*Summer was having computer issues
this week so she asked that I share on her blog her spiritual thought to me.
Here is my spiritual thought to you Mom…..
This week, a general authority came to speak to all of the
missionaries in this mission. His name is Elder Johnson. He talked to all of
the missionaries about a section in the Bible in 1 Corinthians 12: 12-21. He
talked a lot about how each part of the body are important and how without one
part of the body, something else would fail. He related that to us and that
each one of us is important, not only in this mission but in the church. We
each have a special part that needs to be fulfilled. The only one that can do
your specific job is you he said. Although that is a nice thought, we will never
fully understand our function and the capacity of what we can do until we
understand completely who we are.
Elder Johnson continued to say that we need to understand what it really means to be a daughter (or son) of God. Once we understand this, we will understand what it means to align our will with His will. I told you a few weeks ago while talking about this same topic, that once we really learn how to accomplish that, life will become so much easier.
That is something that I would like to work on. I want to better understand what it means to be a daughter of God.

President Uchtdorf said, "He (God) wants you to achieve
your destiny-- to return to you Heavenly home in honor....It is my prayer that
you will experience a renewed and an expanded measure of the beautiful love of
God in your lives, that you will find the faith, determination, and commitment
to learn God's commandments, treasure them in your hearts, and live the gospel
joyfully. I promise that as you do so, you will discover your best self----
your real self. You will discover what it truly means to be a daughter of the
everlasting God, the Lord of all righteousness."
I love it! This is my new goal!
