I want to share something truly close to my heart about preserving our identity. Remember, at the core of who you are, you are a cherished child of God. This truth never changes, regardless of life’s ups and downs. Jesus is not only your Savior but also your brother, walking with you every step of the way.
One beautiful way to honor your spiritual journey is by creating a spiritual journal—a personal “spiritual first aid kit.” This journal can be a comforting companion filled with memories and insights. Here are some meaningful elements to include:
• A Life Story or Short Sketch: Reflect on your journey—your joys, challenges, and the moments that have shaped you.
• Patriarchal Blessing & Other Priesthood Blessings: Document these powerful blessings that offer guidance and encouragement.
• Testimony: Write down what you know about the principles of the gospel of Jesus Christ—your personal beliefs and experiences.
• Mission in Life: Take time to discover who you are and what you feel called to do in this world.
• Gifts of the Spirit: Acknowledge the unique talents and strengths you’ve been blessed with—they’re part of your divine identity.
• Holy Ghost Impressions: Capture those gentle nudges and revelations you receive during prayer and reflection.
Your journal will become an invaluable treasure for you and your loved ones. Just as the scriptures guide us, your personal revelations can strengthen your faith and deepen your connection to what truly matters.
Keep a notebook by your bed for those late-night thoughts or feelings that inspire you. The more you seek spiritual guidance, the more you’ll feel that divine light in your life. Remember the words from D&C 50:24: “That which is of God is light; and he that receiveth light… receiveth more light.”
The Holy Ghost is your teacher, and you’ll receive impressions in so many different ways. It might help to organize your journal with sections like:
• Prayer Impressions
• Temple Impressions
• Dreams
• Personal Revelations
Think about the incredible legacy you’re creating for your family. Writing down your experiences can connect their hearts to yours in such profound ways.
Take your time with this journey of journaling. It’s not just about preserving your identity; it’s also about uplifting your spirit during life’s trials. Dive into this process with love and intention. You are worthy of this exploration, and it will enrich your life in ways you may not yet realize. You’ve got a beautiful path ahead, and I’m so excited for you!
