My Two New Favourite Scripture Verses

First and foremost, I am sure that you may find it annoying after for awhile of me sharing short and sweet posts. Haha, I am serious. Am I right? It is alright if you answered no, I am wrong. If you answered yes, I am so sorry.

Did you notice that I was off Facebook for the most of the past three weeks?
You may ask me, "Where have you been for the past three weeks?"

For the past three weeks, I have been so busy. I have been so busy reading The Book of Mormon and I have learned a lot. I have completed reading The Book of Mormon this morning and I was able to commit to stay off Facebook for the most three weeks. Instead of being on Facebook; I was able to use my time more wisely and effectively. I seemed to be a more happier person than I was four weeks ago.

Always remember Heavenly Father is the same, yesterday, today and forever.

While I reading The Book of Mormon, I kept marking new scripture verses that I loved and two of those scripture verses became my favourite scripture verses. I would like to share with you where those scripture verses are found, what do they say and why are they my favourite.

2 Nephi: Chapter 31, verse 20 
"Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold thus saith the Father; Ye shall have eternal life."

It is my favourite scripture verse because I know whenever I press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, I always seem to become a better and more happier person. Feasting upon the word of Christ is like reading the scriptures, and I know whenever I read the scriptures, it helps me to have a closer relationship with Heavenly Father.

Mosiah: Chapter 4, verse 30
"But this much I can tell you, that if ye do not watch yourselves, and your thoughts, and your words, and your deeds, and observe the commandments of God, and continue in the faith of what ye have heard concerning the coming of our Lord, even unto the end of your lives, ye must perish. And now, O man, remember, perish not."

It is my favourite scripture verse because I know if I am not careful about my thoughts, my actions, my words, etc, there are serious consquences and I know if I am careful about my thoughts, my actions, my words, etc, I would be more aware about the consquences.

If you can not see the Image that I have shared above for this post, it says "The Book of Mormon is the best guide to learn how well we are doing and how to do better. - Henry B. Eyring."

If you ever have a spare moment, please read the scriptures. Always remember to invite the spirit to be with you while you are reading the scriptures because it makes the reading more meaningful and helps you to learn something new.

Happy 14th Birthday Rebekah!

This post is short and sweet. This post is based on wishing my youngest sister Rebekah a Happy 14th Birthday.
Can you believe that Rebekah has turned fourteen years old today? Where did the time go?

I still remember holding Rebekah when she was a baby for the first time and I can not believe that was almost fourteen years ago. I would like to wish my youngest sister Rebekah a Happy 14th Birthday and I hope she had a very good day. It feels like just yesterday when I was turning fourteen years old and I still remember that day.

Yikes that was six years ago when I was fourteen years old. I can not believe it has taken Rebekah fourteen years to be taller than me. I feel so short next to her. Again, I would like to wish her a Happy 14th Birthday and I hope that she had a very good day.

I am a Princess

This post is short and sweet. If you are a young woman or elderly woman who is reading this post at this present now/right now, you do not have to have a tiara on your head to define you as a Princess. I already know that you are a Princess in your heart. While I was cleaning my bedroom recently, I found a very simple and little note and I would like this post to be based on that note.

If you can not see the Image above, it says "Im a princess"

It mentions, "I am a Princess
Deep inside my young heart lies the one I want to be. And deep inside my soul I find the seeds of divinity. Now and then I see glimpses of the woman I can become. I know someday I'll find her here if I don't give up.

Everyday I'm closer to the one I want to be. And slowly I'm uncovering my heavenly qualities and I'll continue working toward the woman I can become. Developing my qualities through service and through love. I am a princess, a royal Queen I'll be.

So I must choose to find and use my divine qualities. Daughter of heaven, a Queen someday I'll be."

I thought the note was beautiful said. What did you think?

YSA Fireside: Building Relationships notes

This evening, I attended a recent Young Single Adult Fireside and the theme for the Fireside was "Building Relationships. While I was listening to what Brother Nicholson and Sister Nicholson said, I took some notes.                   I would like to share with you my notes.

Before I share the notes, I shared an Image and I hope you can see it. If you can not see it, it says "Every woman deserves a man who respects her, and every man deserves a woman who appreciates his effort."

