As I've been watching this face to face I've been loving it more and more. I believe that they have really good advice and I'd highly encourage any of you to watch this! It's very inspirational and very uplifting. I hope ya'll enjoy! :)
One of my favorite quotes from this face to face so far has been from the guy sitting to the right hand of Jeffrey R. Holland. It was "Establish a life of Faith, Establish a life where you feel a relationship with God the Father." I feel like in General Conference talks they always say establish a life where you have a relationship with God the Father. It's such a small difference that hardly anyone would notice. And I didn't notice it until he said it. I feel like there's so much more of a difference where you try to have a relationship or where you're trying to force yourself to have a relationship and whether you feel it or not. I know I always try to force myself. For what felt like a good long time I felt like at one point in my life I had a good relationship with God. I don't think I've realized it until now but it's been my own personal efforts that's been making the big difference. I've been pushing myself away. I've been pushing myself away from God. And when I finally realized that I was heartbroken. I wanted to get back on the path but I didn't know how. My heart wasn't into it and my mind didn't know what to do. What I now realize is that it doesn't matter if you're "just not feeling it" or "you feel like you can't do it". The feeling comes latter. The action comes now. You choose what to do. You choose what choices you make. The choices that you make become better the closer you are to Heavenly Father. I'm not saying that the closer you are to Heavenly Father the more handy dandy your life is going to get, I'm just saying that the closer that you are to your Heavenly Father your life is going to be a lot smoother and a lot better than if you weren't on the path to happiness. Anyways, that's just what I got out of this little smigt of it so far. And that's not even watching the whole thing. Imagine what it'd be like if you'd watch the whole thing! OO Pretty crazy! Like I said, I highly encourage you to watch
