An end to 2014.

Tuesday morning I had to face the Lord's will over mine own. Tuesday morning my Grandma Nora May Ogle returned to Our Father above.

Tuesday I may have lost my Grandma for a short time, but I gained a stronger testimony of prayer. Monday night I pleaded with my Father in Heaven that He would take my grandma. I let go of my will and accepted His. That's when I realized that my Grandpa Tony needed her again and all those who passed before her. I knew it was her time to go, and I was finally okay with it.

Christ went through Gethsemane so that I could be happy. The One Perfect Man that ever walked this earth suffered and hurt so I wouldn't have to. And I didn't have to, not when I let Him in.

Losing someone that means so much in your life can be heart breaking and it was for a minute. Then I got down on my knees and begged to know His will. If you ask, He will answer. I soon came to realize that it was BEST for her to go Home. This trial would be a lot harder if it wasn't for the tender mercies of my Lord. This trial has brought me love, comfort, answers, motivation, and a deeper testimony on the Plan of Salvation, prayer, and families.

My grandma was so proud that I made the decision to serve a mission. I cannot wait to honor her with that decision and hopefully my service will help her come unto Christ one day.

Tuesday night I had to say another "See you later" but this one isn't the same "See you later". Jade Accountius was set apart as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ Tuesday.

It was hard telling her "See you later" but she is going to bring other's to Christ. She is about to change thousands of people lives.

Jade is a role model for me and one of my best friends. She is going to be one STELLER missionary. See you in 2 1/2 years Sister A. Love you.

This year I have a resolution I will keep. I will prepare and I will being my mission. I will help other's come unto Christ and I will build my relationship with my Savior and Father in Heaven. 2015 is the year for many, many life changing decisions and I am so excited for the adventure it will bring.

"Keep your eyes on your dreams, however distant and far away. Live to see the miracles of repentance and forgiveness, of trust and divine love that will transform your life today, tomorrow, and forever. That is a New Year’s resolution I ask you to keep." -Elder Jeffrey R. Holland
