alriiiight.
June 09, 2012so i suck, at not blogging. i have more time than i had supposed. and sometimes i feel things, and need some source of output.
life is a bit crazy right now. so many choices to make at once. needing all the help i can get from my loving and guiding Heavenly Father. stayed up pretty late last night reading some wonderful conference talks.
talks i suggest for anyone to read:
The Currant Bush - Hugh B. Brown: this talk really has helped change my perspective on a lot of things. i hold it close to my heart, and it's a great go to whenever i'm feeling down about anything, or i'm questioning what path i should take, or where to go.
"One Thing Needful": Becoming Women of Greater Faith in Christ - Patricia Holland:
this talk is simply WONDERFUL. it's a little bit lengthy, but hits home. i have a tendency to worry, and something i've learned a lot since i've been home for the summer is that i need to give faith a bigger chance than i have in the past. don't get me wrong, i have faith, and it is strong and burns deep inside my heart, but at times i am weak. and i get scared. but hey, those scared feelings at times lead me to reading incredible talks like this one, and i end up stronger than i was before.
A Disciple's Journey - Bruce C. Hafen: my institute teacher mentioned this talk [at usu], and man, this talk was spiritual confirmation for me and one of many answers i received to my prayers at the time. read it, and relate it to your life. find out where you are on your own "disciple's journey" and ponder what steps may be next in your life to help further your progression.
not a conference talk, but a blog post [which y'all should follow. it's awesome]
Become Your Best Self: EXTREMELY awesome.
can i just say how much i love this gospel? sorry for the sappy post. but it's true. i find so much joy in knowing that i have a Heavenly Father that loves me, and not just me but EVERYONE! i'm overjoyed that i have so many resources around me that just emulate how great God truly is. for example:
this beautiful earth
the amazing people that have been placed in my life
this may sound silly, but the fact that i have been able to overcome certain obstacles is proof to me that God is real. i look back sometimes & think "how in the world did i get past that?" then i remember that the only way i was able to overcome ANYTHING was because my Heavenly Father was there, making up for what i could not. blessing me with courage. blessing me with an ability to forgive. blessing me with an open heart. blessing me with hope. blessing me with an ability to change, and become better.
i like me. and i don't mean that in a full of myself way. but i am grateful for the abilities i've been blessed with. can't wait to see what other blessings the Lord has in store for me.
MUCH LOVE.
