It's been awhile....
You know...Everyone has those days with they head full of thoughts and feelings that just feel so overwhelming, yeah well some of those days just have been hitting me a lot lately, coming to an ending knowing that I am going to be serving a mission soon. It's crazy to know how fast time goes by , but most for me it how much I realize my heavenly father answers prayers. Lately things have gone through my mind like no other , and I have been turning to the scriptures and prayer a lot.
I believe that miracles do come, but it takes just a simple faith know that he is there for you and that he is always listening.
It takes time and patience to put together a plan for your self that can help you through a day. I have realized since I have been home from my first semester of college that I have to keep myself busy and try to keep things planned and make time for everything that is needed to be done in one day. For me , when I was up at EA in Thatcher ,I had a schedule for everything and i would write a to-do list for everything and I would get it done . Well since I have been home, it's harder to see the most important things that need to be done.I have not forgotten them and I make sure that I stay awake to say my prayers and read my scriptures and in the mornings I make sure that the first thing I do is roll out of bed and say my prayers and read my scriptures.
When I go through those days that have me in lots of thoughts and emotions i just sit and think about all the things I am thankful for and I pray that I will be able to feel calm and that the Spirit will be with me to comfort me .I have a strong testimony and faith in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, I put the church and the Gospel before anything in my life :)
Having religion in my life is so important to me because it keeps me stable:). The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints is the true church of God.
One of my favorite songs in the hymn book is "I stand all amazed" this song brings me to tears each time I sing it or listen to the words. Because I know that my savior died on the cross for my sins and I know that he lives today and he hears and answers prayers. I know that my Heavenly Father is there for me anytime and anywhere.
I know that my testimony is what I live by and my standards that I live by will never change or lower for anyone because I know that I am a Child of God and that he understands who I am and who I want to be , He wants to help me be the best I can be !
I cannot wait to serve a mission, I can't wait to turn my missioin papers in next month , it means so much to me to serve a mission. I wanted to do it since I was very little. It will be a big step in my life, I will get to grow and learn so much for myself and beable to teach others.
I am so excited to beable to turn in my mission papers so soon! I know that preparing for this mission and doing the things that I need to do to help my testimony stay strong has helped me grow so much in this Gospel! I know this church is true and I would not be who I am today with out it. It is a big part of my life.
I will continue to update my blog , it just has been awhile, been pretty busy.
