LoVe iT!!

This may not be my typical blog posting. It could possibly be so boring to some people and mean absolutely nothing at all. However, I'm writing about something that is extremely important to me. In fact, it's the most important thing in my life.
I feel like I've never had a hard time gaining a testimony of the Gospel. It has always been something that has been there for me and I never once doubted it. I always knew it was true, and I always knew it was right. I feel like as I got older and started to build my testimony it never wavered, it only got stronger. I was so blessed in the fact that I was never without the gospel. It's always been there.
This last year away from home has been a difficult one. Not that I would trade it, because I wouldn't, it's been absolutely amazing. I've just realized a lot about myself, and how important the Gospel really is in my life. Like I said before not once have I doubted, but I have struggled. I struggle in the fact that I know I'm weak, but I know God is strong and that sometimes he asks a lot from a weak person. Sometimes I feel like the task at hand is much to great for someone like me to handle, but then I get the answer that the Lord is there, holding my hand the whole way.
I'm so very grateful for prayer. Life is hard. Sometimes its hard to walk the road less traveled and it seems so easy to just chill out, but it's at those times when I pray, I get answers that are amazing and I know I'm ok if I just keep going. The best feeling in the world is the one I get when I'm on my knees! I know that prayers are answered and I'm so thankful I can pray and receive answers whenever I need it!
I love the scriptures. I think the saying "When you want to talk to God you pray. When you want him to talk to you, read your scriptures!" is so true!! I've found so many answers to so many questions. I love them, I know they're true. There isn't a doubt in my mind that they are 100% correct and have the answers I need in them.
I'm so grateful for the gospel in my life and I'm putting my future in Gods hands. When my life is over I want to be able to kneel at the Savior's feet and hear him say, "well done"when he sees who I've become. He knows all of my fears and all that I have to learn but he also can see the person I'll be when faithfully I return to him. I love the gospel... I don't want people to wonder where I stand. So here it is, plain and simple. It's my life, and it's always going to be!
