Enlightened

Every Monday in Seminary we what we call Spiritual Experiences (or FS depending on the teacher) and we share a time during the week when we felt the spirit. I used to share all the time but this year for some reason I could never figure out how to share. That's confusing so let me explain. I had spiritual experiences, one every week even, but every time I went to share I couldn't figure out how to put it into words. Then I read a talk given by Elder Craig C. Christensen called "An Unspeakable Gift from God."(Pg. 12 of the conference ensign). When I reread the talk that phrase, "unspeakable gift of the spirit" I felt like I had an epiphany. Sometimes when the spirit talks to us we know he is talking because he speaks to our spirits. Everyone's spirit is different so what or how the Holy Ghost speaks to me might not make sense to other people. You are probably saying "you got that right this makes no sense" but when you think about it, it totally does. It doesn't matter if the experience doesn't sound like a prompting from the spirit, what matters is that you know it was! I got really excited when I read that and I thought it might be good to share.

This blog started out to be just me living life but it's kind of switched over to things I'm learning as I am going through daily life as a high schooler preparing for college. Maybe you don't see it that way but that's ok. TTFN
