thoughts and feelings

There is something refreshing about attending the Temple. I don't do it often enough and I think that's my problem. There is inspiration and peace felt there that can't be found anywhere else, and how easily I forget that. I have just graduated from college after being in school pretty much my whole life. I have a lot of time on my hands right now as I wait for my license. When I don't have something to focus on or keep me busy it makes me worry, but perhaps it is a good thing for me to take a break from the fast paced world around me and think about where I go now in this new chapter of my life. I have always looked ahead, into my future and what I expect to happen, but I hardly enjoy the moment and where I am right now. I need take each day for all of its worth and be happy about where I am because after all its not only about the destination but the journey that takes us there. You can't just say "When this [event] happens, then I will be happy" because chances are when you get there you will only be looking towards the next thing. Wherever I go and wherever I end up, there will always be one constant, the Gospel, but only if I make it my top priority. All that I have been blessed with and everything I have overcome is in credit to my Heavenly Father, who wouldn't let me give up but gave me the strength to get through it. People say you find yourself nearer to God when in distress, because that is when you need him, but I want to be near to him in my happiest moment too. 

 

There is something refreshing about attending the temple, you come out with a clearer view of who you are and what is most important.
