Finding Clarity and Faith: Reflections on my Journey.

This week has been an intense one for me as I embarked on a quest for clarity and a deeper sense of faith. In my pursuit, I turned to the wisdom shared in the general conference talks of my church, engaging in prayer, crying, and engaging in some introspection. Through this process, I have come to realize the importance of both embracing what moves me forward and letting go of what no longer serves me. Learning that the difficulties and struggles I encounter are an integral part of my journey towards personal growth. This week I decided to reflect on some areas that have helped me.

Seeking Guidance

As I was searching for clarity, I turned to the words of apostles during the general conference talks of my church. These talks provided me with valuable insights, guiding me towards a better understanding of my purpose and the path I should be treading. The messages resonate deeply within me, reminding me of the importance of faith, perseverance, and self-reflection. I also searched the scriptures for guidance.

Prayer, Tears, and Reflection

I have been praying earnestly and also with a lot of frustration. I obviously did not find solace in prayer straight away so that is why I have had to pray a lot. In my moments of prayer, I have been pouring out my heart, seeking guidance and strength from God. I went to church to renew my covenants and to learn more. This last weel. I allowed myself to release some pent-up emotions, shed a few tears and found a few answers. Some I am not too happy about but am working through them. Reflection and pondering have become an essential part of my journey. It offers me time to contemplate my actions, thoughts, and aspirations. I am able to question whether my current endeavors are truly aligning with my values and bringing me joy. This process of introspection allows me to identify areas in my life that need adjustment and the ability to discern the steps I need to take to move forward.

Embracing What Moves Me Forward

This last week I have realized the importance of embracing activities, relationships, and pursuits that bring me closer to my goals and aspirations. I have been looking at what I am doing and whether they are the things that fuel my passion, ignite my spirit, and move me towards personal growth. By focusing on these positive aspects, it is always to ensure that I am fulfilling my purpose in my life.

Letting Go of What No Longer Serves Me

Equally important in this journey has been letting go of things in my life that no longer serve me. Whether it be negative habits, toxic relationships, self-limiting beliefs, lack of knowledge or overworking. I have come to understand that letting go is an essential part of personal growth. I am doing way too much which doesn’t allow me to do my best! Now some of the things that I am doing feel like a burden. I am looking at how I can create space for new opportunities, positive experiences, and a renewed sense of self.

The Role of Struggles and Difficulties

Through this process, I have come to appreciate that the struggles and difficulties I encounter are not obstacles to be avoided but rather steppingstones on my path. These challenges provide me with valuable lessons, resilience, and the opportunity to grow stronger. They shape me into the person I am meant to become, teaching me valuable life lessons and helping me develop a deeper sense of faith. People truth to say that if things are hard, it is not right but I have learnt that the things we truly want take time and effort.

As I reflect on this week's journey, I am grateful for the clarity and faith I have gained. Through the guidance of general conference talks, prayer, tears, and reflection, I have learned to embrace what moves me forward while letting go of what no longer serves me. I have come to understand that the struggles and difficulties I encounter are an integral part of my personal growth. I feel a bit more prepared to continue my journey, armed with faith and a renewed sense of purpose.
