Testimonies

Today, being fast and testimony meeting in church, I was thinking a lot of testimonies.  My testimony especially.  I thought about my mission, my testimony, it seems, was a lot stronger while I was on my mission.  I realized that one of the biggest reasons that is true is because I bore my testimony countless times every day on my mission.  I spoke of the Savior, of His Gospel, of His Atonement throughout every moment of everyday to anyone that wanted to listen.  I thought of my Heavenly Father, of my Savior, of how I could become more like them.  Everything in my life was centered on living the gospel.  It is different now because I am not a full time missionary, BUT I reminded myself that still everything in my life can be related to the gospel, every answer to every question can be answered through prayer.  I need to remember that the Spirit can still be strongly constant in my life.  And in all reality this is how it not only can and should be, but it needs to be that way.  I bore my testimony today in Sacrament and it reminded me how blessed I am and also how much responsibility I have because of those blessings.  I have a testimony, it's time to more often share it and to more consistently live it.
