act in all diligence and preparation brings blessings....trust. change. path.
act in all diligence:
i tend to find words. like, a word for a certain time and then always see that word when i study or listen. this talk had 2 of them, an old and ever on-going one and a newly realized.
1. nature. 'be a force of nature'. my favorite quote maybe."the holy ghost [can] reveal to you the nature of God". and "he nature had been changed".
i love the idea that not only are we to be powerful. but that if we are open to it, we can really see gods power. know for ourselves. then work to become like him. to be a force of nature, but directed in the lords way.
2. trust. i thought earlier last week how we are to TRUST the lord. and just what that word means. to REALLY have a close and safe and open relationship.
it really struck me today that he mentions twice that "he calls us and trusts us", "heavenly father has great trust and confidence in you."
really? me? ...why? but it is really making me think twice about if i let him down or honor his name more often.
okay also. i had a really 'duuuh.....football' moment.
"we are to learn our duty from the lord". i was like, great, thats such a tough thing to do.
WHAT? i am dumb. next paragraph.
"remember him...he called us. he goes before us". but it really clicked.
god doesn't want us to know about christ just because he is cool. he doesn't want us to study the scriptures. pray to him. all that jazz so that we can feel happy while doing our own thing.
WE DON'T HAVE OUR OWN THING. All of that is for OUR path. our path IS gods. they are supposed to be the SAME!
i feel like i, and so many others, spend so much of their time trying to find whats the right path for 'them'. here is our answer.
preparation brings blessings:
i pretty much just thought this talk was like an awesome set of reminders and personal check list to remind us what the lord does expect.

The divine call of a missionary & the magnificent aaronic priesthood...worthy, ready and wielding.
You face your challenges with extraordinary strength and courage. I express my love to you and the confidence I have in you.
You inspire the people around you more than you can imagine."
2 things from this article that hit me.
1. family = most important calling. i know it is super important for me to live this way of course. but i kept feeling really impressed about people i date or marry one day. like. this is something to REALLY look for in a man. and not just an act or they do an okay job. but truly adore the idea and practice of loving the family unit.
2. one of my very favorite quotes of all time is 'BE A FORCE OF NATURE'. and yes. i did hear it from an episode of grey's anatomy. but i LOVED that elder beck said twice 'BE A FORCE FOR GOOD'
we have real tangible power to yield through the Lords help. in NO way at all can we be passive bystanders.

The Rock of our redeemer...thank you for not being quicksand.
Some who at this very moment feel desperate or discouraged may wonder how they can possibly regain hope. If you are one of those, remember that hope comes as a result of faith. If we would build our hope, we must build our faith.
