Lord, I Would Follow Thee

Song: Lord, I Would Follow Thee
Artist: LDS Hymnbook, 

I have to put every ounce of faith and trust I have in my Lord Jesus Christ and go through with it. It's all I can do. My mind is going crazy, wanting with every fiber of my brain's soul to back out and run away. Hide. This is uncomfortable. It's hard. It's going to take all my effort, time and attention. This is scary. This is new. This is different. I could come up with every excuse in the book as to why I shouldn't or can't do this. I'm too old, not smart enough, not good enough, not ready, etc. Instead of putting energy into my doubt and fear, I'm going to put everything I have into my faith and say "Lord, I WILL follow Thee." I feel this is right. Despite what I think and what my mind is trying to convince me of, I feel like this is the Lord's plan for me. And I want to follow it. Because I want to follow Him.

Savior, may I learn to love thee,
Walk the path that thou hast shown,
Pause to help and lift another,
Finding strength beyond my own.
Savior, may I learn to love thee—
Lord, I would follow thee.

Who am I to judge another
When I walk imperfectly?
In the quiet heart is hidden
Sorrow that the eye can’t see.
Who am I to judge another?
Lord, I would follow thee.

I would be my brother’s keeper;
I would learn the healer’s art.
To the wounded and the weary
I would show a gentle heart.
I would be my brother’s keeper—
Lord, I would follow thee.

Savior, may I love my brother
As I know thou lovest me,
Find in thee my strength, my beacon,
For thy servant I would be.
Savior, may I love my brother—
Lord, I would follow thee.

HAPPY 2018!!

Here's to trusting the Lord with all of my heart. Here's to exercising faith.
Here's to following God's plan for me by following Him.

*Sorry this post is so vague. Just know, I'm going through some big, BIG changes right now that are really scary and really hard. I need all the positive vibes and prayers I can get!!
