It has really put things into perspective for me this week. I have been working at a court reporting agency for the last two weeks.TANGENT: It baffles me how people can do things they don't enjoy, or how much people talk. Gossip! UGH! One boss has told me I am doing really good and I think it is bothering the full time coworkers(they are all acting weird around me). But that's for another time.
ANYWAYS ...back to my point. I think the people I have chosen to surround me in my life, are so much happier because i can see the celestial glows. I can see the knowledge and the feelings of truth when the spirit of the gospel lays hold on them, and touches their hearts. I have watched many of my friends truly come to know and love Christ in the last year.They want to serve him and they love him with their whole being. Their influences have helped bring me closer to the the Lord. I have chosen that I too want to serve in a very short time.
I was reading my scriptures last night and a phrase came upon me. "Let go and Let God" this has added much to my thoughts today. To Let Go and Let God. Now my tangent may become relevant. To let go of the world, the cares of the gossip and celebrities. Let Heavenly Father take control. Stop caring about who is sleeping with who, and who is backstabbing who. It's not important and it's really none of our business. I Have decided to not let myself get caught up in the worldly issues unless they pertain directly to my safety. I think that's the smartest thing to do in our lives is to stop being distracted by things that have nothing to do with us.I need to focus on my studies (school and spiritual) I can find better things to do then gossip and snicker. I can fill my life with wholesome things and I don't have to get caught up with all the other junk!
Heavenly Father knows exactly what each of us need to be fulfilled. I do believe that he knows the direct desire of each of our hearts. My best friend needed her call now to be fulfilled and I saw that along with the Lord. HE knew that she was ready and as she waited on His timing she came to understand him. Now she is ready and I am excited for her! Also due to these daily witnesses, everyday i become a little more ready too. I know the church is true I have known that my whole life.
But now I know the Lord truly died for my sins and through the Atonement I was saved by Christ. I know that Joseph Smith was a true Prophet of God. I know with my whole heart that Families can be together forever if they live by the laws of the Gospel and live worthily to be sealed for time and all eternity. I know i will see my beloved brother again if i live a worthy life. I know the Lord cares for me in so many ways and he watches out for me every day! I know the Book of Mormon is another testament of Christ as he lived. I know within that within the Book of Mormon along with many other testimonies given, Moroni saw our days and that he knew what would become of us in the Latter Days. I finally know that the Lord lived and Died for me that I may return to live with him some day.
I say these things in the wonderful name of our lord and savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
