What a spiritual day it had been

Sundays are amazing days! Today was an amazing day at church I love going to church and listening to everyone's comments on what the lessons are on. Today in Relief Society we had a lesson on how important the scriptures are in our lives. This lesson really hit me because for me I find myself just doing the actions of reading not diving in and really reading the scriptures. I really want to become better at reading my scriptures and this is a goal that I want to have and it is a habit that I want to have in my life. After going to church today I had the most amazing opportunity to go and hear my older sister Kim give a talk in her ward. She did an amazing job! I love seeing my siblings speak because it makes me so happy to see how my family loves the gospel. One of my favorite things that I loved was before the started the talks the bishop had us sing How Firm a Foundation. This is my favorite song. It always gives me goosebumps we got to sing the seventh verse which happens to be one of my favorite verses in that song with also 3 and 5. It states: 3. Fear not, I am with thee; oh, be not dismayed, For I am thy God and will still give thee aid. I’ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand, Upheld by my righteous, upheld by my righteous, Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand. 5. When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie, My grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply. The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design Thy dross to consume, thy dross to consume, Thy dross to consume and thy gold to refine. 7. The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose I will not, I cannot, desert to his foes; That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake, I’ll never, no never, I’ll never, no never, I’ll never, no never, no never forsake! I really like these verses because they help me with the hard times that I have. The 3rd verse is one that goes through my head when I am scared with what is going to happen. Fear not I am with thee, Heavenly Father is always with me I don't have any reason to fear because I have the all might God on my side. I will help me through everything that I have to go through. In verse 5 this is when it talks about trials and how Heavenly Father comes and protects us through the hard parts of life. We can get though anything with the Lord is on our side. Then, the last verse it talks about how He will never leave us. It also to me talks about how no matter what happens and what trial I will never forsake him. I need to strive to be the best that I can be to never forsake my Lord my God. I am grateful that the bishop of my sisters ward was inspired to get up and have us sing this song. It was something that I really needed to hear at this moment in my life. Heavenly Father puts people in our paths to help us get answers to our prayers. It is amazing how it works. I am so grateful that I had this experience and was able to here this song. After that experience I came back to my apartment and my roommates and I had dinner together. It was a nice dinner I love doing things like this with the roommates. I love my roommates we are always trying to do something fun together. It was a good ending to an amazing day. I love being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This church is true. I love it with all of my heart and I am striving to return to my Heavenly Father so I can live with my family and so I can get to meet my sister who died before before any of my family got to meet her. I can't wait for that reunion to take place up there when we all go through the veil. What a great day it will be. This is all that I will say for today. Don't forget Life is Good!
