that I was sealed to that was on the other side of the veil he would be the one looking in. I'm sure dad is worried about the married kids when there are hard times, but if they have a spouse who takes good care of them emotionally, is at least trying anyway, then his fatherly responsibility... is well.... It's been taken over by the husband responsibility, because you know... A man should leave his father and mother and cleave unto his wife. <br />
<br />
So the big message is: <br />

On Sunday the Bishop who has been great up until NOW, humiliated me in front of the whole Ward Council. It's been 4 days since it's happened and I continue to wake up to the feeling of intense anger and I yell- at him although I know no one is there. I yell out of <i>self-defense and self preservation</i>. I really can't tell you how wounded I am. I did not warrant what I got. <br />
<br />
I was told by the Stake Presidency member and the HC that I should be at the ward council meeting. I was in Bellevue before I got married. I tell this to the bishop and he said he's going to check. Message is -i don't believe you. I never hear anything back but my HT is in the Bishopric so I talk to him, he said they had been talking about it, so yes come in. When it gets to the SA on the list I start. I tell them my EXPERIENCES: <br />
<br />
1. There was nothing here in the TF stake. <br />
2. I went to the stake president- He acknowledged they didn't know how to do it well, he was glad I came. <br />
3. For some reason the SA program here gathers the senior citiizens- I've had 2 dates with them, one that pooped on my bathroom floor. <br />
4. I also mention that most likely they have not been in a council with a SA rep, but that it happens all over the place. <br />
5. I tell them about what we are trying to do.- Activities every month. The day previous was an activity our ward was the only one that came through. <br />
6. There are 66 SA in our wards. I need to know who is dead, moved, married, a do not contact, etc. <br />
7. Activity announcements need to be made in RS and Priesthood. <br />
8. I also mention that MANY SA are not asked to speak like the married people are. I mention this to point out the incongrucency and the fact that it is being a respector of persons. <br />
<br />
<u>Here is where the crap comes in. </u><br />
<a href="https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTZ7rRMASBs-zjDysWexnB76nFhjgadMP2QAEP6KBUsWbZOzhBo8A" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTZ7rRMASBs-zjDysWexnB76nFhjgadMP2QAEP6KBUsWbZOzhBo8A" /></a>The bishop gets out the handbook, reads the paragraph that does not mention my calling at all. I'm shocked. He also mentions him talking to the stk pres who says if he feels like we need it, I can come. A clear statement from Bishop- <b>"If I'm invited."</b> Then he mentions the meeting with Elder Holland and some other big wig, who mentions that a YSA girl hates the word young in there and that they are adults and want to be treated as such. The way the bishop said this was like it was a REVELATION. Daaa! They are adults, but the church cannot get rid of the word young. Have the girl grow up or get married. <b>One cannot get rid of that word. </b>For the last decade there have been "mid-singles" focus in areas around the country. You cannot name every one 18 to dead with the same name. That's kaos. I mention the books dad had read, that he shared with me about in the 1960's a women being so glad they changed it from ALL 18 to dead to 18 to 31 and then 31 to dead. It's taken another 50 years to make another change. <br />
<br />
Bishop yells at me for #8, insists the SA program is the same (something he knows NOTHING about) where ever you go. Then tells me that we need the spirit here. I will speak when I am asked to!!!!! He was red in the face, looking directly at me and everyone else was dead silent saying nothing- except for one stupid male. <br />
<br />
The stupid male says that were all going to be single some day.<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">So what's his point? He's not single NOW! </span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Does he know what it's like to leave a highly LDS populated college with out a ring on? </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Does he know what it's like leave a YSA ward having "graduated with out honors" and go to a family ward knowing that your changes of marriage just decreased a BUNCH! </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Does he know what's it like to know at new years eve that it's another year of unfulfilled dreams and unanswered prayers. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Does he know what it's like to go to every family reunion with out a spouse and kids? </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Does he know what it's like to go to baby showers and only have someone else experiences to share- and the same goes for every lesson at church on marriage and family? </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Does he know the fear of being alone your whole life and that when you do get to old to take care of yourself there will be no kids or grand kids to help or plan or even go to the funeral? </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Does he know what it's like to not be picked, year after year, after year and wonder WHY? Are you ugly? Are you..... (you fill in the blank) . WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? It falls into everyone's lap! Why not yours? </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Does he know what's it like to know that all months the good eggs are gone and that all the bleeding and cramps have been in vain.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>How about Valentines Day? How about when you come home so tired you don't want to cook or do anything, but you have to because there is only one of you. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Does he know how to do this all and more for 20 years and still maintain a self-esteem? </li>
</ul>
<br />
THE LIST COULD GO ON and ON and ON and ON. The answer each time would be NO!<br />
<br />
Bottom line is he mocked my pain! His experience will never compair to mine, not just because he's not a woman, but because he has a temple marriage and he has children. If his wife were to die tomorrow he still has an eternal marriage and children to take care of and that will take care of him. <br />
<br />
Then there's the bishop- the man who's been "investing in me" for over a year by having the church pay for counseling. The man who knows I was in a emotionally, sexually, physically and financially abusive marriage with the frosting being CONTROL and I'm trying to rebuild my life and who I am - AMONG STRANGERS in a FARMING COMMUNITY which is a <b>COMPLETE 180 </b>from where I left. The man who knows all this but picked up HUGE BOULDERS and THREW them at my GLASS CASTLE - <span style="font-size: x-large;">IN FRONT of 10 PEOPLE</span>, who will then go home and tell their spouses and most likely others.<span style="color: #073763;"><span style="color: magenta;"> I am the only one in that room who knows what's it's like to be single with no spouse for 17 years and then to be divorced! THE ONLY ONE! </span></span><br />

