My “Walk” Phase
As I considered my “walk” for this project I was torn between several different topics. The four topics that “I” choose were chosen because they are all areas in my life I felt I could use more guidance and learn more about. They were areas in my life that I felt needed more ‘work’. When it came down to choosing just one application for the “walk” I had a really hard time doing so.
I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that this course and this assignment was the defining moment in gaining a stronger testimony. I'm not quite sure if I actually put some sort of game plan together, but I did set a goal that I would at least meet with my bishop to discuss returning to the Temple. That goal was accomplished. It is just a matter of matching our schedules before scheduling another appointment with him to obtain a current temple recommend. This was not one of my goals at the beginning of this project. I still believe I have a very long way before walking back in the temple doors. However, the healing that was needed has begun to transpire.
I have spent many hours this semester listening to talks, reading talks, striving to understand how to continue growing my testimony. There is no way to account for the many hours I have spent each week. The previous two semesters of the Pathway program, I spent just as much time in the Book of Mormon course, however I did not learn nearly as much as I have in this course.
After reading all of the wonderful talks by the Apostles and the Prophets, I have been able to find the inner peace that I needed to work towards returning to the temple. My life has changed while reading each of these talks and quotes. I have learned what is important in my life and what I should be striving for.
At the beginning of the semester I was very overwhelmed and felt there was no way I would be able to accomplish the amount of writing and specifically this project. I am thankful for this course and for the lessons that I have learned. I am thankful for this project, because it has forced me to read the beautiful messages from our Prophets, Seers and Revelators and to apply them to my life.
Lastly, I am thankful to Heavenly Father and the Lord Jesus Christ for providing the path for me to be part of the Pathway Program. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
