A Life

The other night we went over to a families home. The mom showed us a paper that was all crumpled up, she told us she was about to throw it away when she read it. It was written by her 10 year old girl. I loved it and wanted to share. I hope you enjoy it. 

It is so important to choose to be happy. "[men and women] are free to choose liberty and eternal life, through the great Mediator of all men, or to choose captivity and death, according to the captivity and power of the devil; for he seeketh that all men might be miserable like unto himself." 2 Nephi 2:27

Gods Love

I was having a hard few days. It is not an easy thing being a missionary and I was kinda down. Yesterday I had a meeting with some other missionaries. One Elder talked about how much God loves each of His children. He shared how important it is for us to help his other children learn of His love for them. The spirit was so strong as he shared these things. The spirit spoke to me and I was able to remember how much I am loved by our Father in Heaven. I had a greater desire to the best missionary I can be and help His children feel of the same love I have felt.
I urge you to pray that you too might be able to feel of our Heavenly Fathers Love for you. I know He loves you! I also know that He will answer your sincere prayer.

"I am encircled about eternally in the arms of his love."
2 Nephi 1:15   

Reflection

The other day I was looking into my mirror, It was kind of a hard day. As I was looking at myself I thought of the song Reflection from Mulan.

Who is that girl I see staring straight back at me? 

Why is my reflection someone I don't know?

Some how I can not hide,

Who I am, though I've tried.

When will my reflection show who I am inside? 

When will my reflection show who I am inside?

As I continued to look into the mirror another song came to mind. Its a song that I have song ever since I was little. It is I am a Child of God.

I am a child of God,

And He has sent me here.

Has given me an earthly home,

With parents kind and dear. 

Lead me, guide me, walk beside me,

Help me find the way. 

Teach me all that I must do, 

To live with him some day

What a wonderful thing that is to know who I am. That I am a child of God... and so are you. Yes, things are hard but we have our loving Heavenly Father to help us. He will give us the strength that we need as we turn to him. He loves you!
