It is amazing to see the days left slowly going down and the upcoming June 9th getting so much closer. Forty-one days left until our ultimate goal. Just a little over one month. It is impossible to try to envision what is coming beyond that. Where will we be, and what will we be doing?
Yesterday since it was the fifth Sunday our bishop taught us. He asked this question, "What is the hardest thing you have to do?" I pondered for about one nano-second and knew how I would respond. I would have, didn't but would have said, "Living what I know."
I know so many things. I know about faith. I know about the resurrection. I know about hope and charity. I know about positive attitude. I know about Father's love of me. I know how I should be living, using the principles I know and hold dear.
But living what I know is so difficult. If I could live what I know, I guess I would be perfect, for I know about enduring to the end, I know about loving my neighbor. I know about service, I know about having a prayer in my heart constantly. I know that Father is aware of us and is in control. I know all these things, but then what about the sins that do so easily beset me? (That is quoting from the Psalm of Nephi.)
I guess this is just mortality, struggling with living what we know, but that is my ultimate goal, to live what I know so well, to live what the Spirit and my earthly parents as well as my Heavenly Parents have taught me. Oh that I could live what I already know to be true.
