Plan of Salvation like a III Act Play!!

Gods Plan of Happiness is like a three act play. We however are in act II(Earth Life) and do not remember what happened in act I.(Pre-Earth Life) So we have to learn all we can about act I so we know about act II. The more we know about act I and what happened there the more we will understand about act II and why its the way it is.  However we do know a little bit about act I  We know that in act I we lived with god as his spirit children. He loved us he got to know us and wants everyone to return to him. When we left act I we passed through what we call a vail. It is very thin but makes it so that we do not remember what happened. If we knew what happend then there would be no point to this life and we would already know everything. God wanted us to walk by faith and to learn and grow from our own mistakes and to choose for oursleves.  Once we know all about act I and act II then when we learn about act III it will make perfect sense to us. Because we will have the whole picture and know what expects of us.

I am an Inkeeper

When i was growing up i had this quote that hung on my bedroom door. It read "Each of us is an Inkeeper who decides if there is room for Jesus." I love this qoute because it reminds me to let Christ into my life. Chirst was born for us! He was here on the earth to show us the way, to be that example. He was sent here to be our lord and savior. He atoned for the sins of the world. If it were not for Christ we could not return to live with our Father in Heaven. We are those inkeepers! When christ comes knocking at our door and needs a place to rest will we let him in? I know i would! Christ is there and is waiting for us to let him in our lives. So remember this christmas season and always, his birth, and his life.  Remember what he has done for you. Make him a part of your life!

Faith

What is Faith? To me faith is trusting in god completley and letting him take over even though I do not know exactly what will happen. I now know that god knows what is best for me and that if I just have faith in him all will be okay. I didn't always have so much faith in god. There was a time in my life where I wasn't really sure if god was there and that he was answering my prayers. Times where I didn't always feel his love. There were times where I didn't fully rely on god. Instead i went to the world, went to my friends and didn't care. I didn't go to those who truly loved me. I look back and think that is not the way to go. We must turn to god!! and let him help us. He is the only one that knows us in and out. He knows exactly what we are going through, how we feel, and only he can help us, if we have the faith and trust in him. Ever since I have been here my mission, I can say that my faith has strengthed so much. I feel gods love more, He answers my prayers, he comforts me in times of need. I know that everthing will be okay. I love my father in Heaven.and my brother Jesus Christ! I know they love me and want to help me. I also now that just because we go through hard times does not mean that god hates us or does not care about us or purposly wants us to be unhappy. He know what things will tear us down to then only build us up, to make us stronger than before. We only see a little bit of what god sees. It is a blur to us. God sees the WHOLE picture, but when we have that faith and trust in him than the blur will gradually become clear to us.  Have faith in him!! let him help you!

Stand in Holy Places!!

In a sea of shifting values
tossed on every wave
while the winds wail around me
i will not be afraid
to call out for captain
to calm the waves in me
when i stand a little taller
it's only then i finally see
i stand in holy places
protected from the storm
anchored safe in harbor
though my sails are ripped and worn
i stand in holy places
and i will not move
until the captain comes and says well done
he is the hope i hold on to
in holy places


there is a harbor in his holy house
an anchor in his grace
that steadies in the waves of doubt
and in every holy place
no matter where i travel
his spirit's guiding me
with the lord as my captain
there is a peaceful port in me
i stand in holy places
protected from the storm
anchored safe in harbor
though my sails are ripped and worn
i stand in holy places
and i will not move
until the lord has come and says well done
he is the hope i hold on to


i stand in holy places
protected from the storm
anchored safe in harbor
though my sails are ripped and worn
i stand in holy places
and will not move
until the lord has come and says well done
he is the hope i hold on to
in holy places

Listen to me?

If you let me, I will make you perfect. The moment you put yourself in my hands, that is what you are in for. Nothing less, or other than that. You have free will, and if you choose, you can push my away. But if you do not push me away, understand that i am going to see this job through...whatever it costs me, i will never rest, nor let you rest until you are literally perfect..until my father can say without reservation that he is well pleased with you, as he said he was well pleased with me. This i can do and will do. But i will not do anything else.

This was taken from a quote from C.S. Lewis. I found it stuck into my scriptures yesterday and i really like it. I hope that one day i can be like my father in heaven and be perfect. Have him say to me that he is well pleased with me. I know that my savior lives. I know that because of him i can return and live with them again. I can be with those i love and the ones that i have lost. I miss them all so much, but i know that i can be with them again someday. Again i hope the lord can be well pleased with me.

Fall

I love month of october because I love to watch as the leaves on the trrees change colors, I love crunching leaves as walk, I love the cool breeze I feel when I walk. I remember one experience i had about a year ago I went on a motorcycle ride up through the canyon and I just remember thinking and seeing how beautiful the trees were and I remember feeling the breeze blow in my face and i just felt such peace and that i did not have to worry about anything other then enjoying the ride seeing gods creations in front of me. I love this time of year as the summer transitions into winter. It is the best!! I can't wait to see these changes here in Montana. I have seen some trees so far and I look forward to seeing even more!! I love you montana and I am so happy to be here serving in "God's Country" fall and october is my favortite time of the year.

Forget me not!
