Some of My Testimony

I was reading the scriptures tonight and pondering some things and I just feel the desire to share part of my testimony. Doing so is kind of scary, but I love sharing what I know to be true (thus, why I have this blog).

I know God is real. Lately He's been reminding me that He is the one in control. I foolishly forget that at times. He has a plan for each one of us. And He will be there to help us and strengthen us throughout our lives. We are not alone.

I am the first to admit I am not the smartest person. I am not a scriptorian by any means. I know I still have a lot to learn in the scriptures. But I know the amazing feeling I feel when I sincerely and humbly read them. I know that the scriptures are the word of God.

I know Jesus Christ is our Savior. He took upon Him our sins, pains, sicknesses, etc. I know I don't even comprehend the smallest part of what He went through. But, I am so thankful He was willing to do that. Lately I've been thinking about when He was in the Garden of Gethsemane and said, "Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done." (Luke 22:42.) What an amazing, humble man. He set a perfect example. I think of this as in my life I am trying to get to the point where I can fully, truly say, "nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done." That is hard. It is so hard when Heavenly Father's will is not to remove the cup from us. But our Savior was able to do that.

I know we have a Father in Heaven. God is real. I don't understand how anyone can not believe in God. Our very lives - our being on this earth - is evidence there is a God.

This is part of my testimony for now. I hope that by sharing what I know to be true I may help others feel the Spirit in their lives and reflect on their own knowledge and testimony.

If you want to know more of what I believe, don't hesitate to ask me. I love sharing my beliefs! :)
