Worldy Concerns

This is going to be kind of a personal journal/thought entry. So, my friend and I went to go see "Whip It" tonight. No offense to my friend who liked it, I liked it, but then there were some aspects about it that I didn't like.
As I learn more about the world, I learn that people are not perfect. People are not chaste and pure. In fact, people can be down right dirty.
The movie has not brought this up by the way. It's kinda a cute movie, it was just some things in it that made me think about this subject again. I've been thinking about it for some time now.
I think about how the world has been making things look ok that aren't ok in God's eyes. As I think about temple covenants and covenants we make at baptism, I think of how sad God must be as He sees the world turn such sacred things into humerous, playful, exciting every day things.
I look around me and see even some people that have been close to me in the past and how they have allowed the world to enter into their hearts. There is a saying of "being in the world but not of the world." I am finding that truer and truer every day.
I am also realizing why I don't have a boy friend at this time. I am learning that the boy that I marry must love the gospel and Jesus Christ. That's pretty much it. Everything else will fall into place. I am realizing that it is very rare to find a man who will appriciate a woman's values and virtues rather than what she is. It's possible yes, but it is becoming rare.
If any of you readers (if I have any) get offended by this blog I apologize. This is just how I'm feeling and I wanted to type it on my blog.
The more and more I experience of the world the more I am so grateful for the gospel in my life. I am so glad that I have the testimony that I do. I'm glad for the strong family unit that is in my life. The world is a harsh place at times. It is also a beautiful place, but people can get lost in it. Very lost. I'm glad the gospel has helped me find who I am. I have a journey and a place to return to someday.
Now, I'm not saying I'm perfect because I'm not. I have so much that I need to work on. I have a temper, as well as overreacting to things. I also have great memory loss which causes confusion and annoyence on the receiving party. But I do know that the gospel is true.
I know that it can help people. Life can be great most of the time. If you look for the good in everything. Even the bad times. Look at the friends you do have who are there to help you. Look at the warm bed you have to sleep in. Look at the food you can eat when you are down. Look at everything wonderful around you.
