One Memorable Car Ride Home... Because of Him!!

I was driving in the car on the way back from Provo.  Car rides make me think.  Make me hope.  Make me wonder.  I often like to pray while i'm in the car and i have a long ways to drive.  A time where it is just me and God and everyone else is on the outside.  I feel that I can really concentrate and express what I want to my Heavenly Father.

As I drove home I was reminded of the video that is online right now #Because of Him. I was thinking about all the things that I am able to do because of him!  I am able to grow and change and overcome habits. I am able to live and breath and enjoy the world.  I can move, hike, run, and swim.  I can dream as big as I want and know that it is possible.  I can replace fear with faith and worries with excitement.  I can love and be loved.  I can feel and i can see.  I can create thoughts and ideas of my own and learn from the thoughts and ideas of others.  I can be calm in the eye of the storm and i can be firm to defend the truths I know.  I can pray to the God of my soul and feel of his healing responses.  I can overcome all that is placed in my path, All Because of Him.  

One very firm and important thing that came to my mind was that Because of him I could be a missionary and go to the greatest mission on earth with the greatest people on earth.  I loved being a missionary and i so loved the people.  As i recalled the events that took place in the sacred place, I was so grateful that because of Him I could have been there.  I am humbled to tears that because of Him I could meet some of my Greatest Friends, people I would be willing to give my life for, that because of Him they and I could change to be more like Him, that because of Him we have a chance to be Eternal Friends and to return to live with God one day.  Oh how I love those I served on my mission,  and it is All Because of Him.  

I will always remember that tearful carride home....Because of him!
