“I am all astonishment.” Mr. Bennett

Today has been a whirlwind of a day.  Not only did I go from place to place, but during it all I definitely felt the spirit so strong! 

I started of my day curling my hair at o'dark thirty.  I have been pinteresting lately and looking for new ways to do my hair, but yet I am too scared to actually follow through with anything I have seen- so I struck to my old ways of curling.  I then drove to Lehi to listen to a good friends farewell.  He is a complete sweetheart and has always influenced me for the better.  The sacrament meeting was amazing and I did end up becoming a little teary eyed.  Although I have seen my friends start leaving I guess this farewell was a little bit sad because everyone is back in Lehi while I am here in Provo, but that is okay because that is life.   It comes and the future always looks to be bright.

Because I have moved apartments I wanted to go to my church back in Provo which didn't start until 11, just to meet the few new people (everyone else moves in Monday so next week so I will know if I have new roommates by then).  On my drive down I received a call asking to play the piano for sacrament meeting.  I admit it was hard to come up with songs off the top of my head, and so I went with the first numbers that came to mind.  The actually playing wasn't too great, due to the lack of a visible conductor and my first experience actually playing for so many people. 

The rest of church was amazing and really spiritual.  I felt the spirit so strong.  After church I had a meeting with the Bishop and the councilors.  I have received a couple new callings and I am excited for the possibilities and challenges the following months can and will bring.  My meeting with the Bishop was always good, and I admit I left feeling much better about everything.  As of late I have been feeling so down and unworthy, and Satan has just been pounding me with all my insecurities.  I went to the temple and decided the best person to see was my Bishop to help me feel better.  Upon entering the room it was determined I would receive a Priesthood blessing.  As the Bishopric laid their hands upon my head I felt completely safe, whole, and like me again.  

After retuning home and being locked out of my apartment due to misinformation from management, I finally had some time to sit down and think about my day.  I know the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day saints is true.  "I am all astonishment." The Gospel has done so much for me and I am eternally grateful.  Without the church's guiding hands I would fall to the dark world and not be able to stand.  So today I am all amazed.  I am all astonishment.  The church is everything and more!
