Missions and Conversion

Well, I don't have too long today - but one of the themes that I was listening today was that of missionary work.

I'd been thinking for the last couple of months that I may have convinced myself I wasn't to go because I was scared or proud - and today I felt a reassuring peace that it was good that I have not yet served a mission. I was reminded of what I can do here and its importance, of supporting my family, being a friend, and learning to become like Christ - are all things that I am learning here. And, it is where I am supposed to be.

We talked of conversion and what that really means - and how perfection really is a process. We can keep doing our part.

Lately I've also been touched by how important remembering really is - we are so good at forgetting what isn't right in front of us, and conversion really occurs when we come to the point that we are always praying, we are always loving, we are always bringing others to Christ, because that has become who we literally are. And, it will take a lifetime to truly get there. Good news, you have a lifetime to give. And, you'll get there - one day at a time. Do your best today. Repent, and do better the next day. You've got time. Be diligent and keep moving forward.
