Be Still, My Soul

When I first came back to the church I didn't have much of a testimony.

I relied on other people's testimonies to make mine grow at least a little bit. It wasn't really until the last couple of weeks until I have realized how much I love this gospel with every ounce of my body.

This temple is conveniently located down the street from my apartment. I got the chance to go inside on Friday and then I sat on the grounds tonight. It is life changing. I have been constantly praying to get over this terrible feeling that I have been having this week that has been affecting so much.

Tonight I decided to just go sit on the grounds and read my scriptures. I have never felt such a calm feeling from just sitting on grass. I started listening to the playlist of church music that I have on my iPod and Be Still, My Soul came on. I prayed right before the song came on I would feel better and get over this and immediately felt peace. Especially when at the beginning of the song when it says, "Be Still, My Soul: The Lord is on thy side"

I love this gospel. I am so grateful to be attending a university where I can be around people with the same beliefs as me. I know that Heavenly Father has a plan for me and loves me unconditionally. I am so grateful for that. 

The gospel brings so much joy into my life. It picks me up when I am down and it is a constant reminder that I need to constantly grow as the gospel is. The temple is something that I cannot wait to be married and sealed in.  I am thankful for the gospel and all it has done for me.

My testimony has grown so much in the last couple of years. I am thankful for every opportunity that I have had these last couple of years. I am so excited for what the future and it brings.
