"Random Thoughts"

So Here it is 1:00 in the morning. No Devin is not keeping me up, I just simply can not sleep. Well I just have some random thoughts going on and alot on my mind. First I'll blurt out what is in my head at the moment. I truly love the Lord I am thankful everyday for what he has given me. I know and have faith that he is the almighty. I had a Patriarchal Blessing last May and was just reading it. I realized something it said that keeps sticking out in my mind. It simply states how I will be the example and posterity to my unborn children. It also says how I will be an example to my husband. I do not feel that I am example material, but hey do any of us :) It is really amazing that the Lord thinks that much of me. I am just taken back how this time around he has the faith in me. He thinks that I am their example, and he knows that I will be their posterity through their lives. They are dependant on me and and will choose the way through my testimony. I being a convert have not always been this way. I have not always been able to know certain things to be true, and to feel the spirit around me all of the time. For those of you that have known me another way I want you all to know that I do believe in the gospel. It has done something to me that I cannot explain. All I know is that I do it for me and because I have faith in what I am doing. I also don't know much, but I do know that I have a responsibility given to me by Heavenly Father himself. I will do these things that I have been told and given because I have faith that if I do them I will see a result. Iknow that it takes alot more to have faith than to ignore it. Having faith means knowing something that you are certain of, but that you cannot see. That's what it's all about to me, I can't see Christ or Heavenly Father but I'm certian they are there (Certain of it) Thank you for reading my rambling I just had to let it out somewhere. I love that I can just write down my thoughts anytime, thanks for listening and goodnight :)
