So I have biology from nine till ten-fifteen Tuesday/Thursdays, and a work meeting at eleven. So like, forty-five minutes in between classes.

Well it yesterday as I was making my walk to the library thinking about all the things I COULD do with my next half hour or so when I stopped and realized the weather. OH, the weather. Overcast, rainy, wet sidewalk weather. :) It happens to be my favorite.

Why on earth would I go inside now?

So I didn’t. I put my headphones in and just walked around Brigham Square. Around and around and around. Ha. I secretly hope someone was watching, because I’m sure I looked foolish. Huzzah. But as I walked, I listened to some songs which touched me. Yes. Music is a powerful thing. Here are some of my treasures.

“I got lost a time or two,

Wiped my brow and kept pushing through” –Rascal Flatts

We are speaking of the most important of all blessings. The Lord said, “If you keep my commandments and endure to the end you shall have eternal life, which gift is the greatest of all the gifts of God.” – Russel N. Nelson

“Tune my heart to sing thy grace,

Streams of mercy never ceasing

Call for songs of loudest praise.” – Come Thou Fount

“Happy is the heart that still feels pain.” Ingrid Michaelson

            In Humility our Savior grant us holiness and love.

We also talked about this idea yesterday in my Book of Mormon class. We talked about, in Alma 37 how he tells us he forgot the sorrows of his sin, but he did not completely forget. We talked about how it is important to feel pain so that we will recognize the need for spiritual change.

Man, those ponder times really are something. It helps me connect to my mind, to connect to my Father in Heaven. I am so grateful for the blessings I receive from Him daily! I certainly don’t feel worthy to be so blessed.

I am a Child of God, and he has sent me here, has given me an earthly home with parents kind and dear. Lead me. Guide me. Walk beside me. Help me find the way. Teach me all that I must do, to live with Him someday.