First: Purpose
Second: Financially security
Third: Valuable relationships with love and respect

Everyone can become successful. Love God and love thy neighbour. Learn more about dating and relationships. Satan is working overtime to attack the family and the formation of relationships.

Why do relationships fail?

Five Steps:

One: Hang Out - What is the purpose, and making new friends.

Two: Dating - Find out more about the person, time to get to know each other, doing fun activities together and talking to each other.

Three: Courting - One on one and being exclusive.
Four: Engagement
Five: Marriage

Think about spiritual initimacy, what do you believe?


Say what you mean, do not say any mean words, be upfront. Treat everyone with respect.
You are learning about yourself while you are dating others. Faint heart never won fair lady.

If she is not interested, date someone else. Dating and Courting get mized ups and confusing.
Outcome, you get to call that someone your very best friend. Make decisions together.

Support each other all the way. Find a companion that shares the same values as you.
One date or ten dates before courting. Dates cost should be inexpensive.

God Shall Wipe Away All Tears

This post is based on a most recent General Conference talk from Sunday afternoon session that I love called, "God Shall Wipe Away All Tears" by Elder Evan A. Schmutz. I would like to share with you some highlights while I was reading and listening to the talk.

Elder Schmutz mentioned, "As part of our Heavenly Father’s plan, He allowed sorrow to be woven into our mortal experience. While it seems that painful trials fall unevenly on us, we can be assured that to one degree or another, we all suffer and struggle. It is my prayer that the Holy Spirit will guide us to a greater understanding why this must be so.

When we view the difficult experiences of life through the lens of faith in Christ, we are able to see that there can be godly purpose in our suffering. The faithful can experience the truth of Peter’s seemingly contradictory counsel. He wrote, “If ye suffer for righteousness’ sake, happy are ye.”

As we apply our “hearts to understanding,” we can increase in our ability to both endure our trials well and learn from and be refined by them. Such understanding provides an answer to the ageless question “Why do bad things happen to good people?” Everyone listening today is acquainted with some measure of loneliness, despair, grief, pain, or sorrow.

Without an “eye of faith” and an understanding of eternal truth, we often find that the misery and suffering experienced in mortality can obscure or eclipse the eternal joy of knowing that the great plan of our Father in
Heaven really is the eternal plan of happiness. There is no other way to receive a fulness of joy.

God invites us to respond with faith to our own unique afflictions in order that we may reap blessings and gain knowledge that can be learned in no other way. We are instructed to keep the commandments in every condition and circumstance, for “he that is faithful in tribulation, the reward of the same is greater in the kingdom of heaven.” And as we read in scripture, “If thou art sorrowful, call on the Lord thy God with supplication, that your souls may be joyful.”

If I may speak to you individually “all ye that labour and are heavy laden” may I suggest that your personal struggles your individual sorrows, pains, tribulations, and infirmities of every kind are all known to our Father in Heaven and to His Son. Take courage! Have faith! And believe in the promises of God!

The purpose and mission of Jesus Christ included that He would “take upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his people,” “take upon him their infirmities,” and “succor his people according to their infirmities.”

To fully receive these gifts our Savior has so freely offered, we all must learn that suffering in and of itself does not teach or grant to us anything of lasting value unless we deliberately become involved in the process of learning from our afflictions through the exercise of faith.

I have observed in the lives and examples of others that exercising strong and abiding faith in Jesus Christ and His promises provides the sure hope of better things to come. This sure hope steadies us, bringing the strength and power we need in order to endure. When we can link our suffering to an assurance of purpose in our mortality and more specifically to the reward awaiting us in heavenly places, our faith in Christ increases and we receive comfort to our souls.

Then we can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Elder Jeffrey R. Holland has taught: “There really is light at the end of the tunnel. It is the Light of the World, the Bright and Morning Star, the ‘light that is endless, that can never be darkened’ [Mosiah 16:9]. It is the very Son of God Himself.”

We can take strength in knowing that all the hard experiences in this life are temporary; even the darkest nights turn into dawn for the faithful. When all is finished and we have endured all things with faith in Jesus Christ, we have the promise that “God shall wipe away all [the] tears from [our] eyes.”

