"strive as you may, you cannot miss it in your way." -Gethsemane by: Katie Cluff







today as i sat in the church, waiting for the meeting to begin; i began to look back upon the memories of my baptism day. the bad ones, the good ones, and the funny ones. for about two years now, my life has been full of attending farewells for friends; this weekend i really debated whether to goto a good friend of mines farewell, because it is my second week teaching in young women's, and i really didn't want to miss that opportunity. i decided that he had always been kind, and caring towards me, that he would do it for me, so i chose to attend. and you know the very moment you hear one word, and you simply know that heavenly father put you in that place for a reason? that everything being said was a strict message for you alone? well thats how today was. every single word that came out of Mckays mouth was so special to my heart, and Brother Baum who spoke after him. emotions filled my entire body, as every prayer i had said for the past year was being answered. every single sorrow, and every single pain i had ever felt disappeared, as my heart filled my eyes with tears.

not only this wonderful spiritual sabbath day; but when i rushed from the church, to my church, i decided right then and there that as soon as i got to my church, i would go talk to my loving bishop. i raced inside, without hesitation, sat down and talked with him, for only a couple seconds, before he told me that he had some of the same answers and confirmations of what i had told him.

so look beyond every (want) within yourself, kneel, and never doubt the answers and confirmations that come through our Heavenly Father. He has a special plan for each of us, he knows what is and will be the best path for us. and never doubt feelings, thoughts or promptings that you may have. always take those into consideration, because it may just be the Holy Ghost.

and not only that, but look at that gorgeous note my sister wrote me the other day.

my records

For my record: February 1, 2015 i know that this church is true, I know that Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God, who restored the gospel of Jesus Christ. I know that the Book of Mormon is true, and with no doubt in my mind, i know that the words which are spoken inside are the words of God, that through our Prophets, both modern and ancient, we can continue on Gods path. I know that God lives, i know that Jesus Christ lives; that he died for me, for you and for all generations of beings who have and are coming to this earth, he sacrificed for my sins, my pains and my sorrows. he knows me, personally and by name. I know that if i use the atonement, he will take my burdens away, and i will be weightless. I have faith in the gospel, that if i do and follow Gods wills, and commandments, i will return to him one day. I was once scared of dying; but now, it's become an exciting thought. For when i die, i will be with my creator once more, that i will have a remembrance of just how ...

Ultimate Charity

I gave a talk yesterday during sacrament meeting- I thought i'd share it here. CHARITY I think that for many of us, charity is something that we have to work for. I don’t think that everybody has the natural ability to be charitable. I believe most of us have to choose to put our selfishness aside, to become more charitable. Charity is a choice. Growing up in Saint George Utah, I was one of the rare, nonmembers in my grade. At a young age, I didn’t understand why none of my friends were able to play on Sunday, I didn’t understand how going to church on Sunday was important than riding bikes outside, I didn’t understand that Mondays were for family, I didn’t understand  when one girl told me while at recess one day, that Jesus gave her belly button. I didn’t grow up in an environment that understanding all of that, believing it and finding hope in that was normal. As I grew older, throughout middle school and high school, I had friends that were no longer allowed to be in...

the other night i had the blessing of taking my deep thoughts with me to the temple, i had the chance to sit on the temple grounds and think of everything that was bothering me.  in those moments, i felt grateful for the plan of salvation, for the missionaries that taught me, for the friendships that i now have with the Elders who taught me, for the missionaries who are out serving faithfully right now, so this day, i share with you a couple of words; that this gospel has brought light into my life,  i see and know my every blessing, and i am grateful for it all that i believe and i have faith in the words of our savior and prophets. http://youtu.be/_nuUdV6E_Fw
