BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHH!
Its been a long week. I started a new job framing houses and this week we were building a roof. If you know Alberta weather you know that it is windy nine times out of nine, and having to hold huge 10 foot tall by 20-30 feet wide trusses(like rafters) while balancing on a 2x4 that is sitting 12 feet off the ground, is no easy task! In fact it wears you right out! so for the past week I've been beat up by the wind and have been waking up way to early. I'm tired. I'm physically drained of all my energy. And to top it all off, I hammered my finger and it hurts like the dickens! I can hardly keep my eyes open and I can't focus my mind at all! My brother who lives out of town came to visit which is great! the only down side is I never see him until late when I get off work and by then I just go to bed and have to listen to his three kids cry as he tries to get them to bed, and when they cry, THEY CRY!!!!! I'm talking high pitch screeches and hour long tantrums! And I just realized I haven't ate a real meal in the past three days. So things aren't really going my way. Why write about it then right? Why waste my time plus your time telling you about what a sucky week I've been having, everyone has a bad week once in a while! So who cares? Well you're right! except there is one important thing I forgot to mention about my week.
Amongst all of this turmoil and havoc I was able to accomplish a very important task this week. I submitted my application papers for my mission! And you know what? this week has been a great week for me! I haven't been angry or upset, I haven't felt sad at all. This week has been a great week! "But Reid, what about all that crap you said before?" I'm gunna come right out and say it was worth it! Do you really think I'd let something as silly as the need for more sleep or a bruised finger and a swollen thumb get me down? Well then you don't know me very well because i and no quitter during the hard times. I keep my chin up and I keep on smiling! I always look for the good in all things that come my way. Nothing is ever too big for us to accomplish. No task to demanding, no problem to hard. I believe and know with out a doubt, that our Lord who is our Father in Heaven loves each and every one of us. And what loving father would ever ask something impossible of his children? So yeah, we whine and complain about life thats okay. As long as we never let the world get the best of us. Never let those winds blow you off the roof top. Just hold on tight and plant your feet on a sure foundation and I can guarantee you, no wind could even bring you down.