I refussed to be treated like that.<br />
<br />
Then he tries to appologize, takes me into his room and asks me how I feel about the savior? REALLY? REALLY? What does that have to do with ANYTHING THAT HAPPENED? NOTHING! (I'm not the only one who thinks so too) Can we please get real! <br />
<br />
I can't sit down., I'm pacing and he's asking me about the Savior? Is this to deflect what he did? To put the blame on me???? Or something Elder Holland told him to do? I've had no time to process anything. No time to realize that<span style="color: red;"> h<i>e negated my feelings, experiences, knowledge and facts. </i></span> Completely negated them. So- what of my value? Clearily the message is NONE!! I of course CAN'T TAKE IT. I do not go into chapel, but I stay on the couch in the foyer where a women named Wendy who has been to my home and was in the stake RS presidency finds me and then finds Terry Miller the HC. They take me into the other wards clerks office and I scream and cry and am just beside myself. They want to give me a blessing, but they can't for a while because I can't calm down. Terry says I shouldn't worry about what others think of me. That's easy when one has someone to go home to that valadates your existence. Who tells you they love you regularily and oh so much more. Maybe your fabulous at your job or with something, anything that makes you feel like your life is worth the effort, but I have none of those things or anything like unto it. Not even close. Wendy tells me he is a man and doesn't get women's needs. <br />