I would like to strongly encourage you to read the whole talk in your own time and here is the link,
www.lds.org/general-conference/2016/10/god-shall-wipe-away-all-tears

If you can not see the Image that I have shared for this post, it says "The Savior can wipe away our tears of regret and remove the burden of our sins his atonement allows us to leave the past behind and move forward with clean hands a pure heart and ... become better. - President Dieter F.

My Suggestions for a Returned Missionary

This post is based on my suggestions that I have for all Returned Missionaries including all early Returned Missionaries who recently returned home from his mission/her mission and who has been home from his mission/her mission over than one year. I strongly encourage you to think about and consider doing a few
of the suggestions.

Have you struggled of not sure what to do next since you finished your mission?

Whatever you decide to do after your mission, please do not go back to your old self before your mission.             Whatever you decide to do now, please remember all the things that you have learned during your mission.

~ Attend sessions at the nearest Temple from home often - make Temple a priority for seeking some relevations.
~ Take serious things slow and do not rush - some quick relationships leads to quick marriages equals too fast.                 ~ Attend Institute often - make Institute another priority for making new friendships and for learning.

~ Continue with personal scripture study daily - it helps you to gain a closer relationship with Heavenly Father.
~ Continue with personal prayer daily - again, it helps you to gain a closer relationship with Heavenly Father.

~ Fellowship with some investigators and some recent converts - make them feel welcome to church.                             ~ Fellowship with some inactives and some less actives - make them feel welcome back to church.
~ Fellowship with some new members to the Ward - make them feel welcome to church.

~ Spend some time with your relatives, especially spending time with your immediate family members.
~ Take some time to adjust to reality and start a new routine/schedule of what to do each day.

~ If you started studying a course before your mission, I strongly encourage you to finish that course.
~ Find a course that you have a passion in and start studying it
~ Find work, apply jobs that you see yourself working at.

~ Look for opportunities to serve others - it can be going out with your ward missionaries and give them some tips.
~ Look for opportunities to serve others such as do your Visiting Teaching or Home Teaching.

~ Go on some dates and getting to know other people when you feel ready to.
~ Do not feel discouraged when things does not go the way you want it to.

~ Go to Young Single Adult Dances, Young Single Adult Firesides, etc to make some new friendships.
~ Read some old General Conference talks - that talks about post mission, etc.

~ Stay in contact with the people who you have met during your mission - it shows that you have not forgotten them.
~ Spend some time with some of your true friends.
~ Use your time wisely - time is very precious.
 
~ Stay busy

Turn Around, Don't Be Trapped!

This post is short and sweet. I love learning new life lessons and I also love reminding myself of the life lessons that I already learned.

In the gospel Jesus Christ, we always learned to listen carefully and act upon to the promptings of the Holy Ghost. We also learned that Heavenly Father's Plan will always makes us feel happy and cheerful when we are striving our best to follow his plan. When we are not following his plan, and following Satan's Plan, it makes us feel sadness. 

I would like to share with you a wonderful example. Yesterday afternoon, I drove all the way and stop within twenty minutes drive away from New South Wales broder. I kept driving on the road heading towards New South Wales broder, until a road sign says "No Through Road."

I felt confused because I thought I knew where I was going. I felt trapped. I did not know where to go straight away. It took me awhile to think about what to do.

I love what the Image says below. If you can not see the Image below, it says "No matter how far you've gone down the wrong road, you can always turn around."

I eventually decided to turn around and come back to the way that I drove from. I had to retaught myself a few principles that I have already learned from the experience and that is;

1. Most times in life, Satan does not want anyone to experience happiness and he wants everyone to feel sadness. He is always striving his best to tempt people to make the wrong choices.

2. He wants people to feel trapped and feel there is no escape. He can also tempt people to make them forget how they can turn back to Heavenly Father.

3. Turn around to go back to follow Heavenly Father's Plan, and do not feel trapped by Satan."

We can always turn around to follow Heavenly Father's Plan by doing the following things and it is my suggestions. Reading scriptures daily, saying personal prayers daily, reading Pariarchal Blessing often if you have one, read General Conference talks regularly, attend Temple sessions often if you are worthy and have a current Temple recommend, etc.

