Over the last months.....

       Over the last few months I have been going on a journey. It basically has been a journey of a read awakening. Having had the opportunity to read through the biographies and conference talks of many of the apostles through this course I have come to a new sense or understanding of the reality of the gospel on the plan of salvation. While compiling our quotes we were supposed to identify one topic and apply that gospel principle or at you in our lives. I did not select one topic or do that assignment like it should have been done. But over the last few months I have learned and been reminded of the truthfulness of the Gospel and the reality of our time here on earth. Time is short. We have a lot to do a lot to become. God has given us as gospel to help us on our path through this earth life. As I have been reminded of these simple truths, I have strived more diligently to keep the commandments with more exactness, to let obedience become a part of me and not a separate verb. I am grateful for the blessings that have come into my life and doing so. God is truly a wonderful God and knows what we need and when we need in our lives. The last three months I have needed to be more obedient. He has help me to see this and has helped me to slowly apply it more in my life. I'm grateful for a kind and patient heavenly father. I know that obedience is one of the first and most important principles we need to grasp in order to become like our heavenly father. Obedience brings power and the blessings of heaven into our lives. I have kind of started to see obedience as the keys that unlock our potential. As we strive to be obedient and make the small simple changes in our lives God blesses us and truly the windows of heaven are open and poured out upon us. I feel like a few snowballs come down with the blessings from heaven but they're there for a reason and if we learn from them we will become better.
