Mission Statement

"Try a little harder to fortify someone so powerfully that whatever temptations the devils of hell throw at her or him, they will be able to withstand and thus truly in that moment be free from evil."

Ever have a day like this?

Have you ever felt like you lost the spirit in your life and no matter what you do you can't get it back? But then, you wake up and you ride the bus in the morning and you feel peace? And you haven't felt peace in a while and you realize that something is right about all this. Then you go to work and you get the privelge of sitting in on a meeting between all of your female co-workers and mediate because there is so much estrogen floating around that everyone might just suffocate because of it. So you sit and listen to them express their "feelings and concerns" and pray over and over again in your head to Heavenly Father (who you haven't really felt much in your life as of lately) to help you to know what to say to balance out the emotions and do the right thing to help everyone feel the spirit. And then it comes to you, and you contribute your thoughts and personal experiences from your life and you are able to touch someone else's life for the better and you realize "hey... the Lord used me right there. Maybe I'm not so bad." And then you think... (deep breath...) maybe I AM on the right track. And then you sit in a one on one with your boss (who's a man) and talk to him about goals and things just start coming to your mind and he (this man who you admire who is a Bishop and one of the kindest men you know) says to you that he feels the spirit and is grateful that you can feel the spirit to be able to mediate and help the group as a whole, and then you think... "what just happened?" And you feel the Love of the Lord. And it's amazing. And you think... YES... this is right and I am okay. And I have made correct/right decisions in my life and you feel peace about them. ALOT OF PEACE, and you tell the Lord again and again how much you love him and how much you have missed him, and it's as if you feel his arms around you, and it's great. And you know everything will be okay and everything will work out.
That has been my day so far.
