Her family is the one thing she loves most. She works hard to receive an education. These things are taken from her when soldiers threaten to the take the life of anyone with Tutsi heritage. She manages to survive by hiding in a closet sized bathroom with seven other women.
She was able to take this event in her life, and make it in an opportunity to grow closer to God. Through the love of the Savior, she is able to forgive and overcome.
I feel inspired to change, and forgive. I feel inspired to take my trials, and use them as an opportunity to let God take care of me. I want to serve my God. I want to feed the sheep He asked me to tend. I want to look for those who need someone. I want to let Christ fill me with joy, rather than the worldly things I have sought lately.
I struggle with wanting to feel "full". If I act in a way that makes the spirit leaves, I become very depressed because I feel empty. I look for a replacement for the spirit, but there isn't one. Other things I have searched for to make me feel full always leave me feeling more empty.
Christ is my first reason I want to change. His infinite love and sacrifice gives me hope for everything. He bled and died so that I could have the opportunity to have true happiness. True happiness comes from giving yourself to the Lord, and taking the love he offers every single chance you give.
That brings to the blog post I read today on The Perfect Day. Here is the link:

This post talks about visualizing what we want, and asking the Lord to help us accomplish it.
This quote was used on the post:
"Alma 32 tells us about the spiritual creation, the temporal creation, and the eye of faith, meaning that you create in your
mind first of all...the spiritual creation of that which you desire, and you
concentrate your mind on it until it comes into reality in the real world.
Every idea, the exercising of faith, anything that has any value that I know of, is created first of all spiritually in the mind of man and then later, because of his exceeding great faith, he brings it about temporally -- he literally causes it to happen." (Elder Gene R. Cook, "Qualifications For The Work", Talk Given At The Missionary Training Center, June 7, 1983)

I believe in this. I want to experience this. My next step is to ponder, what do I really want? And then, begin to visualize.
