Sundays

For a long while now, years, I have had an interesting relationship with church. There was a time that I was about 15 when I absolutely disliked going to church. One day, a year or so later, I decided to listen. i really paid attention to what the speakers and teachers were saying. I started to read the Book of Mormon again. I had tried and failed many times. This time was different though. I actually did it. It took more than a year, but I did it and I was SO proud of myself. It took 3 years to actually finish it from cover to cover.

Since I consciously decided that I would try to be better, I have had times that I haven't really wanted to go to church, but I knew it was important so I did it. Some months are better than others, but I am okay with that. I am trying, and that is the only thing that I can be perfect at.

Today was dynamite. Church was so awesome, and it was a Sunday that I am so glad that I went to church. It made me so grateful for being a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I relearned that no matter what other people say, I am a Daughter of God and I am important. I matter to him, and I will never be able to comprehend how much he loves and values me.

Sunday's are a type of harbor for me. They are the day when I don't have to worry about the not so great aspects of my life, I get to ficus on improving myself and pondering things that sometimes get pushed to the back burner during the week. Today I decided to watch quite a few Mormon Messages, and I have been uplifted. One that has been my favorite since it came out is called Our True Identity by Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Here it is:
Our True Identity .

It is a reminder that our Heavenly Father loves us, and that we are worth so much more than we can ever even know. And it may take a while for us to realize that, but when we do it changes us for the better. This is the one that I turn to when I am feeling down, and I need a reminder that I am a swan. I went through times that I wasn't sure who I was, but now I have started to figure it out.

This whole sharing my beliefs on social media is something that is new to me. I don't want to seem pushy or anything, but we have been informed that this is the most influential way to spread the gospel, so I'm giving it a valiant attempt. So here it is, by view of Sundays and what I was reminded it for myself today.
