So I havent blogged for awhile ... one thing Ive found with my blog is that I like to keep it on a Spiritual level. Its all good blogging about what your going to have for dinner but my purpose for my blog is to inspire people and show people my testimony of The Church of Jesus Christ.
Well ... Today I was able to attend church, I was surviving on around 3 hours sleep! I must say im impressed by the fact that I was actually able to keep a focus on everything that was going on around me. The one thing, well theres a few things that stood out to me today. As we all came together for our final meeting of the day and the bread and water was blessed and passed around we had the pleasure of listening to a talk by a young women who has recently just left the young womens programme. Her talk spoke about her time in young women and her trials with not only the programme but also herself. I found this talk so touching and it actually brought a tear to my eye which for those who know me is rare haha ... It focused on the topic of Self Worth. Sometimes thats such a tricky topic for a person to talk about, I know this oh so well. When listening to this talk the spirit touched me so much and made me realise a few things. I dont really know this young women but I was so proud of her and for the words she spoke, it truly came from her heart .. We as YSA will be very blessed to have someone like that within our programme.
All the way through Sacrement the main theme that stood out to me was Eternity and preparing to obtain this and all its blessings. Eternity is such a long long time and I am finding that this preperation isnt going to just happen over night, its always going to be an on going thing. Theres so many people around me getting engaged and preparing to marry within the temple of the Lord and its made me realise that this is something that I myself would really like. The Lord knows my hearts desires and its upto me to prepare and to do all the things I need to do. Throughout the whole of my time within the Young Women programme one comment that always stuck in my head was "You Need to prepare to be Mrs Right" ... Im learning as im growing up that this statement is so true, as a youth you kinda brush those certain comments aside and think yeah its all good ill defo get married etc ... Im learning that for something like this to happen to me I need to put preperation into it, I need to be at a stable Spritual Level and I need to be doing the things the Lord asks of me. Once this has happened and the Lord feels its the right time then I hope im blessed with marriage and also the oppertunity to have an Eternal family. What a blessing that is for everybody! Its a long road but I know for myself that if im doing everything I should be the Lord will bless me. Lifes hard when its full of so many unknowns .. but thats when Faith comes into it.
Im grateful to know that the Saviour has given us the oppertunity to have Eternal life and to return home with him with our own Eternal families.
Ima stop all the soppyness but I really felt like I needed to share this as its so important to me and its my goal to obtain Eternal Life and to be able to share it with my Eternal companion.
Lifes full of ups and downs but we need to stay true to the Lord and continue to do all we know we should be doing. The Saviour loves us and wants us to be happy and he wants us to all return home to him again.
Enjoy the rest of your Sabbath day ... <3
