preparing for the future.

I love reading the LDS ensigns.

especially when you read a talk and you feel as if you needed to read it

and that it was for you at that time.

that is how i feel right now. I just read an article from the September 2011 Ensign 

called:
Preparing for the Future by:
Elder M Russell Ballard.

I would recommend reading it.

It touched my heart, and gave me the comfort and resurrance that I needed.

this article was for me at this time. it was an answer to prayers. 

I am on the right path and track of life.

I need to keep moving forward in faith and trusting in the Lord and following the commandments.

a few of the things that stood out to me in this article were the following:

• Going to Church is to give me guidance and direction.
• Find someone to become more active. 
• He challenged each one of us to look around and invite others to come unto Christ.
• Don't be afraid.
• Don't think you have to have everything in life lined up.
• Don't be afraid of Marriage.
• Pay tithing.
• Don't lose faith. Go forward with faith.
• fear is one of those principals that evil uses
• he wants us to question. and have doubts.
• If your living away from home stay close to your Mom's and Dads.
• the power of Communication.
• the use of technology phone calls, texts, emails, facebook, skpe, etc
• in this category I added stay close to your siblings as well. communicate with them.
• I'm on a great journey in Logan
• going to school 
• getting an education
• working
• paying my tithing
• attending institute, religion of life every Friday, IWA (lds sorority)
