The title of this blog has been inspired from one of my sisters. At the end of every letter she signs me off "onward and upward, sister, in the service of the Lord." I've always been one for mottos and this one seems very fitting as a missionary but further more as a child of God. I've better come to understand what it means to be a child of God through the Plan of Salvation. (To learn more visit http://mormon.org/beliefs/plan-of-salvation)
In short, we lived with God, our Heavenly Father before we were born. He, as a loving father, wanted the best for us. In order to become like Him, we needed to come to this earth, gain a body, and have experiences. According to our actions here on earth, we would qualify, with the wonderful help of Christ, to live with our Father once more. What a blessing this chunk of knowledge has been in my life. Without this plan, without this guide during this very difficult life, it would be meaningless and quire frankly dark.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ along with the Plan of Salvation is the greatest light anyone could ever have in their life. With this understanding that I've gained over the years, I've chosen to set my sights high, onward and upward, toward heaven. Onward is where I look and step everyday and upward is where my destination lies.
