Yesterday we were able to attend the open house at the Meridian Idaho Temple for the LDS church. It was very peaceful even with all of the people there. I am very grateful for the time I was able to spend there with my family.
I was reminded of who I am. I am a child of God. My worries and concerns are actually very small when I remember this fact. God is there, he loves me. He wants me to be confident and he wants me to be happy.
I watched Demi Lovato’s documentary “Simply Complicated” at one point she talks about her addictions. She said that she just had to submit to a higher power to help her overcome.
As I thought about this I realized that I don’t have to try to be anything I am not. I am already perfectly formed by God. Because I am loved the way I am I can be confident in that love. I can be confident in who I am. When I submit to God and listen to what he tells me I am filled with confidence. I know in whom I have trusted (2 Nephi 4:19) I know that he will help me.
My first day of finding confidence is a reminder in who I am. A reminder I needed and for which I am very grateful.
PS If you are interested in visiting the temple I would love to go with you!
