Oh how I am blessed, let me never forget.

There are people all around and he bows his head in prayer. What an example. I am sitting her in the student center, once again for hours on end. I looked up from my computer screen, only to see a guy bowing his head, praying to our Father in Heaven. There are people everywhere. Almost every table is full. Much like the average scene on a weekday. What an awesome campus to be on. Not one person looked at this boy weird or in disgust. He was able to doing what he knows is right, without any shame. Someday I wish to be that strong of a person. Today I couldn't get out of bed early enough to attend the temple. I was too tired and too lazy. I want to strive to be that person that can bow my head in public without being embarrassed, to thank the Lord for my many blessings. That person that can arise early to show the Lord I am willing to sacrifice my sleep for him, because he sent his son who was sacrificed for me and my sins from the past and future. I am so blessed to be attending this university. Each class is opened with a prayer. Some even have songs and thoughts to really invite the spirit to assist us in our learning. Maybe some people think its weird, some people don't believe in all of the rules. But this is an opportunity that I so lucky to have. My life will never be the same now that I have attended school here. My expectations for myself are much higher. My understanding of the gospel has grown so much. My love for my Father in Heaven is stronger than it has ever been before. I have the chance to feed my mind, and soul. I get to build a stronger foundation at such a crucial time in my life. How lucky am I? Luckier than many! I have been learning about children in developing countries and how they don't have any way to attend school. And here I am, attending college, on a campus that the students all have the same values as me. I learn new things daily. I see examples regularly. I am growing, learning, and trying my hardest to "Come Unto Christ". Oh am I blessed. Let me never forget.
