I know this is probably weird that I'm commenting on your blog, but today I had a "random" thought wondering how you were doing, so I looked you up. I just want to tell you how much I have always admired you Cami. You are such a beautiful person- inside and out. Whenever I was ever around you I always wanted to be a better person, to be more Christlike. I think that is an amazing quality you possess- it is a Christlike love (aka Charity) that as Elder Ballard put it, "expects that best of others". Not only do you expect the best, but you bring out the best too. Your sunshine is contagious- just thinking about you makes me happy.
"When through the deep waters I call thee to go, The rivers of sorrow shall not thee o'erflow, For I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless, And Sanctify to thee thy deepest distress. When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie, My grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply. The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design Thy dross to consume and thy gold to refine."
I know how you feel. I get depressed sometimes too. I think I am way too hard on myself. One thing about blogs is they aren't reality. Do you know what I mean...People usually share their very best in their life. Sometimes I look at that and think, wow, everything "looks" so perfect for them. But looks can be deceving. I admire your candor to be yourself and share your "dark days" too. Because the reality is, we all have them. You are such a wonderful and beautiful person. Thanks for being my friend. I really mean that!
