My path to self discovery has been marked by many experiences that helped shape the woman before you today. At an early age I gravitated to the things of God and I wanted to sincerely know the purpose for which I was born. I don't believe we are made to only exist and live for the moment. God instilled in me a faith that I cannot deny that everything around us is a testament of Him and His desire for us is to be happy. I feel it, I see it, I know it. He is always there even when I have turned away from him.
I have always been concerned about what legacy will I leave behind. What message am I leaving in my path? I hold high expectations for myself and struggle with my imperfections. I have made mistakes that have cost me the vain reputation of the world, but the good has far outweighed those in the eyes of God, at least I hope. God knows I try to be a decent soul and he knows my heart, and that is all that matters.
In April I resolved to take a more deliberate approach in studying the Word of God. It was at the commencement of this undertaking that I felt prompted to begin this blog. I have for the most part been a private person in my interaction with others except for family and very few close friends. So why on earth would I put my self out there in this way???? I am not one who enjoys attracting attention to myself, I am not the greatest orator, and consider myself an introvert in many aspects, but writing has opened a door to a side of me that I have a hard time letting out when I am face to face with others. My desire to help others is more important than my personal comfort. This is me letting people in on a massive scale. What I share may not be taken well by some because there is some sharpness in my writing, but that sharpness is also followed by love and hope. I care about you! Yes, YOU...the person reading this. I may not know you personally but something has guided you here whether it be curiosity or need.
I sometimes feel like Isaiah when the Lord told him, "...go and tell this people -- Hear ye indeed, but they understood not; and see ye indeed, but they perceived not." (2 Nephi 16:10). I somewhat grasp the difficulty of my assignment, and pray in my heart that my words and my message will reach those who need it most. Heavenly Father has promised me that so long as I live as an example and apply faith to what I do, my talents and potential for good will grow far beyond what would otherwise happen. I know this to be true because it is confirmed to me when I write. I know I'm being guided in what I have set out to do here and that is to bring the message of the glory of the Gospel of Christ working miracles in my life, and others can enjoy the same. I am beyond grateful to my Father for using me as an instrument to reach others. I hope this partnership continues and we can bless many souls in helping them find purpose and balance in the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of their lives.
