Faith Talk

So I get to give a talk on faith this Saturday at Justin's baptism. I am honored to do that. I'm also grateful to be asked. I think he's asking Matt Downs too. I think Heavenly Father is giving me that talk because I don't have the faith I need to have. I just feel like I'm walking in the dark and that I've been there too long. I want to move on because nothing's happening but maybe that's NOT having faith. I'm not happy and doesn't my father in heaven want me to be happy? Isn't following the spirit supposed to bring lasting joy and happiness? I have the faith to do whatever I know I'm supposed to do no matter how much of an idiot it makes me feel like and I have faith that the joy will ultimately come.

I love this gospel so much. Heavenly father loves us so much. I don't doubt that if I do what I know to be true, if I constantly do my best it will be for the best whether I see the results immediately or not. ALSO other people don't matter. We don't need to rely on other people to make the choices that our best for us. Other people cannot hold our salvation hostage. We are the only ones who can do that.
