Today, November 3, 2011, marks another year for my return home from my mission. I read the blog post I wrote a couple of years ago on this same day, and pretty much, not much has changed with me. That can't be a good thing. Tonight, I looked through my pictures from my mission and smiled and laughed at the memories that came flooding back into my mind as I was reminded of people, places, and experiences that were had. As we were united in our service to the Lord on Temple Square, I believe that forever bonds were made between us Sisters and senior couples. There is also a spiritual bond with the grounds of Temple Square itself. What a sacred place it is. I was able to visit SLC with mom during General Conference last month. As I spoke with the Sisters, I saw myself in them. That was me 7 years ago. Seeking, teaching, and fellowshipping with those who came to the Square. Testifying with boldness of what I knew to be true. Inviting others to come unto Christ or to share the Gospel with those they knew so that they might come unto Christ. So what about now?
Now, these days, I am finding myself being reflective of times passed...my adolescent and teenage years, my college days, my mission. My experiences during these times in my life molded me into who I am today...though that may not be saying much, LOL! There is happiness and joy to be found in remembrances of the past. But, fo' real tho', its time to make new memories. It's time to crack that mold of the past and to take on a new better form. In spirit, thought, word, and deed, its time to put on the mantle of greatness that the Lord has prepared for me from the beginning. And by the way, we, as children of God, have divinity within us. We ALL are meant for greatness! I don't know the answers as to how I am going to do this, but I will start one small step at a time making changes in my life. I will become more conscious of my spirit, thoughts, words, and deeds and make efforts to have a positive effect on those around me and emit positive energy into the universe. There is enough negativity going around, I don't need to add to that bucket. I will ask "what reaction might my action produce?"
I will admit, I have lost a bit of that spiritual fire and awareness I gained on my mission, but I hope to rekindle the fire and put myself in a place where the Lord can use and depend on me...where He can fully TRUST me. It's time for a revolution, it's time for a change. Metamorphosis begin!
