Church

Church is amazing.
I love going to it,
i love the people there and just everything there is about it.
Someone once said to me, that the church rules my life.
and well in a way it kinda does.
I have my agency, and i can choose what i want to do and when.
I'm not afraid of the church, nor do i follow its standards because i dont wanna end up in some bad place.
I CHOOSE to live the standards set forth by the church and by me personally because
i KNOW that without the church, i'd be lost.
I believe in prayer and fasting. i read my scriptures (tho i should do it a little more often)
and i KNOW that God answers prayers.
Today was just one of those amazing days.
One of those days where things just seem to be happening for some reason.
and that's how pretty much my whole past few weeks have been like.
i got partnered up to home teach people in our congregation with someone that i knew
which was a good thing in itself
but this person and i used to be pretty close and now we dont really talk and there's still some
little bit of animosity between us. and yet i had a feeling that i needed to find a reason to hang around him a little more to try and repair our friendship.
and now is my oppportunity.
wow how the Lord works.
I also met with my Bishop today to tell him that i'll be moving to Boston in one month and so that he'd have a heads up and get my records transfered and stuff. and then i felt prompted to ask him to give me a blessing.
I dont know how they work with you or in your church but for me, here's how this went.
My bishop doesnt know me very well, to the point where he needed to ask me my full name.
(and thats cuz i just barely came into his congregation from the family ward)
And he said some of the most profound things to me in that blessing.
and it just gave me peace to know that i'm going to boston for a reason, and yeah its going to be scary and harder. but that with the Lord's help, i'll make it.
i could tell by the words that my bishop used in that blessing that it wasn't his words,
but that they were the Lord's words. Things that were promised me and things that i needed to hear that only someone who knows me like the Father in Heaven knows me, could give to me.
Comfort, Peace, Strength.
I hope that i can always remember my destiny and never forget what the Lord has in store for me. I hope i dont dissapoint him, or hinder the blessings He wants to give me for following Him.
I just need to keep choosing the right, and flee from that which is bad.
I've had a hard time with it in the past.
and the Lord told me in that blessing from my bishop
that in Boston, its going to be harder.
but that I CAN MAKE IT
I think i can
i think i can
I KNOW I CAN
i WILL make it.
Everything will be alright.
Happy day!
Allelujah!
Praise the Lord!
