The past month or so has just been so amazing. I have felt soo much peace with everything. It's been amazing to feel that I'm in such a good place in my life. I'm surrounded by so many great people, with my family and friends. I'm just so grateful for the gospel in my life. It has always been and continues to be what keeps me strong on a day to day basis. It really is amazing how the gospel makes my life so much easier. When I wake up each day, because of the gospel, I know that I have a purpose for why I'm here. It also gives me direction. The gospel is so goal oriented, which inspires me to want to progress and always be moving towards being perfect like Christ. I know we all aren't perfect and that we makes mistakes, but with the gospel it allows us to want to become better people and hopefully end up in the presence of our Heavenly Father. I heard the perfect quote today by Elder Christofferson... "Exercising agency is a setting that sometimes includes opposition and hardship is what makes life more than a simple multiple-choice test. God is interested in what you are becoming as a result of your choices. He is not satisfied if your exercise of moral agency is simply a robotic effort at keeping some rules. Your Savior wants you to become something, not just do something." Of course I know there is more to being obedient and making sure we dedicate ourselves to the gospel, rather than just going through the motions daily, but I guess I haven't thought about it this way in a long time. He wants us to become something and he really does care about our progression as we strive to be obedient and keep the commandments. This is just a testimony to me of how amazing of a Heavenly Father we have and how not only does he take care of us and know us collectively as his children, but also invidually as his sons and daughters. Wow, the gospel's amazing!
Happy Sabbath!
