As I muddle through crazy things, fight gobliins, try to correct incorrect things of others, I get frustrated and burdened as the fluff of the day descends upon my head and tries to smother me. The joy from Tuesday night as we talked to our bishop making our mission more and more real seems to have flown away on the moon rays that disappear.
The bishop said as we sat with him that now we are close to doing the things that need to be done to serve, expect Satan's influence. He does not want us to go on a mission. The bishop said that we would be touching many people's lives, especially those missionaries who are lonely, far from home, in need of someone to teach them, love them and support them. We would be influencing many, many people.
It was exciting as we talked with him then the daily mundane events of every day surround us and it takes much mental exercise to rid ourselves of those things and reinsert those statements into our mind. He said that we would be battling the ugly part of life, the negative side of live, associates presenting to us reasons to be depressed trying to eliminate the joys of missions, the peace of serving Father, etc.
I am the master of my destiny. I am the controller of my thoughts and feelings. I am the creater of my visions and dreams. I have the power and ability to draw Father into my life daily, and even ever hour. If I do not make myself aware of the adversary, his evil influences, he can destroy the joys we are feeling, the dreams we have, and the positive nature of our thoughts.
I have seen it, experienced it, seen it in others which tries to get me to be a believer in the uglies of life. But I am stronger than that. I can, will choose my thoughts, my goals, and even new dreams to work toward.
It is such a joy to know that Father will destroy the evil one. It gives such peace to know that he will lose this battle and will be cast out. It is happiness to know that we are on His side and will be victorious. We are all enlisted til the conflict is over. Happy are we. Rejoice the Lord is King. SO many songs can enter my mind with the positive outlook of the life we live.
