At times, I find myself dreaming this time of year of warm beaches and ocean waves and escape. I have always been a world traveler at heart- I got to live out this dream in college as I majored in international business and spent every summer on study abroad trips that took me around the world.
That is a big reason for going back to get my CS degree. I believe heart and soul that it is going to enable me to travel again and I'm so excited for that adventure!
What does this have to do with studying the scriptures?
Well, I have another dream that at times feels just as far off or more than world travel. I want to return to live with God, I want to do what I need to in this life so that for all eternity I can continue to learn and grow, to be with my Savior and my family.
In Hebrews 11: 1 & 6 it reads:
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
I work each day on a really difficult degree, trusting in faith that I'm going to have success in the end and that all my work will earn me the job I hope to obtain and the blessing of traveling more with my family.
I want to work with that same diligence to have faith in good things to come, to have faith to study my scriptures, pray to God honestly, and write in my journal. I want to have faith to diligently seek God.
