First Steps

This week was definitely one of the craziest weeks on my mission. One of our wonderful investigators was supposed to get baptized and in a crazy turn of events he didn't. From losing his job, to practically losing himself and his faith, he chose to not get baptized. While my heart hurt immensely for him and his decision, I am forever grateful for the gift of agency that we all have.

Below is a poem that I wrote this week, and I encourage you all to remember that no matter how lost or alone you may feel, Christ's light will lead the way.

First Steps

I took my first steps

A long time ago

And now I look back

And feel like a pro

I walk and I run

With grace and with ease

And I can just go

Wherever I please

But when I sit down

And really reflect

Hermanas with Obi-Pan-Kanobi

About how I've grown

I cannot neglect

My Father above

Has given me all

He's always been there

Even when I fall

He helps me stand up

And brush off the dust

And He leads me on

In Him I must trust

The grace that I've felt

Was never from me

Food!

It comes from His son

Who gives willingly

The ease of my stride

Is because of Him

Who leads and who guides

So I'm never grim

Follow in his steps

And you won't get lost

He'll help you get through

Whatever the cost

Feel lost or alone?

Christ's light leads the way

He's right by your side

And right there He'll stay

Have a most excellent week and never forget that you are loved!
