One Of Those Nights

I usually blog my thoughts on Sunday, reflecting on the week I just finished and preparing for the week ahead. Tonight it's different, because it's a personal special milestone. I am less than 30 minutes away from celebrating my birthday. There is no better way to celebrate your birthday like this for me. I'll be up all night, blogging, doing laundry, adding some programs to the laptop and overall reflecting this time around last year. So here it goes:

Right around this time, I remember cutting my hair, playing lots of basketball at George Mason with my friend Blake and going to the opening night of institute. A year ago I wasn't part of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, I was just your run of the mill catholic boy.

A lot has changed during those times last year. I joined the church that I had invested 3 years of my life too, I dyed my hair blond and I just had so many heart warming experiences as a new convert to the church. I thought it was fun getting callings, going to the temple, receiving my priesthood, getting my pat. blessing, doing home teaching, and just growing in the gospel.

And that's what I really what to focus on in this blog. My thankfulness to my Heavenly Father and His Son that has allowed me to be with him someday. One thing I am so thankful for in this gospel is perfect knowledge. That through our faith, preparation and desire we can attain perfect knowledge of our existence. So many times in my life, I've been confused, misdirected and angry of simple trues I wish I would have.

Right now there is so much great knowledge that I come to know, too many to even think straight right now, but I know that all that great knowledge are blessings from God. With all that I've learned, I am now able to grow and apply this knowledge to my life and become the man that God wants me to be. I just started my journey and the difference is evident. God is true, God loves us, God is in us. I just feel so overwhelmed of the spirit right now that I just want to finished this up and take it all in.

Thank you and God Bless!
