Called to Serve

These are some of my late night ramblings, but this subject has been on my mind, a lot these past couple days.

The Gospel.

I can't get it out of my mind. I can't get the thought of sharing it, out of my mind either. I keep thinking of ways I could share the gospel more, so I got a twitter again. But then I worry that people won't follow me because I share too much "Mormon stuff." I also feel like I'll lose friends on Facebook... But that's now what I should be worrying about. I should be worrying about my duty, when I was called to serve here, on the earth, during these Latter-days.

I may not be going on a mission. Even though it was something I really wanted to do for a long time, I'm still called to serve. I'm still a member missionary, and I can still spread the gospel just as often as a full-time LDS missionary. And I'm so grateful for that.

Little reminders in my head all week, that I am a Child of God, and that my Heavenly Father loves me. So very, very much. I know I can spread the gospel in ways He needs me to. So as I strive to serve daily, I keep in my prayers that very duty.

I walked to and from the gym today, it was beautiful outside. As I was walking home, this song started playing. As Easter is approaching, and general conference, I'm getting very excited. I had this feeling that I should just listen to it. So I did, and I felt so much happiness. I do, Believe in Christ. After which, this song started playing and I absolutely love this song. It's so beautiful and of course, I absolutely love MoTab.

I am so excited to get prepared for General Conference. I'm going to start pondering questions, and thinks for my future. I've decided to get a journal just for general conference. It's going to be awesome :) I'm so excited to hear from our prophet, the twelve apostles and other general authorities. I really wish conference was more frequent than just 2 times a year. I really hope I can focus on my Savior, and His resurrection this coming Easter.

I hope I always remember to be Christlike and remember to spread the gospel wherever I can. I do not want to rob anyone of this beautiful joy. Everyone is loved by the Lord.

I've been wanting to read the scriptures with Brady. I haven't been doing so well personally. I've hit Jacob and I'm just stumped because chapter 5 is soooooo long, but that shouldn't be the reason. ANYWAY. I told Brady I would really like to start reading the scriptures with him. And even though I'm reading the Book of Mormon right now, I've felt prompted to start reading D&C. I haven't read D&C in a few years and I miss it. Every time I hear a verse or two, I always wonder why I'm not reading it again. So tonight, Brady and I read D&C 1. It was beautiful, and I really felt the Spirit. I know this will bless us, and us individually. I not only want to draw closer to the Spirit personally, but I want to with Brady, as a companionship as well. :)

I'm going to strive so much harder to share the gospel, whether it's on my blog, Facebook, twitter, or by simply opening my mouth. This is the most important thing in my life, and it always will be. I'm so excited for general conference and I hope you are too.

I know this gospel to be true, and I know that my Savior lives and loves me. I know my Heavenly Father sent me to this earth, to serve him and to become just as He is. I cannot wait for my return; to hug him, see his face. I cannot wait to be greeted by my Savior, and I cannot wait to see loved ones who have passed on. I know this Gospel is essential to the path that leads to the Celestial Kingdom. I know the Book of Mormon to be true, and I stand as a witness for Joseph Smith, Jr. I know He translated the book correctly, and as God allowed him to. I'm grateful for his example, and his desire to serve the Lord in every situation. I know that families will be together forever. I know that the day I kneel across the altar, and make those sacred covenants, I will hold strong, because I have the gospel in my life, and strive daily to be like our Savior. I know that I will be with Brady forever, and no matter how our family turns out, we will be happy. I know that as I prepare to enter the temple to receive my endowments, and then be sealed to my sweetheart, I will be blessed immensely. I love my life. I love this happiness. I love this gospel. I love it. In His Sacred Name, Amen.
