Unmeasurable Love

I just wanted share something that is extremely important to me. I know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is the one and only completely true church on this earth. I know that the boy Joseph Smith was visited by God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ. I know that the Lord's will was to have Prophet Joseph restore His church here on the earth. I am so grateful that the young Joseph followed his heart and prayed to God that day! I would be so entirely lost without His gospel to help me through. I know from personal experience that if I want true happiness then I must follow the commandments of the Lord.


I know that I am but a mere mortal. I am far from sinless. I have felt the pain and sorrow that comes from breaking the Lord's commandments. I know that I can take my pain and sorrow to Christ and His Father. He will hear me out. He does forgive!!!! What a wonderfully merciful Lord this world has! I have felt the power of the Atonement in my life! I know that the Savior knows me personally along with every being to ever live. I know that the Savior wants to have ALL of his children back with Him in heaven. Through the Redeemer of the world, my scarlet sins can be made white once more. Greg Olsen does an amazing job at depicting this scripture Isaiah 1:18. Without the Savior there is no hope!
.
The last few weeks my mind has been pondering and I truly stand all amazed. Not only with the love I have felt from the Savior, but with His all-powerful hand that is so evident in this world. I see natures beauty and I can't help but see that it is all too wonderful to happen by mere chance. I hear of the many many miracles that Christ performed while on this earth, as well of the modern miracles performed by the Lord's servants, and my mind is blown away! How can people of this world not see His hand in all aspects???
I love my Savior, Jesus Christ, with all of my heart, might, and strength! I know all this to be true!!! Amen!! :)

Five more months!!!!!!

Wow!!!! My Elder Tim has been serving the Lord faithfully for a year and seven months as of today. A lot of time has gone by and Tim is still the guy at the forefront of my mind! I can hardly believe the change that has happened in the last year and a half. One thing that has been constant is Tim. He has always been there for me. Even when he is half way around the world, I draw so much strength from him!! I have a memorabilia from him. Its a necklace that I have worn everyday for almost two years. Tim gave me this necklace as a gift the Christmas before he left. To be honest, the only time it leaves my neck is when I wear the other necklace Tim gave me (Valentine's before he left), play volleyball in college (that has been a while), and when I shower. The necklace is a sego lily. When I go on dates, I always wonder if the guy is going to ask me about it.... That would be a great conversation on a date, ha ha ha. No one has asked. I don't think I will have to worry about it anymore. I am not liking the whole dating thing right now so I don't have to go on any dates (and no one has asked me!). I know I will be here when Tim gets home. The question is if we will stay together!

Now a quick update... I am absolutely loving being back in school. All of my classes are wonderful! I am the sophomore coach at Fremont High and my girls are doing wonderful!!!! I am so blessed to be working there. That covers the bases of my life as of now. I'll write more soon!!
