But for me, that's okay.
For the last nine months, this blog (yes, you can call it a blog, but please don't call me a blogger) has been a place to write down my thoughts and feelings. I've shared aspects of my life that have helped me go through what I've been through. No, I'm not sharing what I have learned as if I'm some sort of perfect person, because I'm not, nor do I think I am. There are things that one learns through trials that he/she needs to share.
I've wanted to do something like this blog for quite some time, and I know that it something I needed to do. I hope that those of you reading this have benefitted in some way. I hope that I've reached hearts, helped lives, and given people some insight on what really matters in life! If there is just one thing I've learned from the past almost four years, it's that the best thing you can do in life is reach toward the Savior. I definitely see Him as my best friend. When I'm sad, I reach out to Him. He's there. When I'm happy, I reach out to Him. I pray to my Heavenly Father in the name of Christ of how grateful I am for the things I've been given, the life I've been able to live, and the joy I've been able to experience. Once again, here's my favorite picture of the Savior.
I've grown a TON in the last ten months. At that time, I was getting ready for surgery yet again, wondering why the cancer had come back and why I had to face this again. I firmly believe that Heavenly Father has the power that could cause me to be cancer free- forever. I know that He allowed this trial in my life again because He knew that ultimately I could benefit from it. I've become a better person, a responsible adult, and I have so much more of a love for life and for the gospel. (In fact, I'm looking into a career in Speech Pathology. I wouldn't have even thought of this career if I did not have surgery and teeth removal, leading to the help of a speech therapist.)
I want you, reader, to know that I have a testimony of the gospel. I know that Heavenly Father is a loving God and father, and He wants us to return to Him someday as individuals greater than we could ever be in the Pre-Mortal life. I know that Jesus Christ is our Savior. He suffered not only for our sins, but for our pains, sufferings, and every time we feel hurt or alone. I'm grateful to be surrounded by amazing family, great friends, and good examples. I've been in a place where I was not close to the gospel, and I can promise you that although it might be a little work to read your scriptures and pray every day, it makes life SO much better. A life without the gospel is a life needing a new direction!
I hope that you have benefitted from this blog, and I hope to continue writing on it as long as I see fit. Thanks for reading my thoughts.
Keep running!
