Doubt Your Doubts Before You Doubt Your Faith

For the last couple of weeks, I have constantly heard the phrase from President Uchtdorf, "Doubt your doubts before you doubt your faith."

I have heard that phrase used in Sacrament and Relief Society and home teaching and just everywhere. I love that phrase so much and it recently struck me of how I really need to be doubting my doubts before I doubt my faith.

I recently got a huge answer about something that I have pondering about for the last couple of weeks and it honestly took a good two people for me to start thinking about it again. This time I honestly felt like it was the right thing to do.

Except for it honestly scared the complete crap out of me. I knew it was right. I was excited about it. Yet here I was nervous for what was going to come out of it.

I became nervous about what was going to happen down the road and not what was in front of me. I guess you could say that I am scared for how it isn't just gonna affect me but other people too.

It is crazy what happens when you finally get that answer and it comes unexpectedly. Mine came from a stake conference session that people told me that I was crazy to go to because I could've done better things with my time.

Honestly? I probably could have but man am I glad I went to stake conference last weekend.

Being scared of following a prompting is Satan's way of being like nope you shouldn't do this you know you are not worth it. I have come to realize that not following a prompting is not a good idea. I have had so many blessings in the worst times but following just the simple promptings.

Hello there I am totally worth it. I can't doubt my faith especially with how far I have come.

I am not going to lie when I say that I am excited and totally freaked out all at the same time. Hey lets be real you don't grow from the inside of your comfort zone. I have learned that a whole bunch since being here in Idaho!

I really have realized that I need to face my fears head on. How I am going to do that? No idea yet but only time will tell what happens.

As long as I have faith and trust in the Lord's plan for me, I should be good!

Until next time!
