I just can't get the lesson I had at institute last night out of my head. I just keep thinking that I didn't make a sacrifice. "giving up" my 4 year full ride scholarship to FIU really isn't a sacrifice. (Maybe one for FIU haha) But really it's a blessing. The Lord has a different, a better plan for me. To the world giving up college is a big deal. And even to me it was. Until last night. I realized I'm not the one making a sacrifice. I'm putting faith in my Lord. I'm doing what He wants, and in the end that path will take me to eternal marriage, a family, happiness, and the life I've always dreamed of having. I will be given eternal life. What greater a blessing?
We read this passage and it really touched me and inspired me to read the rest of the talk. So
Pondering a passage of scripture can be a key to unlock revelation and the guidance and inspiration of the Holy Ghost. Scriptures can calm an agitated soul, giving peace, hope, and a restoration of confidence in one’s ability to overcome the challenges of life. They have potent power to heal emotional challenges when there is faith in the Savior. They can accelerate physical healing.
This talk really teaches me how important the scriptures are and what a blessing they are in my life. I really am learning all about the blessings in my life. So here is the link to the talk. read and enjoy.
