Without this gospel in my life, the things I have gone through would have overwhelmed me. But I know that because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ that I was brought higher through those trials of life, and many of them have become tender mercies. Who would of ever thought that losing a sister to Skin Cancer and a sister in law to a freak accident could turn out to be such great and marvelous blessings in disguise.
This year is going to be a major year of change for me. I have decided will be a year of change physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally. At almost 27, I am going through something in which I am gaining a lot of patience and learning what it means to place someone elses' life before mine own. I am learning to trust in my Savior and allowing Him to guide me and lead me by His hand. And that takes a lot of humility. To forget what you want and only seek what his will is in my life.
I have also decided to go back to school in September because I feel that it is the right thing for me to do right now. I am also going to change my eating habits. I have found that eating fresh and less processed foods that I feel the best. And do you know what that means? I will be trying my hand at going vegan/ vegetarian. I am not doing it to make a stand against animal treatment. I am doing this because when I eat fresh food that I have made I feel better. My mind can think clearer, and I just over all feel better.
Spiritually, I am going to spend more time in the Holy Scriptures. More time in solemn and fervent prayer. Attend the temple more often, and spend less time distracted by this ever technology filled world.
I urge each of us to remember the Lord's goodness to us each day. And if you are willing to open your eyes you will see more blessings than you will ever be able to handle in your life. He is there in our lives helping us along the way. Especially when we are going through trial. Taking one step or one day at a time to change is the key. It is not necessary to be perfect today or even next month. As long as you are progressing that is the most important steps. Try and be better tomorrow than you were today, and if you fail try again tomorrow.
