Modern Day Revelation

Wow! I got back online right before jumping into bed with the intention of quickly jotting down some things that have been on my mind lately...in the process I came across some horrible news about a family friend being shot and killed. I don't remember exactly what I wanted to share now...wow is about all that comes to mind!
Just last weekend I was blessed to be able to attend a YSA Fireside presided by Elder Neil L Andersen, an apostle of Jesus Christ! Throughout my life I've been blessed to be in the same room with many apostles, but the excitement and joy never lessens! The strength and spirit they share cannot be replicated, I'm so grateful for the knowledge I have of the restored gospel and modern day revelation. Thinking of the Sannar family, and all those that mourn the loss of a loved one, I can't help but think of the joy and relief that comes through the understanding of the our Father in Heaven's Plan of Happiness. We all will have the opportunity to see those who have died. This life is not the end, neither is it the beginning. We are much more than mortal bodies, we each are a beloved spirit son or daughter of loving heavenly parents. God is our father and his love is eternal, as are our spirits. I'm so grateful for the knowledge that I have the opportunity to someday return to Heavenly Father and live with my family forever!
As we approach fall...specifically October I can't help but get excited to listen to and learn from the Prophet, Apostles and all other General Authorities of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints! To prepare myself for the teachings they will share I started re-reading the conference talks from April 2010 and re-reading the Book of Mormon. It amazes me how much love and concern is expressed in both! God has given us modern day revelation to express his love for us, his children, and to show us the way to true and lasting joy. How grateful I truely am!

time keeps on ticking...

It's been several months and an update is LONG overdue! There really aren't too many updates on my life really, mostly just thoughts I've been pondering :) I'm still working at Wells Fargo and loving it! Sure we get busy and sometimes I count the time until we close the doors, but I absolutely LOVE my job!!! It also helps that I have some super fun co-workers!
Today at church someone mentioned something about how many days old he was and what he's accomplished in life thus far (in my own words of course). It got me to thinking...then I calculated that today I am 9,254 days old...what have I done with my life thus far and what am I doing today? Somehow my thoughts snowballed into my relationship with Heavenly Father and the 5 love languages. I don't remember exactly what they're referred to, but in my own words they are as follows: 1-words of affirmation 2-actions 3-gifts 4-quality time and 5-touch. So I was thinking, I wonder which love language Heavenly Father is...then I realized it's like anything else, he does it all! And best of all he gives us ways to express our love and appreciation to him in each language as well... 1-prayer, 2-service to others, 3-fast offerings, donations, etc, 4-scripture study/temple attendance (times we set aside for just him!), 5-the Holy Ghost (this one was kinda hard for me, so instead of thinking he wasn't perfect I thought for now I'd just leave it as a way he shows his love for me...through the comforter)
So there ya go, that's my random little trace of thoughts for the day!