Remember to turn around, and do not feel trapped.

My Wonderful Experience with the Camira Ward Sisters!

Today has reached eight days ago since I first met an elderly lady named Ana and I still remember that day. I still remember what I was doing amd that was helping Ana with putting her groceries in her car from the trolley and I also was sharing a little of my testimony stating that I know families can be together forever and I know that she will see her son again.

I had a friend with me on that day and mentioning what I said is true because she believe in those things too. I still remember how I felt and that was filled so much with the spirit from General Conference.

This morning, I was having a quick conversation with one of the Full-Time missionaries who is serving in Forest Lake ward. I was asking productive questions that will help me to know who would be the nearest missionaries in Ana's area, and what ward is the Missionaries and I forgot to follow up with the missionaries after church for getting the nearest missionaries's phone number of Ana's area.

The Image above is me and the Sister Missionaries.

The nearest missionaries for Ana's area is Camira Ward. Sometime after church, I started to make my way driving to Ana's house and I felt a strange feeling. I turned around and I started making my way to the chapel where Camira ward meets. I arrived at Camira ward late and I was able to meet the Sister Missionaries.

I was feeling so much joy and happiness. I was so excited to share with the Sister Missionaries how I met Ana, and I would like to go with them for a lesson to teach Ana sometime during the week. I gave them my phone number. As they were about to leave Church, I also expressed to them that I would like to spend some time with them this afternoon.

After they left, I decided to stay at the chapel until the Sister Missionaries contacted me and I was waiting for about three hours and twenty minutes. During some of that time, I was in Goodna Ward. When they contacted me, I was so happy.

The Sister Missionaries sent me a text message that mentioned their flat address and I was looking forward to seeing them again. Fast forward from seeing someone else before visiting Ana, the Sister Missionaries asked me if I would like to see Ana and I answered, "Yes." Surely enough, we were on our way to Ana's house and I kept thinking about the first time when I met her.

When we arrived at Ana's house, I offered to say the prayer before we went inside and the prayer mentioned things that I did not think of before. When Ana opened the door for us, I felt so much happiness and I kept thinking how grateful I am to see Ana again.

The Sister Missionaries was expecting to just to get to know Ana but the spirit was so strong that me and the Sister Missionaries shared a lesson on The Plan of Salvation. During the lesson, I kept thinking about her loved ones who already passed on what they will be thinking about. I know that they will be very happy.

They will be very happy about the gospel brings happiness to people lives and the great understanding to know that when Ana pass on, she will see them again. By the end of the lesson, we asked her if she would like to know more about the gospel and the moment when she said "Yes," I was about to cry of how much that lesson has touched and helped her more deep understanding of this life.

The next lesson got scheluded to this Wednesday. If you are a member of the Church, I strongly encourage you pray for a missionary experience and do not give up praying because one day, you will be able to have a missionary experience. A missionary experience always start small, such as sharing a little of your testimony stating what you know are true and always pray to have the spirit to be with you.

If you are not a member of the Church, I strongly encourage you to get discussions with the Missionaries and it will bless your life for the better!

Take Time for Your Children

This post is based on a October 1993 General Conference talk that I like and it is called, "Take Time for Your Children" by Elder Ben B. Banks. I would like to share with you some highlights while I was reading the talk.

Before sharing with you the highlights, I really like the Image below. If you can not see it, it says "In the end, kids won't remember that fancy toy or game you bought for them, they will remember the time you spent with them. - Kevin Heath."

Elder Banks mentioned, "We cannot overemphasize the importance of parenthood and the family. Some Latter-day Saint families are what we refer to as the “traditional family,” consisting of parents and children all together in a permanent relationship, with both mother and father sharing in the responsibility of caring for children. Others have witnessed the loss of one of the parents and become one of the many single-parent families.

I am one who grew up in a single-parent home. My father lost his life as a result of a construction accident when I was two years old, leaving my mother with seven children to raise. Even in single-parent families, the family continues on, for families are forever. Perhaps few human challenges are greater than that of being good parents.

