So friends!!! It's that time again....transfers!! I am leaving Huntsville after serving here for 3 months! It's always a little sad to leave the lovely people I meet but I am always really excited for change and new experiences!!!!!
I've reflected on the past 6 weeks, read study notes and journal entries, and wow!!! God teachs us soooo much!
I want to share a few precious nuggets of truth I've learned:
- balance-working hard vs. not doing more than you have strength (Mosiah 4:27)
- moderation-in eating (Christlike attribute of self discipline)
- grace-divine means of help or strength (2 Nephi 2:8)
- pray for strength to endure challenges, not change situations (1 Nephi 7:17, Mosiah 24:14-15)
- humility-I am nothing without the Lord (Mosiah 4:11-12)
- patience-with myself and others. we all have weakness. let go of the small things. (Mosiah 23:21)
- daily repentance-reviewing how I did each day. how can I improve tomorrow?
- leadership and sacrifice-putting others needs before my own. giving selflessly.
- family-how to have a successful one, aka with the gospel!
- perfectionism-there is only one Savior. I'm not Him. It's a process. "Lengthen your stride but don't split your crotch!"
So that's my 6 week mirror! The scripture references are all from The Book of Mormon, you can find them on lds.org! I'm thankful to be out here learning and stretching and growing! Life is all about progress!! Love you all! Thanks for everything you continue to teach me!
