"If Christ had not risen from the dead, or have broken the bands of death that the grave should have no victory, and that death should have no sting, there could have been no resurrection" -Mosiah 16:7
One of the things that I love about this gospel is that death really has no sting. It is hard to see people die because we miss them. We love them. But we know that we will see them again and we know that they are in a better place now than they were in before they died. Our Heavenly Father loves us so much that he takes us home with him.
I also just want to record where in chapter 15 it says Christ "shall see his seed" three times. We have all been taught that when Christ performed the atonement that he saw all of us individually, but this is the first scripture I have found that states it. Christ saw me. He felt what I feel. He experienced what I have experienced. I am never alone because Christ is always there for me.
Last weekend I made the decision to not serve a mission. I went to a fireside called "to go or not to go" where four sisters spoke of their mission decisions. One sister in particular felt that she was not supposed to go and even though she wanted to, she knew that it wasn't right for her. Since then, she has become an RA, and an EFY councilor. She has had so many missionary experiences without leaving home.
I really think that is what I am supposed to do with my life. I am not to serve a full time mission but I am expected to still be a missionary and to still share the gospel. I have my whole life to bring others unto Christ!
This is what I feel strongly about doing and I hope that I will continue to receive a confirmation about my decision. I know that God's time is not my time and that I still have many years to serve him. I know that if I do not serve a mission that something even better will come along and I can't wait to find out that that might be! I have my whole life ahead of me and there are so many hundreds of opportunities waiting for me!
