Morning of Light

Occasionally I will feel prompted to watch Mormon Messages videos on Youtube. Usually without even realizing it hours go by. The same has happened today.

Getting lost in pondering thoughts is something I also love spending my time doing. Not only does it help me think of solutions to questions or problems I have, but it also allows me time to reflect on the blessings and tender mercies that have come about in my life.

Count your many blessings! When you take a step back to think about all the blessings you can't help but feel gratitude, even if you only reflect for a small moment. You recognize that things do happen for a reason.

Something I have learned recently is that faith is an action word. When you trust in the Lord, you put your faith in Him. It certainly takes more than just saying it. You have to actively keep that faith in Him. Let me tell you, it is certainly not easy, but it is attainable.

Satan and I are in a constant battle. Sometimes he wins (which I do admit, I am an imperfect person), and sometimes I smack him down so hard! ;) He is always trying to tell me that I'm not good enough. It really bugs the crap out of me. Somedays I take it more to heart than I ever should. He wants me to think that the light in my life is something I shouldn't have. When I have the light, he is trying to take it away from me. And it can be very draining sometimes to try and and keep it. But it really is worth it to keep the light of Christ in my life.

I love this wonderful gospel and all it does for my life.

I remember when I learned the true meaning of the atonement. Believe it or not, it was actually around this time last year that I knew for myself.
When I knew for myself, I knew that atonement wasn't just to cleanse sin. I knew that it would take away heartache, doubt, worry, and other negative things. I knew that because of the atonement, I have the ability to be happy and move forward. :)

I love when I have spiritual moments. They make me happy. :)
