Why he journaled

January 28, 2017     That's all for my journaling tonight! Glad I'm doing this, I don't want these insights to be forgotten. Especially because these insights and these feelings I've felt are SO real, and there is no way I can deny the truthfulness of the gospel the Savior, everything about the gospel. Goodnight, journal. SOO glad I'm writing down my thoughts. :)                                                   

February 6, 2017     When we went to the hospital today, I just had a strong feeling (like I did months ago) that I need to finish catching up my journal- and soon. So I worked on my journal some more tonight. I'm catching up slowly... about at the end of August now... and also grateful that I'm currently writing. These current ones I'm writing in my phone and I'll add in once I finally get my journal all the way caught up. But yeah, I feel like my journal is my #1 priority now. Dad gave me a blessing tonight. Just that I could he comforted, that we DO have the faith to be healed if it's God's will, that we also know God's will is best. I felt a peaceful feeling from it and feel that I'm gonna be okay. :D also, to not worry about the family when my time to pass comes. They'll be okay. :) God is in charge. Goodnight journal, that's all for tonight.

 

(Erik’s family helped him accomplish his goal of finishing his journal on February 9th at 8:30pm. He celebrated with ice cream, of course.  He passed away early the next morning.)
