And it actually means a lot to me. In more than one way :)
This was the song that I fell in love with when I first heard it on the radio. My mother and I then bought the CD and I listened to it non-stop. When I went to EFY for my first year, the very last day we sang it as a session, and our company gathered in a circle and put our arms around each other and just sang. I've never felt the spirit so strong as I did in that moment. I remember having one arm around Lexika and one arm around my sweet Andy :) I remember crying, and others crying too. I remember Andy smiling at me throughout the song, and the squeeze he gave me the second I started crying. I remember knowing that this gospel is true. I remember thinking to myself, and witnessing as I was looking through this gym full of youth, that we are God's children. We are the chosen generation, and that we can endure these worldly times. I know we've been sent here to share the gospel, and I'm grateful that I'm still living today to share that with everyone.
I've also been thinking about serving a mission a lot, and it's something I feel I've always wanted to do, but been so unsure of the whole time. I'm really proud for Brady and all that he has accomplished while gone. I had one friend come home from his mission today, who not only made a difference in my life, but a difference in others as well. I have one more to come home this October, and I have 12 friends leaving this summer. I have 14 coming home next summer. It's just absolutely crazy to me! The Lord really needs us. And while he's calling the Elder's, us Sisters still need to serve, and we can do that in many ways.
I'm so grateful for the opportunity I have to share this major blessing in my life, with everyone around me :)
