To start this post off, here is a link to a song called "Oceans" by Hillsong... They are a Christian singing group. Even though they're not LDS, their message through this song is incredibly powerful! It is kinda lengthy but it's worth the watch for sure. In this music video they are actually on The Sea of Galilee on a boat where Jesus Christ walked and called Peter out on the water! How cool is that?! So anyways, enjoy! CLICK HERE :) I love the lyrics: "I will call upon your name, and keep my eyes above the waves. When oceans rise... my soul will rest in your embrace." Through life's hard blows, challenges, and trials we have one person who we can turn to no matter what... Our Savior Jesus Christ. We can rely on Him. We can trust Him. We can turn to Him. He loves us, oh how He truly loves us and wants us to be happy! In my seminary class there is this quote that covers the length of one of the walls that says, "Walking where Jesus walked is less important than walking as He walked." That is a quote by Thomas S. Monson from a conference talked titled "Ponder the Path of Thy Feet" from October's 2014 General Conference. (That talk basically sums up this blog post and the point I want to get across here, so I recommend you read it;) it's a good one!) Our ultimate Exemplar is Jesus Christ! He is "...the way, the truth, and the life.." (John 14:6) He is everything that we should be striving to be. Now, we do not have to be perfect. Heavenly Father does not expect that of us, he just wants us to try. If all we can give is our best, that is okay. They understand. They just want us to be striving and trying. Starting from a young age we were taught to try and be like Jesus just like it tells us in this primary song, It is always good to remember these lyrics as we go throughout our journey here on earth...
Hopefully you got something out of this short blog post, I struggle sometimes guys haha and hope that even just one of you can be inspired and learn something from these... I love and care for all of you readers. Thank you, as always, for reading! Have a great Sabbath. Ness

"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed." - James 1:5-6 Quote Of The Week:
