(Day 1) So... As you see my picture set up for this blog is a picture of the temple. I truly think they are the most beautiful things on earth. That, my friends is mostly what the journey of this month is all about. I chose this week to focus on forgiveness because although I feel I am ready to go there agency wise... I need to forgive a lot of things. I need to completely forgive the people that hurt me, and I mostly need to forgive myself and learn to let go. The biggest fear I have of changing... is the chance that I might change back. What if I make the same mistake. What if I do it when I'm older and affect even more people... I'm actually kinda lost right now... So this week is just about becoming more sure of well... Everything.
(Day 3) So this really wish man Gordon B. Hinckley pointed out that yes, there is a lot of pain, anger, and offense in the world. How sad it is... We must all come to a point in life and realize that we cannot let other's agency affect our own... I realize that there are things that people could do that would be extremely hard to get over... but we must prayerfully find the time and counsel with the Lord trying forgive someone. Sometimes it's big things... and other times it's the little things that randomly offend us! Being a girl this could happen more often than we would like. I haven't quite worked out how to make this easier yet... i guess just staying close to the gospel... but I'll let ya know when I've discovered more. I'm actually really excited because in institute our teacher gave us a challenge to make some resolutions to help us be happy. I'll update you guys on that later... It should be interesting! I love institute... today we learned about setting goals and managing time... it was very insightful!! hopefully it will make me better!! welp! unitl next time!! ps... I'm so greatful for the Lord!! He is truly amazing to sacrifice so much for us!!
(Day 7) So this week truly was amazing!!! Also this month has been a major improvement!!! Day 5 of this week I went to the bishop and got my temple recommend!! So I've been going every day since of course! haha It's such a relief to be free of my past mistakes and able to move on and well... probably make more! but not as hurtful as before. Anyway!! Now I will never dwell on the past again! I gained a big respect for forgiveness and the atonement of our Savior! I know that it's OK to forgive myself! I know that I can only grow now! Forgiveness is so so important! One of our beloved prophets Gordon B. Hinckley stressed that immensely! We cannot always get so easily offended... which I admit I still struggle with everyday! But I promise as you have faith, God will work with you to overcome offense and be forgiving. I'm so thankful for this gospel! I'll recap on my month in the next post!
