The time has come at last!
Hello everyone
This is the final pday in the CCM. I fly to Texas this coming Monday! WhooHoo! I cant believe it has been six weeks already, but then again it was forever ago since I arrived. I dont remember really getting here. But no matter, we dont and cannot walk backwards. We move onward. good thing too, because Im just itching to do nothing but teach all day. Granted, being here is very necessary, but I am ready, and even then, none of us are really ever ready for anything. but that is the purpose of us being here on the earth, to learn and grow and progress toward our ultimate goal. We may never be ready completely, but we can be always prepared. For a trial, for a test, a great load to be placed, and even for the Second Coming of Christ. We only know how to prepare because of what we learn from past experience. This is the beauty and precious reason why we all chose to come to this earth.
D&C 6:34, 36-37
"Fear not, little flock; do good; let earth and hell combine against you, for if ye are built upon my rock, they cannot prevail.
Look unto me in every thought, doubt not, fear not.
..be faithful, keeping my commandments, and ye shall inherit the kingdom of heaven."
This is true. There will always be an opposition of sorts to all our choices. But if the choice is good, and blessings are promised from God, and we read that it will bless us, then why would we hesitate, and fear the repercussions of something so wonderfully promised? This promise is predicated upon two simple things-Be Faithful, and keep His commandments. Let us press forward against the ever changing things of the world-for the ways of the world will never be the ways of God. If we do these things, we shall always find rest in Christ and His church which has been restored to the earth, but is based in heaven, and has not come from anywhere else.
Next week I shall be writing from Texas finally. Until then!
