Faith is More Than a Feeling

Stake Conference for the Klamath Falls Oregon stake was on Sunday and I'd like to share a very powerful lesson I learned. :)

The past week or so, I have been having some...concerns. Yeah, that's a good word, concerns!  I was praying and studying, and being obedient (at least I think I was,) and I was trying my best to be the kind of missionary that the Lord wants me to be.  But I still felt as though something was missing. That was until I pinpointed that I was lacking Faith! 

We were having trouble getting return appointments and when we did get them, the people were rarely showing up.  I was beginning to lack the conviction and boldness that I needed to perform the Lord's work.  So I started asking my Father in Heaven for that help, and He answered me in a way that I wasn't expecting.

In stake conference on Sunday, a member of the stake presidency shared a quote that really struck me! He said, " Faith is more than a feeling, it's a decision!"  AHH!! I just love that!! We can pray and pray all the live long day but that is not something that the Lord can give.  We as His children must make the decision to have faith and make the decision that we are going to make return appointments and He will bless accordingly.

Its amazing the change that I have seen in two days in implementing this into my life. 

I know that when we make the decision to have faith in our Father in Heaven and in His Son, Jesus Christ, the Lord will bless us! 


Thanks for readin'!
