Trying to keep this post a little shorter tonight. I feel like I have a tendency to extrapolate quite a bit on my beliefs. Honestly, a lot of what I say and do is me trying to figure things out. But that is ok, I think that is what a lot of us do. Lifehouse even has a song about it; "Trying"
I want to just say this:
I love so much about my life, and I am so happy with so many things. I do deal with problems, I make a LOT of mistakes. I am so imperfect, it is not even funny... but I am trying. I want to do what is right. I want to be a more Christlike person, I want to care about other people before myself. I am working towards this, and in some ways, am improving. I believe that is what life is truly about; how we progress, and how we enjoy the journey. One thing I need to be better about is being less long winded. I have so much to say, and often take other people's time to say it. I guess that is one really cool thing about prayer; I can pray as long as I want, and never have to worry about bothering or boring God.
With that, I want to bear my testimony that God is real. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the true church. Thomas S. Monson is the prophet of God. God answers prayers. The priesthood is real, and miracles do occur today. Revelation is real, and not limited to a select few. The Holy Ghost is a real person who is constantly working to help, inspire, and attest to the reality of God. The Book of Mormon is the gospel of Christ, as is the Bible. If you are studying those, and working to follow the precepts contained, you are on the right path. The prophets speak to us at least twice a year in General Conference; a fact which I love. I encourage you to seek out their voices, learn their messages, and follow their counsel. I say this in the name of Jesus Christ; Amen.
