I'm back

So, it's been a while since I've posted. Not very good at this, yet. But here I go again.

Here are some things that I have experienced from the past couple weeks and how the Lord has blessed me through his infinite and powerful atonement:

Here's a url to online scriptures if you would like to read them in context: http://www.lds.org/scriptures?lang=eng

2 Corinthians 12:9-10 : The Lord shall visit us in our afflictions, there Paul takes pleasure in trials because he can draw nearer to the Lord Jesus Christ. We can draw nearer to Christ in these times and our weak moments will become strengths. (See Ether 12:27)

Mosiah 24:14 : The Lord made the burden's of Alma's people bearable. So has He with mine. His hands are in all things and has certainly blessed me.

Doctrine and Covenants 122:7-8 - All of our experiences shall be for our good. Christ has descended far below what I could ever experience. He can succor, support and raise me up in my afflictions. (See Alma 7:11-12)

Carmody's death has turned my world upside down and inside out, and yet the Gospel of Jesus Christ holds me together. His comforter has been ever present with me and that's the only reason I can make it from day to day. It gives me strength and energy and just enough for me to make it to the next day. It's like a spotter in weight lifting. You help them just enough to help them bring the weights back to the top. If you help too much, they won't get as much benefit from it. Yeah, it's harder. Yeah, it's not fun sometimes. But in the end, the results are so much more stronger and helpful. I've seen those blessings in my life over the past month and I've been trying to serve God and my fellow man so that they can benefit from what I am learning and going through. The more I help people, the closer I feel to the Spirit and the kind of joy that I received on my mission. It's all I've got going for me right now.
