#BecauseHeLives

Do you know that feeling when you just think everything is fine, you don't have to worry and you tell yourself: 'I am so happy! Life is good. I'm doing great!' And then this feeling becomes pride and slowly you just forget little by little whom to thank for you good life? Well hello me.

But thankfully, God loves us and He knows how to get us back on track.

Just as I was about to realise how little I included my Heavenly Father in my daily life, trials where already on its way. And though I might not understand them, or wholeheartedly welcome them, I do appreciate them. The good thing about trials though is, that we do not have to face them alone. So just as I received bad news about my path of education, I also felt inspired to check out LDS.org. And because it's Easter, there was another video about the Saviors Atonement. Which made me cry. It made me realise, that yes, everything is fine, aslong as I rely on Jesus Christ. I realised, I am happy, because I know who I am, I know my worth. I realised, life is good, because He who took upon Him all of our troubles, sorrows and sins, has given me life.

As one of my favourite characters of the Mortal Instruments Series once said: "Therefore you can never loses hope, because if you keep hope alive, it will keep you alive."



Life is good, #BecauseHeLives !

Pitfalls of an RM: Consistency

So, not that I think I have a lot of readers out there, but to all those who were wondering where I have been these last weeks, well what can I say. I've been trapped in an "oh, I don't have time for this right now"-attitude. Old Sister Nemec would've said: "If you don't have time to read your scriptures every day you are busier than God ever intended you to be." And as all my investigators know, I would've committed them to get their act together and start studying again.

So here I am, just home for 6 months and I already get really inconsistent with studying the Gospel. You leave one day out, then another one and then all of the sudden you find yourself starting with "I, Nephi, having been born of goodly parents..".

So I guess what I am going to do is to follow the councel of missionary-me, get my act together and start reading consistantly again.
