I woke up this morning with the desire to be close to God. My roommate informed me that she was going for a 4 hour drive, so that she could talk with God. And I decided I needed to do something to be close to Him, to listen, to Be Still.

I love my relationship with my Father in Heaven. People may never understand it, but it doesn't matter. I know He knows me. I know he loves me. I know that he is constantly leading me where I need to go. I know that the Plan of Salvation is real and that I can apply the Atonement to return to God someday. I want to be more bold in declaring my knowledge, with sharing my joy, so for now I will declare it on my blog (its a work in progress people!).

Anyways, I spent my day conversing with God. I spent my day being still and I felt peace about a lot of things. I'm letting go of more then just the heartache of a failed love, I'm letting go of people that don't better me, I'm letting go of insecurities, and I'm letting go of control. And through all that letting go, I am gaining so much more.

Heavenly Father is real. He is tangible and he is waiting for all of us to turn to him. I wish the world could see that.
