I am not entirely sure how many people really look at this blog. It hasn't been updated in years. It only covered a snippet of my mission and then I had full intentions of getting it going again after my mission, but lets be honest, I can barely remember to keep a journal half of the time, let alone a blog.

However, I have been blessed with opportunity to be in a BYU religion class that requires us to share our thoughts and feelings we have while studying the scriptures. I am not very good at expressing my testimony and feelings out loud, but hopefully, I can express them decently in writing.

So, let's begin, shall we?

There is some beautiful doctrine taught in Moses chapter 1. In the first three verses, the attributes and characteristics of Heavenly Father are explained. We are told that He has a body like ours, He cares about the individual, He is glorious and almighty, He is eternal. Then, in verse four Heavenly Father is talking to Moses and says, "And behold, thou art my son..."

The beauty in the verse, pointed out to me by my professor that day, is that that one little phrase gave Moses his entire identity. And not only does it give Moses a divine identity, but it also gives ME a divine identity, and it gives YOU a divine identity.

In this one phrase, we are told that we can grow up to be just like our Heavenly Father. That is what He wants for us. He told us in the first three verses what our potential is.

Never think less of yourself. Never doubt your worth. You are a child of God and you can do great things. He is an example of who you have the potential to become.