Yes, even with the best intentions, conscientious, good parents sometimes experience feelings of despair, failure, and hurt when children do not make right choices and turn out the way we would like. Even in those circumstances it is so important for parents to love, pray for, and never give up hope for a son or daughter who may have strayed or brought disappointment.

Elder Howard W. Hunter stated: “The responsibilities of parenthood are of the greatest importance. The results of our efforts will have eternal consequences for us and the boys and girls we raise. Anyone who becomes a parent is under strict obligation to protect and love his children and assist them to return to their Heavenly Father”

Parents should be the master teachers of their children. The Church will assist parents in their teaching and training, but only assist. The Church cannot be a substitute for parental responsibility.

Elder Richard L. Evans said the home “is also the source of our personal lives, and in a sense the determiner of our everlasting lives. And so our plea is for parents to take the time it takes to draw near to the children God has given them. Let there be love at home. Let there be tenderness and teaching and caring for and not a shifting of responsibility onto others. God grant that we may never be too busy to do the things that matter most, for ‘Home makes the man’”

Effective communication - Parents should spend a great deal of time listening, not just telling. This listening should be done with an open mind and heart. When children feel they can talk freely about their feelings, problems, and successes, wonderful relationships develop between parents and children.

Enthrone love and unity - It is important to make your children aware of your love and feelings. This can be done by a hundred little acts and gestures, such as tucking children into bed at night after listening to their prayers, offering a comforting arm or ear even though he or she may not be hurt very badly.

Encourage children to support each other through attendance at ball games and concerts where a family member is participating.

Do things together - Vacations and recreational activities, also family work projects, give parents a good opportunity to teach the importance of developing a good work ethic. Doing things together gives a child and parent an opportunity to share their attention in a common objective.

Provide opportunities to learn how to be independent and responsible. Teach children how to make their own decisions, even if it involves their failing once in a while. We need to help children come to an understanding such as Lehi taught, “knowing good from evil; to act for themselves and not to be acted upon."

Discipline with love.

Service - In his great farewell address, King Benjamin taught, “When ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God." There are few rewards in life that bring greater feelings of satisfaction, joy, and peace than when one gives meaningful service to a fellow being standing in need.

The last and most important is to establish a “house of God.”

It is not easy for children to stay clean and pure in today’s world. There are times when it becomes hard for them to tell right from wrong. We need to teach our children, as Alma taught his son Corianton, “Wickedness never was happiness." Teach them to stay on the Lord’s side of the line. Hold family home evening regularly. Hold family prayer twice a day, if possible.

Teach them to love the scriptures and how to experience the sweet answer to individual prayer. Teach them to understand and recognize how the Holy Ghost communicates with us and how it comes as promptings, thoughts, impressions, and feelings. Teach the sacred significance of the atoning sacrifice of our Savior Jesus Christ.

That all who are parents might be successful in convincing their children that true joy and happiness come from living the gospel of Jesus Christ, and that parents might find joy and fulfillment in their efforts and sacred role, is my prayer, in the name of Jesus Christ, amen."

Go and Do

I learned so much for the past three days, I would like to share with you some lessons that I have learned, and some of the highlights that has happened during those past three days and three nights. 

On Friday morning, I was thinking about the plans and the back up plans that I was looking forward to achieve some of those plans for the day.

Plans was: Prayer, have Breakfast, read a few chapters of The Book of Mormon, spend some time with Dad, have lunch out, go out with Holland Park 2 Sister Missionaries, dinner with them, and then go to the Centenary stake YSA Dance alone.

Back up Plans was; Prayer, have Breakfast, read a few chapters of The Book of Mormon, spend some time with Dad, have lunch out, go to Browns Plains for using the computers to apply some jobs, have dinner out and go to the Centenary stake YSA Dance alone.

My day ended up being completely different! The day ended up being like Prayer, Breakfast, I read a few chapters of The Book of Mormon, plans with Sister Missionaries got cancelled, I spent some time with Dad, I went to Jordan's house to have lunch, I picked up Jordan from Forest Lake shopping centre area, I went job seeking with Jordan by going in stores together, I gave Jordan my phone number and he texted me for his phone number, I saw an inactive as I walked back to my car, I got my resumes printed by a Job Agency, Jordan texted me his found work, I moved my car to somewhere else, and I continued looking work.

