A Good Place

I'm in a good place right now. I really, really am. Mostly, I feel it's because of the gospel. I love my ward, I love the people in my ward, I love the messages I hear ever Sunday, and i absolutely LOVE the Book of Mormon.

But I remember when I wasn't feeling this joy, when I was really alone and frustrated with the way my life was going. When I couldn't feel the Holy Ghost because I wasn't doing anything to be worthy of it. I remember those feelings, and when I read back to some of the blog posts I had earlier in 2011, they really reflected those feelings. There was such a major gap of time where I couldn't even blog because I had nothing good to say.

I am so grateful to be in a different place now. I am grateful to know that Heavenly Father will always be there for me and is rooting for me on the other side. I am grateful for the friends that stick by me, even when their own lives are difficult. And I feel joy.
