This morning I woke up super early and realized I hadn't prayed. So of course, even though it was 5am, that's what I did. I prayed. I told God about how thankful I am for my family, my friends, the beautiful days He's given us, and for blessing the Elders that have helped me.
I woke up about 5 hours later with the realization that baptism is in fact the thing for me, which is funny because that wasn't something I prayed about this morning. So I guess I can conclude that sometimes answers come when we least expect them. I have faith that my Heavenly Father is leading me in the way He wants me to go, even if this means being baptized. I look forward to having the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost.
I also had a lesson tonight about scripture and why it's important and significant in our lives. That truly did open my eyes to some thoughts I hadn't had in a very long time. Scripture is important for us because it enables us to prove to ourselves things we've learned. It's the living proof of things we have learned from our Heavenly Father. It's a guide and sometimes it's where we find the most answers to our questions.
I have also learned to have faith in what the Elders have been teaching me. Until tonight, I never realized how connected everything is, and without faith, I probably would've never realized it.
I shared a story with one of the Elders that I have never told anyone else. I learned that when we repent, which in a way is prayer, Christ pretty much ends up forgiving our sins. The one I shared was pretty bad and I nearly did it. Something I have found to be unforgivable and yet, I learned that Christ forgives us no matter what we do.
Learning everything I have through the Holy Ghost has been a life changing experience. I never thought that I would witness the power of the Spirit through something as simple as lessons. Quite honestly, I'm not sure what I expected, but it certainly wasn't that.
I am so happy the Holy Ghost has become a part of my life. It's truly made me want to strive to learn more about our Heavenly Father. It has changed me as a person, and for that I am very grateful. I would not be the way I am without the Spirit.
