Reflections (Ooo... can you feel the mystery of the title!)

Well i got back from a choir trip to L.A. and i am loving life.  We didn't get first but i am glad that we tried our hardest.  You could feel that every person was into it and that even though we didn't win we gave it our all.  Also i had a lot of time on the trip to reflect on myself and life.  I analyze life too much and i don't know why but i am a constant questioner.  When i know something is true or something is right i somehow have stupid questions that pop in my head and i hate it because it makes me wonder if i am weak or what.  Maybe the Lord is testing me or helping me become stronger in areas of my life but it is hard.  
I don't want to be fake, but somehow i feel i am.  i feel i am taking for granted the most precious gift given to me and i am not living up to what i can be.  Life is hard...but i am just beginning to realize how hard.  But the thing is, that is ok!  Everyday feels like a struggle to me but each day is also an adventure.  Life is full of joy, tears, struggles, blessings, and wonder.  How perfect an imperfect world is.  It helps us grow, learn, gives us a stronger will, and the Lord has given this amazing process to us.
I am sorry for the pointlessness of this entry but i just needed to say it, to shout it!  God is great and He has given me joys and wonders i can't describe.  Enjoy life people, for it is glorious...

    Life is difficult, Jakey. But once we realize this, once we understand and accept that fact, life is no longer difficult because the fact that life is difficult no longer matters. It's all relative. Life is fair when we accept God's will is personal for us in our own lives and through the Atonement of Jesus Christ we can conquer any problem, obstacle, trial, etc. Life is unfair when we let ourselves be weighed down by the negative influences of Satan and compare our circumstances to the circumstances of others.
    You are a thinker Jake, but this isn't a bad thing. You think about things that matter. To you and to everyone on this planet. We will always have questions, we will always have doubts, but we can combat those with faith. Faith in Christ.
    I miss you, You are AWESOME. :)
