Yesterday was one of the best days... well, class periods... of my life. I have Brother Taeger for seminary B3, and we had one of the most amazing lessons of my life. I cried. Shocker there, huh? To start the class off, I decided to share a little bit of a letter that I got in YW's. The letter, believe it or not, is from Heavenly Father to all the daughters of the earth. Yes. :)
Wanna read it? Well I'll let you read it. Here goes!
Dear Daughter,
I remember well the day you left my side, wandered through the veil and ventured forth to fulfill your earthly mission. I had a tear in my eye each time I clothed your spirit in a cloak of love and sent you off to school. Be assured that my thoughts are with you now, as always.
I love you with all of my heart. I know your life, the good, the bad, your grief, your disappointment, your unrewarded efforts, your frustrations, and your temptations. But always remember, all that I have is yours if you will only come home again.
Daughter, realize that in you I have placed a bit of heaven. No one was exempt. I love all of my children. You have some blest gift, some talent, some little part of me in you. Search for it, develop it, use it, and most importantly, share it with others. If you really love me, then help others find themselves and lead them to me. Show your love by serving others.
Repent of your failings and humble yourself. Make yourself ever teachable and continually strive to improve. I gave you weaknesses to help you to be humble. Don't condemn me for that. I did it because I love you. Be full of hope. Don't let discouragement engulf you. I'll come, if you need me.
Daughter, cease your idle contentions. Be a peacemaker, for it breaks my heart to see so many of my children fighting. If they could only see what I have helped, planned, and desired for them. My heart breaks as I watch them. But you, my faithful daughter, are my hope. It is through you that my work must proceed. You haven't much time and there is so much to be done. I beg you to get started. Accomplish the mission I gave you before you left me. I'll help you. I'll never be too busy or too far away to come to you. I'm nearer to you always than you might suspect. I have so much I would like to tell you, but I can't here.
Come to me often in prayer. I love to talk to you, my beloved Daughter. Be diligent in my work, and my kindgom shall be yours. I'd love to take you in my arms, but I, too, must wait patiently; that time will come. Till then, I leave you with my peace, my blessings, my love and never forget I am nearby whenever you need me.
I love you and miss you so very much, and oh, how I am looking forward to your return again to me and your Mother.
All my love,
Your Heavenly Father
Doesn't that just lift your spirit WAY up in the air? Mine does. So already after sharing this, I was in a good, learning, excited mood. Oh, I forgot to mention the most important part of this all; the missionaries were in our class! Brother Williams and Brother Marshall. Later on in the lesson, I shared an example that I was struggling with and felt like my situation was helpless. But then Brother Williams, sitting behind me, talked to me specifically reassuring that it is NOT too late. That things change later on in my life, and in the lives of those I am worried for. I knew there was a reason I coincidently forgot to wear make-up that day... because like I said earlier, I cried. That one missionary really changed my perspective on more than one situation in my life. I just love missionaries. BUT THEN! Yes, there is more. Brother Williams turns out to be a singer song writer. So he played his guitar and sang a song he wrote for us in seminary. I was able to write down the last little bit of the song that is AMAZING. So, here we go again!
My spirit's willing but the flesh was weak
While you're away I'll feed your sheep
Yes I will follow you to see the end
Till I see your face
Till I feel your grace
I will follow you to see the end
It's called "To See the End". This all happend on a thursday, which means Feast was that day. I never attended any Feast's, but felt like today was the today! There's a beginning for everything! Before Feast I went a gathered some of my peeps and strongly encouraged them to come with. Kaden, Izak, Savanna, Austin, and Jared all came with me. The missionary once again sang that song. It hit me so hard, and I felt the spirit SO much that day. I love the church. :)
Anyways, I just wanted to share some of my feelings with you, and hope the things I've said can also help you. You know, I kinda like this whole blog thing now... I think I shall keep up. :) Woohoo!
No more criticizing me for putting spiritual things on my blog. Hypocrite... Love you!
