He Loves Me!!!!

So last night, Denali and I did a lot of girl talk. I love that girl to death. She gets me; she gets my concerns. She is always able to help me see better ways of looking at situations, and I always run my crazy ideas by her (and of course, she usually talks me out of it.) I am going to miss her so stinkin much while I am on my mission! She always keeps me grounded when I am going crazy.
There is another person who is always there for me, and that is the Savior. He has faith in me, even when I give up on myself. He knows my potential, and He feels my pain. He knows me so well. He cheers me on, especially on my worst days. I'm going to have to rely on Jesus ALOT on my mission. It's definitely going to be tough, and there are probably going to be some days that I'll want to throw in the towel and just come home. But I know that with His help, anything is possible. I just have to remember that when the going gets tough.
Last night, after girl talk, I kept thinking about ways to be a better person. I kept thinking about people I've been mean to, brushed off, or not been as good of a friend to as I could have been. I thought of my friends who are going through trials and just feel crappy. I want to be a better friend, and I'm sure my mission will give me tons of practice with that. I need to be kinder and more charitable. I need to be less judgemental and more compassionate. I need to follow the Savior's example better. I know the Savior can help me as I make these changes; as I try to be more like Him. I know He can help me through the hard times. I know that He lives and loves us. I know that it is all made possible through the Atonement and I am indeed grateful for that.
