These were a few notes I took in Sunday as I was reflecting on the
cultural celebration.
- The
joy I felt when dancing. I was frozen, cold, chilled to the bone, and yet... I
felt so war, inside. The warmest most joyful felling giving me the love of
god.
- My
testimony was so strong at that time this memory of joy brought a glue gun. And
super glue was poured over my heart as the love of Christ was put over it.
How I responded
This really brings backs memories. Helping me remember my old testimonies and bringing the new ones. At the time I was making
the note in church and I didn't really remember what had happened at the cultural
celebration. I guess I was caught up in the reality of school and entertainment covering the memorable moments that change a life. Sometimes it takes a
reminder to remember the truth. I had no idea what my feelings were a month and a
half ago. All I felt was warmth and comfort in the cold water drenching my life to make it depressing. It took me another chance to feel the joy and love of Christ.
Now I feel it every day reading my scriptures over and over again. Not the feeling of joy and excitement but the feeling of peace. Peace is the feeling that the adversary can never achieve. But he mimics the other feelings of excitement and happiness. The power to achieve this feeling of peace doesn't require learning or knowing the gospel at all, but it requires you to know the difference between the feelings of truth and error. The cultural celebration opened the door to the peace I brought into my life. But the mist of reality tried to pull me down and succeed for some time now. Yet, I can never be taken away from something I worked hard for. I brought the feeling of peace back into my life and finally made it a standing point for the future.

I hope
we all are able to receive this peace and happiness in the future. And because this
is a testimony of peace, I would love to say this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
