I also went and got my Patricartical Blessing today. As Thomas sat in the room with me while Brother Kenter gave me my blessing- my heart was overwhelmed with the Spirit. I had waited so long to get my blessing- and here is was. God was speaking to my heart through the Holy Spirit. It was probably one of the most memorable times in my life. I still have the feeling inside me. I am so very thankful.
I love this quote... so much. I strive for this... I am borrowing it from Lacey...
"I am part of the fellowship of the unashamed. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. I won' t look back, let up, slow down, or be still. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, and my future is secure. I'm finished and done with low living, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, worldly talking, cheap giving, and dwarfed goals. I no longer need preeminence, positions, promotions, plaudits, or popularity. I don't have to be right, first, recognized, praised, regarded or rewarded. I now live by faith, lean on His presence, walk with patience, am uplifted by prayer, and labor with power. My face is set, my gait is fast, my goal is Heaven. My road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions are few, my guide is reliable, my mission is clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, divided or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversity, negotiate at th table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I won't give up, shut up, or let up until I hvae stayed up, stored up, and paid up for the cause of Christ. I must go til He comes, give til I drop, Preach til all know, and work til He stops me. And when He returns for His own, He will have no problem recognizing me. My banner will be clear." -Elder Henry B. Eyring
I hope you all have a great week.