<br />
I go to the SA meetings and suffer through and leave early, because I can't sit there in what is suppose to be a committee, not a dictatorship. I realize that they cannot think out of there Idaho box and everything they do will be a 10 to them, but a 5 for me. So I let go of expectations and choose to not go anymore. Tell me what to do and I'll do it, but I will not sit there and ...... want to throw up.<br />
<br />
In Utah I'd be a number, lost in the crowd. In Twin Falls it's stupidvill. In WA it's the same old, same old. So where do I go? Does it even matter? <br />
<br />
When you're raised in my family where there is no plan B or G, or M, etc, you are waiting for the real thing to come and when it doesn't- you are screwed- emotionally and financially, etc. So happy life for me. I'll just keep make believing stories in my head, giving talks in my head where I am great, because that is the only place I get if from and my brain does not know the difference between reality and lies.<br />
<br />
Ya, my family knows all about the SA program! 3 ways in 2 ways out. 2 ways out: death or matramony.<br />
3 ways in- spouse die, divorce, or never married. Up until my stupid marraige we had all 3 and I joked with mom about going to dances... now it's 3 generations- mom, me and Ruth and now nephew David.Becky Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03733518903943141370noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6418159229329942429.post-16356176074515746422013-01-17T20:21:00.000-08:002013-01-17T20:33:10.360-08:00Tell the Drama to your Llama!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Guess what-- You're the Llama! </div>
<br />
<span style="color: red;">DRAMA ONE</span> About 2 months ago I could not sleep, so I got up and wrote 2 pages to the couple who introduced Jason and I, and supposedly counseled us. What a joke! The letter was good healing for me and I didn't cry or get angry about them afterwords .... until just a few days ago. I put some money in my credit union and headed home. That's when the tears and anger started again and It didn't stop. I was SO mad at them. They were clueless about Jason's spending, about the money my mom gave me from my inheritance to pay bills. Double and then some of what he took out of his retirement to pay HIS and OUR bills. I woke up the next morning and did the same thing. I'm not sure what set it off, but I had a mind to just write a letter and this time send it. Just facts this time. The first letter was harsh and hurtful and clearly expressed how deeply I was wronged. I've been fine for 2 days now, but.....<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">DRAMA TWO</span> Then there is the issue of "The Talk." I've been in my current ward for 1 year and 3 months now and have I been asked to speak in sacrament meeting? NO! If your married and/or have a cute family then of course they ask you to speak with in like 2 months. Not us singles. I've come to realize that it's being a respecter of persons, which is not a good thing. <br />
<br />
I like pubic speaking and some years back- maybe 8, I had 4 or 5 talk out lines ready to give if I was ever asked. I wasn't. I still have them but I'm sure with new life experiences they would be changed somewhat.<br />
So every day for like 3 to 4 weeks I've been giving the "let me introduce myself" portion of the talk out loud to no one or in my head. It's not pretty. It's full of bitterness, looking down at others, trying to prove that I am something or at least WAS something. That's what I figured out- it's about a self- esteem wack.<br />
<br />
I'd mention things about:<br />
<br />
How many countries in Europe I'd been to (8).<br />
How many states I've visited (2/3rds)<br />
My Israel and BOM lands cruise. <br />
Then I tell them about my HUGE family- 7 kids, 26 nieces and nephews, 11 great nieces and nephews.<br />
I'd tell them about how I came to this earth (through my father following the prophet).<br />
I speak about how Twin Falls is clueless about the SA program.<br />
How Idaho is just full of Farmers who have never left the state and know nothing of the outside world. <br />
Of course I mention my wards with millionaires in it.<br />
The CEO of Expedia being in the bishopric, the millionaire stake presidents, single men making 6 figures a year.<br />
I'd point out that men here are so proud of of making 50K at a cheese, dairy or yogurt factory and I cringe. Cringe because I sure as heck don't want to date them and don't want to live in Idaho the rest of my life and sure as heck don't want to raise kids that have only experienced this, because we couldn't afford it.<br />
I'd tell them how I was a tree hugger, how I'm NOT from Idaho.<br />
I'd mention callings- you know- give them my "church resume"- seminary teacher, temple ordinance worker, my mission. <br />
I'd tell them that the church was the same everywhere, except for the SA program here in ID. O gosh I had/have the list of beefs that everyone else is CLUELESS about.<br />
I'd mention my marriage, that it was abusive on 4 different levels. That I had to come here to heal among strangers. <br />
<br />
Can you feel the pride? The enmity? So can they. <br />
<br />
I couldn't stop doing this. It was like an addiction. I didn't know why, and then all of a sudden I realized it was an effort to build me up (or at least knock them down), to show value in my self. Clearly I didn't have any. A few weeks previous I remembered what I had learned about 10 years earlier- that <b>men don't find angry and bitter women attractive </b>and this time I learned that neither do women. While doing my scripture study I did some foot note searches and found out of the blue scriptures that we don't really use for the topic of pride. It was good for me, but "the talk" still continued.<br />
<br />

