you know those days that are just for you?
that was today for me.
--an incredible testimony meeting that hit the spot.
--a relief society lesson on faith that was just for me, i'm convinced. { search diligently&pray always. then, be believing that all things will work together for your good. trust and faith. it's easier to trust someone that you know. trust that he knows what is best. he knows us intimately. }
--finally reading my letter from sara michelle. just right, as usual. { “if God were a novelist, He would use a pen. be a submissive, willing and meek pen, and God will write your story beautifully.” he's writing my story. right this instant. }
--talking to my momma and getting the exact confirmation, comfort, and support i needed.
--elder l.tom perry was speaking for me. i'm convinced no one else in that audience was as moved or touched by his words today.
{ "in seasons of distress and grief, my soul has often found relief
...i'll cast on him my every care, and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer."
with the weakening of christian faith in society, our own faith must be strengthened.
show the world that all problems can be solved in the gospel.
arise to a new sense of commitment.
we play a role in helping people return to their heritage of christian faith.
"the mighty sword of truth..fear not though the enemy deride.
courage, for the lord is on our side. the Lord, our helper, will ever be near." }
--convincing myself that i like living in provo and am ok that i'm not in salt lake with the party. i'm still working on this. despite loving my classes, i'm not enraptured with provo as of late. slash maybe just this weekend, at least.
not so ideal? the homework/test studying and things on my list. for tomorrow. ooops.
above all.
to the formerly indecisive and non-decision making emily:
BAM! BAM! BAM!
take that.
i'm on a roll.
"he accepts what i can bring, and sanctifies my offering."
and i'm also not a very good secret keeper.
especially when i'm excited about things.
uh-oh.
shhhhh.
i'm obsessed with sundays.
i love them too much.
and that's what i love about sundays.
talk about a spiritual high. all the inspiration lately is almost exhausting.
almost.
i feel like moses in this moment. exhausted by so much glory.
is there any better kind of exhausted? probably not.
scratch that.
there's not.
god is so good.
i love him. a lot.

im sorry! i didnt mean to tempt you or rub it in that i see laur all the time.
ReplyDeletei didnt mean to do that at all!
i feel bad.
i honestly believe every one is where they should be for a reason, and dont doubt that you are exactly where you should be.
sometimes i know exactly where i need to be, but dont really know why, and im still kind of trying to figure out the answer to that.
i admire you for so many things em. i think you are awesome.
love you!
