I love...














I Love Easter. I Love Christ. I Love what he did for me. for you. for everyone. He truly did suffer in Gethsemane. He truly did hang on the cross and die for me. Then, he broke the bands of death and was resurrected so that all of us will be too. And I know that. I am so grateful that I have the gospel in my life to lean on, to grow from, and to live. I cannot fathom the pain that Christ went through so that I can have the life that I have now. I know that I cannot repay him in anyway, no matter what I try. The best that I can do is live his gospel to it's fullest. Even when it is hard, or something that I do not want to do.
I Love new beginnings (hint the picture) I Love that every Sabbath I can partake of the Sacrament and repent. I Love my Savior for giving me that opportunity. I Love the Holy Ghost, that you can learn something from Him, even if that is not the topic of the lesson at all. But that is what you need to hear. I Love that I am able to learn from Him, and am able to have the Spirit with me at all times. I Love that I was given wonderful, inspired parents that tell me exactly what I need to do. I Love that I was given wonderful, inspired friends that tell me exactly what I need to do (even if they don't realize it!). I Love having those moments of complete understanding. When you realize something that you have been looking for, for what seems like forever. I Love when you get an answer to a very serious, deep, troubling question. And even if the answer isn't what you hoped for, it is an answer. And I Love being able to receive answers to prayers.
I Love Easter. And I Love that the Savior was resurrected so that we can have these new beginnings possible. I Love my life. Even though it is hard. Even though it is tough and troubling and sometimes confusing. I Love it with every fiber of my being. I hope that the everyone had as wonderful of an Easter as I had. It was different. We did not have a huge dinner. I did not get a new dress. We did not die eggs or have an Easter lesson in Sunday School. But I got my answer. An answer that i had been searching for, praying for, pondering on. And I feel relieved. So relieved. yes. I Love Easter. I Love my Savior. and I Love life...
