It seems in the past four days, I have seen me changing more rapidly... than in the past 6 months (all scrunched and squished together).
You are the architect of your life - that has become my war cry.
YOU ARE THE ARCHITECT OF YOUR LIFE.
D&C 58:26-28, + Moses 7
I cant express the deep joy that I feel knowing that I am doing the Lords will, being obedient, and following the spirit. There is nothing that compares in the whole wide world. Knowing who you are and where you are is.... right, acceptable, and pleasing in His eyes.
This week I have been trying to focus more and more on the Atonement and looking for and responding to the Spirit.
The more I have searched and followed, the more I have found and learned and the more.... I have realized the simplicity and the profundity of the gospel.
I just.... gah I wish I could make it easier to understand
The immense potential that we all have to learn grow, and to really come to know our Father in Heaven is remarkable.
I have been questioning and thinking, pondering about a lot of things lately.
Do I know God personally? Would I recognize the Savior if he appeared as a normal man, in modern clothes? Do I feel God at my side, guiding my work?
Why do I follow God's will? Where does my desire come from? Where does desire in general come from? What things am I doing that would (Mosiah 3:19) leave me being an enemy to God... what qualities or weaknesses, are furthering me from the presence of the Lord?
It's all lots of humbling fun. :)
And the best quotes in the world from the ever faithful and wonderful Grana:
While the Lord will magnify us in both subtle and dramatic ways, He can only guide our footsteps when we move our feet. Ultimately, our own actions determine our blessings or lack of them.
Keep in mind the challenging fact that your aim is not to get ahead of others, but to surpass yourself; to begin today to be the person you want to be. – Hugh B. Brown
This week Was absolutely wonderful. I felt the importance of the sacrament, held a snake, went on infinity splits with members, learned that English is really hard, started a ward English conversation class, Had a killer sickness in which I couldn't talk at all, miraculously was healed the next day... and consciously have been feeling me improving as I give this my all.
there. is. nothing. that. compares.
I LOVE THE WHOLE WORLD.