Then, me and Jordan went back to his house. His Mum made dinner for me and him. We had a spiritual evening by watching two Mormon Messages, read a few chapters of The Book of Mormon, we sang two hymns, one hymn was called "If You Could Hie to Kolob" before we both left for the YSA dance, and we went to the YSA dance together. 

On that day, I learned "No matter what plans we have, Heavenly Father always have big and better plans in store."

Saturday's plans was: Prayer, have Breakfast, read a few chapters of The Book of Mormon, watch Saturday morning session of General Conference at Forestdale chapel, have lunch, do a Photo Shoot booking at the Gold Coast, and have dinner out. 

Saturday's back up plans was: Prayer, have Breakfast, read a few chapters of The Book of Mormon, have lunch, watch both Saturday morning and afternoon session of General Conference at Forestdale chapel and have dinner.

My day ended up being completely different! The day ended up being like Prayer, I had Breakfast, read a few chapters of The Book of Mormon, I helped Jordan's Mum and Jordan's Grandma, I had lunch, I watched at least four talks of Saturday morning session of General Conference with Jordan, Jordan's Mum and Jordan's Grandma, I helped someone who we just met named Ana, I started to testify about the Restoration message, I went shopping with Jordan's Mum, Jordan caught the wrong bus, me and Jordan had to effectively communicate to each other via some short phone calls to each other before picking him up, I drove Jordan to work, I continued seeking for work, I eventually found work, I had a late dinner, I eceived a priesthood blessing, I waited for Jordan to finish work, I took Jordan home and I drove to a member's house to sleep over.

I learned on that day, "Stay tuned with the spirit with might, mind and strength."

Sunday's plans was; Prayer, have Breakfast, read a few chapters of The Book of Mormon, watch both morning and afternoon session of General Conference, have lunch and have dinner.

My day ended up being completely different! The day ended up being like Prayer, I had Breakfast, I read a few chapters of The Book of Mormon, I watched Sunday morning session of General Conference at Logan stake chapel, I had lunch with a family, I took some photos, I had dinner with a family, I watched General Women's session of General Conference at Logan stake chapel and I caught up with Sister Kanwid.

I learned on that day, "Continue looking up, and stay positive in every situation."

If you can not see the Image that I have shared for this post, it says "Go & Do. You show your trust in Him when you listen with the intent to learn and repent and then you go & do whatever He asks. - President Henry B. Eyring."

Guiding to Make the Right Choices

I felt all of my choices that I have made yesterday and last night was all right choices and I knew that I was very tuned with the spirit. Yesterday afternoon, I drove to my job interview and I felt well confident that I will go well for the interview. I knew that I was not making a mistake of going to the interview.

After my interview, I reflect on my interview and I felt the interview went great. The interview felt like it went for short ten minutes. I decided to for a drive to a local public library and I was there for about one hour and thirty minutes.

After being at the public library for about one hour and thirty minutes, I drove to a TAFE college and it was closed. I felt a little down, but that is okay. I decided to go to where I used to walk with my sister Emma and my Mum when I was in primary school years, (around 7 years to 11 years).

My fuel tank of my car was still showing it was full and I already done about 80km. When I was arrived at a quiet place; I prayed to have the spirit to be with me, I expressed that I want to make the right choices, and mentioned other things.

After that prayer; I rewrite something that I already written since Sunday afternoon, I read my Partirachal Blessing and I read two letters that my Dad has written for me. After that, I really wanted to go and visit someone. A elderly sister who I have not seen for about two years.

I turned off to a street what was suppose to be hers, and then I turned off that street, went down the street, and then I droved back up, pass that one street and went to the other street. In my mind saying, "You forgot how to get there. Didn't you?" I must admit the answer was "Yes."

It was able to learn something from that experience and that was,
"Sometimes when the members of the Church are caught up in the world's society and feeling down, we can forget who we can turn to when we feel down."

Continue to the story of the day, I felt a little down that I was not able to see someone who I wanted to visit.

I did not fully understand why my fuel tank of my car was still showing it was full. The moment when I was about to drive through Forestdale, my heart was beating very fast and I did not know why. It must have been feeling to me to know that I was doing the right thing. 

