I Forgot

Well I forgot to post my SGBD yesterday and that is not a good sign considering that we have only been doing this a couple of days. Yesterday was the first day of class which was awesome but I had kind of a fun experience before which actually led up to my SGBD. Well yesterday morning I was told that TJYC III started at 12:00 and since I didn't have any classes previous to it I was able to stay at home in the morning and have my brother drop me off at class in the afternoon. At 11:00 my brother had an institute class and so I joined him in that.(which was way good) At the end of class I realized that it was a little over 12:00 and I immediately started thinking, "Oh no what are Kathy and Diana going to say? They definitely won't be happy." So we got in the car and I didn't really bring it up to Scott because I figured he already knew. As we were heading over I felt like we were moving a little slow and I looked at the speedometer and we were going about the speed limit and I was thinking that this is a time to speed but I still decided not to bring it up. Well when we got there it was about12:15 and as I got out of the car I saw Kathy trying to get something out of her car. I went up to her and told her that I was sorry for being so late and she told me that class started at 12:30. So being relieved of that problem I asked Kathy if I could help her get whatever it was she was trying to get out of her car but I was a little to late and she was just finishing.

Why did I just give you the whole story of my Wednesday morning? It was because without all of these little events happening I wouldn't have been able to have my SGBD. After talking to Kathy I walked into the building that we do school and as I stepped through the door, one of the teachers was walking out of a room with her hands full. I offered to take the trash bag she was holding and was able to lighten her load a little bit. It felt really good to help her out and I'm thankful for everything that got in my way that morning because I might have missed that opportunity.

Also this morning at seminary I had a SGBD moment. I am in my last year of seminary so I am really trying to pay more attention and participate more since the last three years I have been somewhat of a squatter. Our teacher is blind but that doesn't stop her from being a great teacher and instead of raising our hands we need to call out to answer questions. This morning she asked if someone would like to give the prayer and for a couple seconds it was dead silent. I have taught people before and I have had that same response and it is not a good feeling when nobody answers you, especially when you can't see them. I decided that I wasn't going to let and awkward silence like that happen to her this year so I offered that prayer and then she asked if someone would turn on the T.V. and put the movie in and again nobody said anything so I told her i would. Many of those same instances occurred this morning and I am sure there will continue to be many more this year but hopefully by the end of the year I will be able to inspire others to do the same.
