Starting Out

I thought I would start out with just my simple testimony. Over the course of my life I have studied the scriptures, some days I have been more diligent than others, but the peace that theses words have brought into my life has been profound. I know that God speaks to man, not only in years past, but also today, through the scriptures and through his Living Prophet. I know God Lives, I know that His Son Jesus Christ, atoned for our sins. I know that the plan of salvation is real, that God has a plan for each of us. I know that Families are a part of that plan. Families are forever, how beautiful it is to know that. Every day I ponder what it would be like without my family, and it grieves my soul, but knowing that because the priesthood has been restored and that the sealing power is back on this earth and that through this power I can have my family forever brings me the greatest joy that one could have. I testify of our Heavenly Fathers Love for His Children, He knows us individually, personally and completely. I know that our Savior loves us, He suffered for us, not just in mass, but he somehow stepped outside the bounds of time, and suffered for us individually. In essence he took each of us by the hand and led us through our tough times, through our pain and suffering, through our sins and transgressions, through our afflictions and sicknesses, and in that garden brought us back to the Father, and in a way bought us with his precious blood. How much we owe Him. I know he loves us, I know God loves us, and I know that Their teachings are true. I love the Scriptures and I hope that I might be able to share this with you through this medium.
