How Can I Be?

These are the lyrics to one of my favorite songs EVER! It is played on the ukelele. Look it up on youtube sometime! It's so good! :)

How Can I Be?

How can I be like my brother Nephi?
and My father Lehi of old?
How can I be like Captain Moroni
In the wars that were told?

How can I see forever
Like the promise to the three Nephites?
I wanna be Samuel the Lamanite
I wanna be Benjamin the Wise
I wanna be like Abinidi
Oh tell me how can I be like them?

How can I be like Alma the Younger,
Strong servant of the Lord?
How can I be like Mighty Ammon,
Whose heart was his sword?

How can I be a stripling warrior,
And learn to fight by faith?
I wanna be Samuel the Lamanite
I wanna be Benjamin the Wise
I wanna be like Abinidi
Oh tell me how can I be like them?

How can I be like my brother Joseph,
When he prayed in the grove of trees?
How can I have the strength that he had
And the love he had for God?

How can I be courageous
And strive to choose the right?
I wanna be Samuel the Lamanite
I wanna be Benjamin the Wise
I wanna be like Abinidi
I wanna be like Jesus Christ
Oh tell me how can I be like Him?
Oh tell me how can I be like Him?

Work and the Temple

It's been a long night. Last night I didn't lie down to go to sleep til nearly 1 a.m., knowing i'd have to be up in just over 2 hours to go to work. I was covering part of a girl's shift that I work with [at Homestead Assisted Living] , and I agreed to go in from 4-7 a.m. [for the past two nights]. Tuesday night/morning was pretty busy and I was working nearly the whole shift. Last night/this morning, however, was actually pretty nice and relaxing. Fallon, the girl I was working for, told me that everything was done when I got there, so I could pretty much relax until it was time for me to get Horace up (WAY funny man!), and to get Lorna up. It was nice....except for I obviously couldn't go to sleep. I got called a few times by some residents, but not enough to be a bother.
After I got off work I came home and changed to go to the temple. I invited my roommate, Kaya, to come with me, so I was her wake-up call when I got home. It felt so nice to be back in the temple, and it was completely relaxing. Now that I'm home and showered though, I am going to go to sleep! I really need rest, because last night I think I only maybe got one hour of sleep. Bah!
Until next time!!!.........

it's me, fool!

I just need to STOP worrying about guys. I know that when the time is right that Heavenly Father will make things happen for me. Until then, I am just going to be content with being ME and being SINGLE!! :) I need to live it up and just have fun! I think I can get used to this idea. :)
I love my Heavenly Father sooo much, and I know He knows what's best for me. I'm just going to trust in Him that everything will work out for me. :)