One night I couldn't sleep. I was up crying and doing basically the same thing- reviewing the past. How was I going to make it stop? When it hit me- my word for the year- TURN! Turn from the PAST to the FUTURE. So... what of my future?<br />
<span style="color: red;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: red;">DRAMA THREE </span> I've been subbing and some days have been good. The para-ed's have liked me and other's it's been.... I've been... "demanding" of kids that are lazy, not trying, stupid, etc and I have not treated them nicely. Geese Becky, didn't you learn your lesson in Gooding? I mean do your job and shut up! Don't insult the kids! Don't loose patience! And be nice- ya know- like Jesus would. I subbed in HS resource room, but I was also on NO meds. That combination = trouble. I don't have the kindness and patience and ability to make connections with those kids. <b> I see problems that need to be disciplined, not kids that need to be reached. </b><br />
<br />
I can't be a teacher. I don't have the patience. You have to be SO on your toes ALL THE TIME- with class work, behavior, preparing for next day, next week, etc. It's to much for my brain to handle. One on one PSR is good. I've thought about foster care for the money and helping too, but mostly the money.<br />
<br />
My future. What does it hold? More schooling? More low paying jobs with no benefits. Maybe school and then perhaps another failure or another low paying job. What do I do? The bishop mentioned 'career goals' in his last email to me. Here's the deal- I don't have career goals. I never have. I had the get married and be a mommy career plans. I kept waiting for that to happen and it never did. Now I'm 40.<br />
<br />
I'm working 2 low paying jobs that in a month will go up to almost 15 an hour. Subbing which is... random and only 65 a day. And in the summer? Then what? I don't have unemployment till Aug 2013. I need to find a better job. I need a roommate. So what did I do? I filled out applications for low income housing. I qualify. I probably qualify for help with heating bills too and also Medicare or caide - what ever it is. Aren't I just the college grad success story? <br />
<br />

What's fun is my sisters who are judgmental about Ruth and I. What would they be doing with no husband to buy them big homes and trips? How would their self-esteem be? Could they go to church every Sunday and feel equal? Could they support themselves with a pre-school teachers income or what ever they went to school for? NOPE, but they judge. <br />
<br />
I'm judgmental about teachers in Gospel Doctrine. I didn't participate too much in last weeks SA get together. I played games on my phone instead. Then there's the SA progam here.... I don't even want to get into that. <br />
<br />
The lady who I almost killed on the motorcycle is wanting 1 million dollars from me. Will they go to mom? Only time will tell. Mom can give them 1/4 of a million from insurance.<br />
<br />
While at times there is a longing to be a super mom, to have a great marriage, mostly I see kids at HS kissing and I want to puke. I don't like fat guys. I don't like being on top. I don't the idea of being poor. Sometimes I'm too bold, too blunt and almost crude at times- in my head mostly. I started a thread on BYU-Idaho Alumni page on FB and it caused some to not be happy. While there is so much more I want to say to others, I filter. Scott Mowrer would be proud- his and his million dollar traveling family now. Ya'd think the rich could throw the poor a bone every once in a while. I love being left behind.<br />
<br />
But I'm taking this Llama thing to a gripping session and that's not what I wanted to do. So I end here. It's too long. Most won't read it and I don't have a big readership anyhow. But it's out there. Out there for someone to maybe respond.<br />
<br />
On a positive note, I'm reading the scriptures every night from the original copy BOM look alike.

I woke up Saturday morning the 5th of January, knowing that Jason had moved on completely. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This one describes our marriage: </div>

Then I left and he kept trying for a year to get me back. This would be his song at that time:<br />
