all of my life i have gone to church. i have sat through the lessons, said my prayers, and forgotten impressions that i felt so strongly about that day. since i have been to peru i have decided that i never want to forget. i don't want to forget my emotions or how i was feeling at a point in time even if it is embarrassing.
going to church we often have a lot of the same lessons repeat themselves (obviously we need to keep hearing them...probably because everyone else forgets those strong impressions too...who knows!). one of the lessons that always comes up is talking about people's gifts and talents. i won't lie-when it comes up initially i always feel inadequate, like i don't have any gifts or talents but by the end i know that i am worth more than i think. one gift i have always somewhat had is the ability to read people. i wouldn't say i am a professional or anything but i have always just been more in tune with other peoples' feelings and mannerisms (though i didn't notice this until my sister brought it up again recently). anyways, to make a long story short i will just say that i am grateful for this gift. sometimes i know i can be a drama queen but lately i had felt uneasy about signals i was getting from a friend and even though i thought i was being an emotional cry baby i felt the need to voice my feelings anyway and apparently it was some sort of personal revelation i had gotten. funny how things work out that way (even when we don't want them to).
i feel grateful for the gospel. grateful for my testimony. grateful for my Savior. grateful for my God.
