the M

Today was incredible.. truly incredible. And it's only 10 a.m. haha
This morning, me and some people from church hiked up to the M. It was one of those times that just effortlessly went SO well. I have been praying and praying for who knows HOW long for some friends, as pathetic as that sounds. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the people in my life now. But I realized today exactly how little appearance matters in this world. Everyone I was with this morning just has this love for the gospel that outshines any outward appearance, to the point where I don't even notice what anyone looks like anymore. They are just all so beautiful.
I felt safe, knowing that the Lord has brought these people into my path to lift me through this tough point in my life. To help chip off my rough edges and become better, because I can only see myself becoming better when I'm around other people that want me to do better.

I don't really know how to put all of this into words. But this is just what I needed. Every worry is gone, every weakness seems to be put on hold when there are people around to strengthen you. And that doesn't make you a weak person; it makes you humble.

So this quote, from Boyd K. Packer:
"I went before the Lord and in essence said, I'm not neutral and you can do with me what you want. If you need my vote, it's there. I don't care what you do with me, and you don't have to take anything from me because I will give it to you-everything, all I own, all I am."
