Remembering Who I Am

Hello friends it has been a long time! But I am glad to be back. In my leave of absence so much has happened. But even with all the ups and the downs I still find myself discovering my Savior. It's amazing to think that even though I feel like I know so much I still have lot to discover about Christ. Over the past year and a half I have had a lot of discovery about myself and my Savior. I have thought long about who do I want to be? As well as who does the Savior need me to become?

There comes a time in your life when you ask yourself what am I doing with my life? When this happened to me I was shocked and couldn't even piece things together. I thought I was on the path that God wanted me to be on. I was doing what He had so clearly asked me to do. I was at school full time, I was starting a relationship with a man that had great morals and encouraged me to better my relationship with God. Everything lined up and then one day I felt very strongly that I needed a change in my life. This led me to transfer schools, ending my relationship, and starting a new journey. It was scary at first and it still is a little intimidating. But the joy and unexpected blessing and opportunities have been amazing! I can't even begin to explain how many thing have fallen into place. Work, school, internships, and new life long friendships have all been part of this new path. It's all apart of His plan and I love that.

During this new path in life I am reminded that I am a daughter of a loving Heavenly Father. He loves me, encourages me, and pushes me all at once. I have divine worth and an eternal destiny! This constant reminder of eternal love and worth fills me with the motivation I need to pursue my goals and dreams.

Through my new adventures I have found that I want to be gentle, but bold. Humble, but determined. But most importantly I want to be kind and courageous. I think that the Savior must have had a lot of courage, as well as faith, to do the things He did. To heal the sick, even when people around didn't believe and mocked Him. To continue to have kindness to those that spit in his face and laughed. To carry His own cross, to His own death and still have others around Him on His mind. I truly believe that the Savior was filled with kindness and courage.

Life is ever changing. I think the one thing that will be constant in life is change, ironically, and the Savior. With that being said who better to have by my side through it all than the Savior himself.

Remembering who I am and who the Savior needs me to be has been inspirational to me. It has pushed me to do things that I never would have dreamed of doing. The best part though is the feeling of security and love knowing that I am a daughter of an all mighty God. I love Him and He loves me.
