Everyone goes through their up and downs, their high and their lows. For a couple of months I had been on a spiritual high! Everything was going really well, whenever I had trials and tribulations I would have faith that things would work out, I was very optimistic, I could always feel the spirit, I would whip out a spiritual thought in seconds, I had the greatest desire to serve a mission and everything was just going really well. But a couple of weeks ago out of nowhere I started to feel down in the dumps; things were just not the same. I started getting in a bad mood for no reason even though I tried not to show it, in a way I felt kind of lost. I couldn't whip out any spiritual thoughts to share even on the days I went to the temple and I started not really caring if I went on a mission or not. I didn't know why I was feeling this way but I remember learning about it last year in seminary. Whenever people are on a spiritual high Satan tries as hard as he can to bring them down. I knew Satan was trying to get me down and I knew I had to find a way to stop it because it had already been going on for too long. Today one of my friends, who is preparing to serve a mission, was at my house, I mentioned how I had felt down in the dumps and what had been going on and she said basically what I already knew but a few words stuck with me specifically, she said, " You need to surround yourself with the good things." This is something they always tell us in church and in seminary but I realized I hadn't been doing that. I had been so caught up with the worldly things and all the things I had to get done, that I wasn't feeding my spirit the way I should have been. When I was home a lone I decided to watch a few mormon messages. I spent about 2 hours watching uplifting videos and almost all the ones I watched were about missionaries. It reminded me how much I absolutely LOVE missionaries and it reminded me of when I had that desire to serve my Lord. I realized I have to really ponder and pray about serving a mission because it is such a great opportunity in life to change the lives of others, but I need to know if it is for me. I know whether I serve a mission or not I will have opportunities to do my service to the Lord and I hope and pray that one day I will be able to change lives like the sister missionaries did for me! <3
This video makes me cry! Its overwhelming seeing how many missionaries are going out to different places all over the world to preach the gospel, and to think that all those missionaries will change lives and bring people closer to our Heavenly Father! <3 :')
So a couple of years ago a friend of mine started blogging and I thought it was interesting. I kinda have been wanting to start one since last year but I never did because I never got around to it and I thought I would never have time to write in it. But this year has been different from the rest and there has been so many things going on I just have to let it out somewhere, therefore I decided to finally get one! I feel so new to this and I'm still really confused on how it works but whatever! :) We'll see how it goes! :)
