The Connection

Have you ever had that feeling where you just connect to someone's spirit?  Where whatever they are saying you just seem to really relate to and understand?  I have really felt that with a recent deceased apostle by the name of Elder Richard G. Scott.  For some reason I have always related to him on a more intimate level, and his talks are always answers to my prayers in the week I read them.  I know he has blessed so many people's lives, and will continue to bless them in the next.  I especially loved his talk "Making the Right Choices" from the October 1994, ironically a little over a month before I was born, General Conference Session.  In it he talks about how the choices we make here are paramount, and will shape our future in the life to come and to exercise caution.  One of my favorite quotes I pulled was this,

"One of the hardest things for you to recognize is how truly strong you already are and how others silently respect you".  

I doubt my capabilities so often in life, and it is only when I turn to the Lord and have Him as my strength that I realize how much I am doing, and who I am becoming.  I would like to challenge anyone reading this to do the same!  Learn for yourself your worth, and become the person God intended you to be.
