It's interesting how you can learn the most about life when you least expect it. This week I had a lot going on with school and work, and although I struggled through it, I learned a lot. The biggest thing I learned is how amazing the temple is, and how much my testimony has grown in the short 3 months I've been endowed. I go to the temple every week, usually towards the end of the week yet Tuesday I kept getting a strong impression that I needed to go. I had a lot to get finished and 3 tests to start studying for yet the feeling kept coming to me throughout the day. Once I finally decided I would go on Tuesday and headed there, I found myself rushing and thinking I might not make the session in time. I know now how much the Lord wanted me there that day because I made it just as the session was starting and was able to make it in. Along with my busy week, I had also just been feeling off. Sometimes it's hard to understand why we feel the way we feel, but we just know that we're off. My testimony was strengthened so much as soon as I sat down in the temple. The 'off' feeling immediately left and I was overcome with comfort. I don't often have experiences like this so I was really blessed to have it happen at this time. Throughout the session I felt so happy and comforted. Leaving the temple that day I felt such relief and so much better. I know that because I listened to those promptings to go Tuesday, the Lord was able to help me. Because I know that the Lord will direct, especially in his house, I know that the Lord will direct me there when I most need it. A scripture that goes along with this is Doctrine and Covenants 78:18 which says, "ye cannot bear all things now; nevertheless, be of good cheer, for I will lead you along". Reading this scripture this week gave me even more evidence that my Savior is aware of me. I know that as I strive to be of good cheer, despite life's challenges, my Savior truly will lead me to happiness. With this knowledge I am driven to live righteously so that he can guide me in the right way.
