I usually listen to an audio book while I drive, however last night I didn't have time to find another one to check out and download in time, so I popped in a mission CD and jammed along. It's amazing the memories that I have associated with each song, but the overall feelings was one of peace and comfort.
Sometimes I forget how much I love the gospel of Jesus Christ. Sometimes I forget how much Heavenly Father loves me. And sometimes, I forget that I'm happier when I am selfless. It is rare that I have a minute to myself that isn't full of a list of things to do, and I have resented that. I am not a perfect person, but today I was reminded of a simple truth - I'm not here to just coast through life and survive until I finish school, I am here to make a difference, small as it may be. I am grateful for the things I learned about my Savior on my mission. That has been the biggest blessing in my life. I have seen the healing power of the atonement and the sweet workings of the spirit too many times to deny the truth. I want to be better. Especially at putting the Savior and his work first in my life. Chris has always been great at reminding me of this, but sometimes I don't take it to heart. This morning, I finally took it to my heart, and hopefully it stays for awhile."He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never all retreat; He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgement-seat: Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! Be jubilant, my feet! Our God is marching on."
