Dear Anonymous

This post is for one person only. And that one person knows exactly who they are. Quite frankly so do I. Thanks to my Live Feedjit that tracks the blog pages of readers who visit my blog. This person was the only person visiting my page at that particular moment an anonymous comment was left at 6:40 am HI time-10:40am Utah time. Anonymous had a smooth move only for a moment to be sneaky but then to trace me straight to your blog. To my surprise. I never would have thought. I hardly know you and you obviously don't know me. Normally I wouldn't make it a point to speak up or correct. But with this incident I will.

Who does one think they are to judge another? To Point a finger at? To have enough time on your hands to post a comment of hurtfulness. I want to share a few scriptures with you. Read intently with an open mind.

Matthew 7:1-5
1 Judge not, that ye be not ^bjudged.
2 For with what ^ajudgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what ^bmeasure ye mete, it shall be ^cmeasured to you again.
3 ^aAnd why beholdest thou the ^bmote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the ^cbeam that is in thine own eye?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5 Thou ^ahypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.

What this scripture is saying in lay man terms is: If you are going to judge someone, the judgement is back on you. Its not your place. Maybe you don't think it was a judgmental comment but it definitely was. The tooth pick that is in my eye that is my imperfection must not be pointed out by you because you have a 2 by 4 beam in your own eye. Therefore You can't see to judge me. You are not one to judge. You are not one to hurt someone when you have your own imperfections too.

Another Scripture is D&C 121: 17
17 But ^athose who cry transgression do it because they are the servants of sin, and are the ^bchildren of disobedience themselves.

Harsh, I know. But true. What this scripture is saying: You live your life imperfect. You have sins too. You cry transgression(speak out to me) because you aren't happy with yourself.

I am not one that is justifying anything. As a woman I know what I stand for. I "REALIZE" what it means to be a beautiful woman. You don't know me. You don't know my background or how I was raised. You don't Know what Ive been through or what I might be going through now. You don't know my testimony unfortunately. You simply don't know me. I am a daughter of my Heavenly Father and I have many imperfections. Many things that I need to focus on and work on. I am a worthy individual in the LDS faith who holds a calling and serves my fellow neighbors/members of the church. I faithfully hold a Temple recommend. Its a bit of an exaggeration of you to say what you did about "EVERY" photo. If I have ever offended YOU through my journal/blog or anyone while reading, my apology. Never my incentive. I am not asking YOU to read my blog so if there is something posted that you don't approve of simply don't read it.

I have learned so much while living here in Hawaii. It is a different culture than any other place I have experienced. Especially living in the bubble of Utah. Don't get me wrong I love it there. And I will be back someday. But its interesting how you realize some differences after being gone. But for now- the people of Hawaii have taught me to l.i.t.e.r.a.l.l.y. accept anyone and everyone. Not to judge them by who they are, or how they live their lives, by what they wear, what they look like, how they talk, what they drive, or do for a job to make a living. The church especially out here is very accepting of everyone. You never have to worry about what someone might say about you, or how you are "FORESEEN" by others. People mind their own when it comes to differences. I can often sit next to someone in church during sacrament or other meetings who might be wearing jeans, who might be wearing a sleeveless dress, or strapless for that matter, or smells bad, who has tattoos all over their body- sometimes even their face, someone who might be a little coocoo because of drugs. But I am just happy that we can all worship together in this environment. Better at church then anywhere else. Acceptance.

I would like to think that you are working on your own imperfections just as I am focused on my own and solely my own. I WOULD NEVER tell you or anyone else something to do or change or even something to realize especially when we all have our little weakness'. I would like to think that you can teach your own child the important things of the world. Teach the child to love and accept everyone, everything for who they are, and not by the things they do or wear. You are only in control of yourself and the early years of your childs' life. Teach the things that you best can. Free agency is there for us to learn and become a young woman. To experience the things we need to as individuals on our own time. Please worry about yourself and not me. No one should have enough time to judge others, life is seriously too short- we need to do our part. Direct your energy and your focus on yourself and your family.
I understand we live in a world with very many negative a dirty worldly things. Sex, drugs, gangs, immodest clothing, Bad TV shows, movies and bad influential books, violence, etc. But Its up to us to chose as individuals as to where to draw the line on a personal basis. You cant hide from everything and you cant shelter your children from everything but we can choose right from wrong to the best of our ability and choose best rather than better. We get so caught up in this world with thinking that a lot of things we think are OK but really from some church leaders guiding us along and in their perspectives its not okay.

I am a very happy person and I live my life for me. I do my best. I am so grateful for the people who have taught me some of the most valuable things in life- at this moment mostly the people in my life that have taught me to LOVE. to accept. The ability to love one self first and to love others amongst me.

I would like you to rethink the comment that was left on my post. Do you feel the same way after reading this post? Do you feel okay with trying to "justify" something to me!? Do you feel it was necessary to say what you did? It hurt. Was that your incentive? Maybe not- but think about yourself before you think to correct someone else.
