I haven't written in a while. It's because up until a few days ago, I had stopped being deliberate in giving something to Christ everyday. I had reached a point where I needed to find my center again, and I think I've started to find myself again.
Today, I took time to really try to listen to my Heavenly Father about what I need to do to follow the plan that He has for me. I learned a lot of good things--funny enough, that happens when you talk to the omnipotent, omniscient ruler of the universe--and I'm excited to see what the future will bring. Here are some of the things that came to me as I pondered and tried to listen:
1) As a part of having an active desire to draw closer to Heavenly Father, there are times when I will choose my own projects/path and He will bless and sanctify my efforts; a part of growing closer to Him is learning to think for myself and use my agency proactively.
2) I need to study the Gospel more often and on a deeper level; if I can't remember what I learned from the scriptures a few days ago, then I didn't partake deeply enough of the word of God.
3) Listen, hear, obey; this is the process I need to focus on in learning to understand the Spirit of God.
4) I need to take more accountability for my actions and have more compassion on others as they learn.
5) I love to write, but when I write, I need to be very careful that my number one desire and focus is to build the kingdom of God with what I create.
There were more things that I learned, but these are some. I hope to draw closer to my Heavenly Father as the days pass, and to become more like the person I want to be for Him and my Savior.
