What you see is what you get

I am trying to stay positive, and I think the title says it all. I don't pretend to be something that I am not. I don't pretend to be this person who lives a perfect life and lives in a glass house. I have faults. I do things that some people cringe at, like drink diet coke and go to the gas station on Sunday to get a diet coke. I paint my house on Sunday, and sometimes I go out to eat on Sunday.Sometiimes I go to sacrament and then leave and go to the bagle shop and eat with my wonderful husband. Sometimes I even go shopping. Does that make me a bad person. I don't think so. That is who I am, that is who I have always been. For some reason people think its fun to bring attention to my faults. I don't enjoy it, in fact it makes it all the harder to go to church and to see all the people who pretend that they live in a perfect world.
I know the church is true, and I have a testimony of the church. I know I am a better person because I have the church in my life.
I know that we all have things that we do, that others might not agree with, but that doesn't make us better than them. I am who I am, those of you who know me know the real me. I am not going to pretend to be someone I'm not just to have friends.
We need to love people for who they are not try to change them into being who we think they should be.
Those who bring attention to others faults are feeling guilty them self. We should all worry about our own lives, and working on the things that need improvement. No one is perfect, or we wouldn't be here.
