s week, but now life is looking good :) I don't really like who I was at the beginning of this week, but I am grateful for the lessons that I learned in the process of getting over all of that.
I learned two major things:
1) happiness is a choice
2) that choice is only possible because of Jesus Christ
If
you have read all of my posts you will notice that those are things I
have claimed to learn before. Something else that I have learned from my
mission is that life is a cycle. We literally learn the same lessons
over and over again. Sometimes it's the same exact thing that we just
can't get, so our Father in Heaven mercifully gives us more
opportunities to get it right, and sometimes we are just prepared to
learn a new part of that lesson. I feel like I have experienced both of
those circumstances this week.
Whatever
life throws at you, just remember to keep moving forward. When you are
doing a good thing you will inevitably receive just as strong of forces
trying to push you backwards. Never forget though the strength of who is
behind you. Do the Lord's work: serve others, love, forget about
yourself, and be happy. The adversary will put untrue things in your
head, roadblocks in your path and do anything he can to keep you from
spreading good. In those moments, rely on Jesus Christ. He wants more
than anything for you to succeed and if you do your part, just your
small part to look to Him, you will receive Heavens help in your life
and see miracles! This is the greatest battle we will ever fight, the
battle for our own happiness, and with Jesus Christ we will always win.
I love you all, have a wonderful week! And just keep smiling!
