Random Thoughts

"Adversity can increase faith or instead can cause the troubling roots of bitterness to spring up... One's life, therefore, can not be both faith filled and stress free... Therefore, how can you and I really expect to glide naively through life, as if to say, 'Lord, give me experience, but not grief, not sorrow, not pain, not opposition, not betrayal, and certainly not to be forsaken. Keep from me, Lord, all those experiences which made thee what thou art! Then, let me come and dwell with thee and fully share thy joy.'"

Tunnel Singing

Tonight my cousin texted me and asked me if I would like to go tunnel singing with her at BYU. Lately I havent been feeling like doing much with anyone, but I decided to go. Oh my, I am so glad that I did make that decision! For those of you who have never been down there on sunday nights to sing, you should concider it at least once. It brings the spirit so strongly while people are singing and it is just over all AMAZING. We were singing for a while, and about half way into it they have a time where people can stand up and tell us if they, friends, family, or anyone have been called on a mission or currently surving one. I was sitting there listening to guys, and girls, tell us where they have been called to and when they live. They sounded so enthusiastic and happy to be going out all around the world to serve. It reminded me of Romans 1:16. It starts out by saying "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ." I just thought it was so awesome that they are so willing and so ready to go out and serve the Lord. I just thought it was pretty cool being surrounded by so many people who share the same beliefs as I do and singing to invite the spirit. Haha well those are my random thoughts of the night!
