I was going to post on Sunday, as I should have, because it was an amazing day. I had specifically prayed to feel the spirt, and boy did I ever! Heavenly Father sure knows what is best for us. Fast Sunday is by far one of my favorite Sundays because it is a chance for us as individuals to stand up and share what we know to be true. A member of our ward got up and bore his testimony about the tender mercies of the Lord, and how he had been over looking the small things in his life. I am so grateful to my father in heaven for always knowing what is best for me. I truly know the reasons I didn't get into the nursing program this past January are because of my current family situation. He knew that I would be too overwhelmed with being with my grandpa that I couldn't handle the demand of the nursing program. How thankful I am now that he had that wonderful insight. So many other things have come about because of his knowingness of the great plan. I know he has all of the pieces and while it is hard for me to see that eventually things will work out I have to trust in that fact.
In Relief Society we had one of the greatest lessons in a long time. Our relief society president stood up introduced how lucky we are to have the hymns and that they are actually modern scriptures. The first presidency wrote an introduction to the hymns. I suggest any of you to go and read what it says. After that we had the wonderful opportunity to sing our favorite hymns and share why they meant so much to us. I had the chance to share mine which is "I Stand All Amazed". The title says everything. I am amazed at the love Jesus has for me, whoa.. that's basically one of the lines of the song.. He NEVER gives away his love. He is always there for me no matter how many times I screw up, which is often. The Atonement is never ceasing. There was a picture of the Savior on the wall and the entire time we sang I sang to him, as if he was in the room there with us. I have NEVER felt the spirt so strong in all of my life. I knew, that he knew, my love for him was unceasing. That no matter how many times I screw up I will always strive my best to live in his life and become a better disciple of Christ.
I have been struggling at work the past few months. Just being overwhelmed with such a demand of patients and little odds and ends. I am not the happiest person in the mornings, which is funny because I find myself to be a morning person, just not a morning/people person I guess. I have tried to make it a point to wake up happy. That is my goal for the week! Wake up happy! So far.. its going okay. I'm not 100% perky, but I am making it a point to say hello to the people I work with when I get to work and trying to be better! I am also heading up north for a few days. Hopefully this helps me to feel a little relieved and having a break will allow me to have a better attitude at work.
I hope we all ponder the things we can change this week, or work towards fixing. Heavenly Father, and Jesus Christ are here for us always. Turn to them and your life will be sweetly rewarded.
