This is a personal post.\u00a0 and I am guessing most of the people reading my blog are family .\u00a0 This is mostly a journal type entry.\u00a0\u00a0 Today I figured out something that I hadn’t realized before.\u00a0 Most of my life I have imagined that the Atonement was only taking effect in my life at the spots were I was making mistakes and I was trying to repent for those mistakes.\u00a0 I know the Atonement has taken effect because I remember the remose and anguish I have felt and that I wanted to change.\u00a0 I also realize I don’t feel that anymore.\u00a0 I am happy.<\/p>\n
This is what I realized.\u00a0 I feel happy today because of the effects of the atonement in my life.\u00a0 So the Atonement is really effecting my life everyday.\u00a0 Instead of just the times I was overcoming difficulties.\u00a0 I have not been fully appreciating the effects of the attonement in my life.\u00a0 I will do better with this.<\/p>\n
This then goes into the next topic.\u00a0 Now that I understand something how to I share this with my freinds and neighbors.\u00a0 For those whom I trust and have a similar belief as me I can share this whole thought.\u00a0 With those that do not share the same faith as me I think at very least I can express to everyone that I am happy and I have peace in my life.<\/p>\n
This of course does not mean I am not struggling with afflictions.\u00a0 Life is hard for everyone.\u00a0 I just have the feeling I am moving forward and eventually everything will turn out for the best.<\/p>\n
