Today I am so grateful for my life, the opportunity and power I have to change. I think sometimes of the blessings I have received and am overwhelmed with where I have been, where I am going, and how it all has come together. I feel God's hand in my life. I can look back and see instances where I have been pushed, carried, and nudged along the way. I have learned so much about myself, my abilities, and my strength.
This weakness of mine, this trial/challenge that I face has brought sorrow, frustration, anger (mostly aimed at myself), and immense joy. I have found that when you follow the nagging of your heart, (the nags that are deep down, begging for the change, the opportunity to shine) peace enters your soul. Your mind becomes clear, your determination to succeed expands, and you begin to soar! It is exciting. Because you are realizing your destiny, you are finding YOU! Not the you, you want to be, but rather the you God sees you as. And that person is far better, more amazing, than what you could imagine for yourself, and yet at the same time feels surprisingly familiar.
In moments like this you find yourself saying, "I knew you were there! I knew I could do it! I remember you!"
In reading the Bible this year as my scripture study, I have learned a lot. My testimony has grown, and I am ever grateful to belong to the church that I do. I was grateful to listen to messages this weekend from the Prophet and other church leaders. It is amazing that when speaking to the world, they somehow know exactly what you, the individual, needs. It is a great reminder to me that Heavenly Father is aware of me.
And if He is aware of me, I can guarantee that He knows you!