When I arrived at Forest Lake's shopping centres, I called my Mum and I spoke to her for awhile. Then I got a strong impression to call someone else and when I called someone else, I found out she was sick. I was very tuned with the spirit and listened to that someone else.

After that phone call, I saw the stake president in the area and I was able to have a quick conversation with him. Who would have thought that I left home at a right time, I had my job interview, and all other turns before arriving at the Forest Lake area and ended the day with seeing the stake president in the area. Wow! It is amazing feeling!

After having a quick conversation with him, I was able to have dinner and sometime after I had dinner, I was able to make the decision to go to Institute. My car tank still shows it was full. I am very grateful that I went to Mission Preparation class, I learned something new and that was "When we say something is true, Holy Ghost must testify it is true." After Institute, I was still at the Chapel until 10pm.

On my way to drive home, I felt a strange feeling. I called up a YSA leader, and she didn't answer. I called a YSA and she didn't answer. When the YSA called me back, I pulled side of the road and answered. I was able to talk to her for about thirty minutes and then continued talking to her again when I began my way back home again.

Sometimes in life, it can be hard to recognise to guidance of the Holy Ghost and we need to allow the Holy Ghost help us get through each day and each night. I really love the Image that I have shared for this post and if you can not see the Image, it says "Maybe sometimes the hardest decisions we have to make are ones that God wants us to make ourselves."

Stay Tuned until next time.

When life is rough, pray! When life is great, pray!

My mind kept reminding myself a hymn "Did you think to pray?" I know I already shared a blog post based on that hymn and I would like to share another post about prayer. I would like you to think about the following questions and answer the questions in your own time.

If you can not see the Image above, it says "When life is rough, pray. When life is great, pray."

Do you want guidance? Have you prayed to the Lord for inspiration?

Do you want to do right or do you want to do what you want to do whether or not it is right?
Do you want to do what is best for you in the long run or what seems most desirable for the moment?

Have you prayed? How much have you prayed? How did you pray?

Have you prayed as did the Saviour of the world in Gethsemane or did you ask for what you want regardless of its being proper?

Do you say in your prayers; "Thy will be done"?

Did you say: "Heavenly Father, if you will inspire and impress me with the right, I will do that right"?

Or did you pray, "Give me what I want or I will take it any way"?

Did you say: "Father in Heaven, I love you, I believe in you, I know you are omniscient. I am honest. I am sincerely desirous of doing right. I know you can see the end from the beginning. You can see the future.

You can discern if under this situation I present, I will have peace or turmoil, happiness or sorrow, success or failure. Tell me please, loved Heavenly Father, and I promise to do what you tell me to do."

Have you prayed that way? Don't you think it may be wise? Are you courageous enough to pray that prayer?

Stay tuned until next time.

Everything takes time, time takes everything away.

I always kept writing in books to write about my notes as I watched General Conference during General Conference weekend, my notes about what I learned in Institute, my notes about what I learned during the three hours that I learned in church, my notes about what I learned from personal scripture study and time to time, I write about my notes how I feel when I go to the Temple.

I have been asked a few times by a few different people who I am close to about if I keep a journal or not. It felt strange whenever I answered, "no, however I used to blog often." I reminded myself about how I used to have a journal that I write in about my days but I did not pursue to continue writing in it often.

I love the Image says above and if you can not see the Image above, it says "Everything takes time, Time takes everything away."

On Sunday afternoon was when I felt inspired and decided to make an effort to have a journal that I can write in whenever I feel like it and write in it often. It made me feel so happy about the decision.

I would like to share with you what the first page was about that I wrote in the journal. It says, "Sometimes things does not seem to work out straight away, everything takes time, even the little things will become big and greater things.

When things does not work out straight away, do not feel discouraged because eventually things will work out in a later time and that later time called "the Lord's timing." Sometimes I feel like that I wanna give up and I do not know where do I stand with things.

I do not like having higher expectations and things does not work out. I want to make the right choices and it is hard. Losing the spirit sucks at times and I feel weak and upset when those times happen. I have to learn at times to let go and move on. I already see myself happy and stuck with helping a lot of people."
