There are many times when a choice has to be made and I hesitate because I'm not quite sure which direction I should go. And I'm not necessarily talking about good versus bad. Maybe the choice is good versus good. Experience has shown that more times than not if I will follow my instinct, (God given gift) the decision I decide on ends up being what's best for me.
Our family attended Sacrament meeting today in West Jordan, Utah to listen to our niece as she spoke, prior to entering the Missionary Training Center, in Provo, Utah in two weeks as she embarks as a full-time missionary in the Indiana Indianapolis Mission. She spoke of a church leader who counseled her to follow her instincts in relation to whether a mission was the right thing for her. She spoke, today, with humility and gratitude. We are excited for her opportunity to serve.
Each one of us has the opportunity to choose. I hope that I will pay close attention to what my instinct says on any given days in my life. God has built into each one of the us the ability to choose the things that we should do. That internal compass will lead us to reach the potential that He knows we can. The responsibility is ours and the rewards are great!
