Something you have to forgive yourself for.
Like I said in day one, there are lots of things I don't like about myself.
So my list of things to forgive is rather long.
Something I am working on forgiving myself for and being better about is how insensitive I can be.
I rarely think before I say/do something.
That has caused me lots of problems.
I want to publicly apologize to my friend Sarah.
Sarah and I have known each other since elementary school.
She is one of the best Mormon fashion bloggers on the world wide web.
She is thrifty and crafty and someone I would like to be more like.
One day I left an anonymous comment on her blog.
I wanted it to spark a conversation about a subject I had a question on.
It wasn't until later that I saw how it could hurt and offend.
Sarah took it in stride.
And made an amazing post out of it.
She forgave me when I finally had the guts to apologize.
I am still working on forgiving myself.
On my mission my favorite thing to teach was the ATONEMENT.
Some missionaries are what I call number munchers.
Only caring about the number of baptisms instead of the souls they were there to save.
I loved teaching the atonement because everyone needs it.
I know I need it daily.
I know that Jesus is my (and your) Savior.
We can be forgiven for everything if we will but repent and move on.
How does one repent?
a - admit you have done something wrong.
b - be sorry for it.
c - confess of then change the behavior.
d - don't do it again.
e - endure to the end. (Repeat as necessary)
To Sarah and the others like her whom I have hurt or offended whether accidentally or on purpose.
I am sorry.

I still think you're amazing for owning up to it. I don't think about it, so you shouldn't either. :)
