8 October 2016

It is OCTOBER. I am so excited. I absolutely love October and anything and everything that comes with it - the air is crisp in the morning and just barely cold, and the leaves are changing colors and falling down. It is so beautiful in Provo, and it reminds me of God's love for his children. 

Along those same lines, my scripture this week is found in 2 Nephi 26:33. I chose this scripture because of the feeling of comfort it gives me in times of hardship. I have been falling behind on reading for my classes of late, and I stress out a lot about staying caught up and getting my grades up. This scripture (along with the beautiful weather!!!) reminds me that God has a plan for me, and that everything will be all right. 

33 For none of these iniquities come of the Lord; for he doeth that which is good among the children of men; and he doeth nothing save it be plain unto the children of men; and he inviteth them all to come unto him and partake of his goodness; and he denieth none that come unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female; and he remembereth the heathen; and all are alike unto God, both Jew and Gentile.

I have found so much peace as I have come unto the Lord in all of my trials. I am able to leave all of my fear and anxiety in his hands and have faith, and everything does work out in the end, even when it seems like your whole life is crashing down around you. I know all of us can feel this same peace and calm when we come unto the Lord with a meek and humble spirit, with a desire to become like him. 

I leave my testimony with you,
