I actually like the Singles Ward lessons! Makes you think

I was thinking today about Christ and it really dawned on me of how great the sacrifice he made. I know I am not perfect in any way shape or form and I have done some pretty stupid things in my 19 years and some are worse than others. In relief society on Sunday we were talking about repentance. I am not very educated in it so I found it a great lesson. I couldn't help but think wow people say all the time that Christ knows what we are going through; well it really hit me as I was thinking about the lesson that he has suffered so much and he really does know exactly how I feel on something that's bothering me. It really blows my mind to think there is one person who truly understands how I feel. It makes me feel bad that maybe if I had not commit ed that sin maybe Christ would have felt a little less anguish. It makes me never want to do something that would ever hurt him. It made me feel extremely close to our savior and I'm so glad that i went to that lesson. I have been thinking a lot about the church this last few weeks and question i had was; everyone on earth accepted the plan that Christ purposed because well they simply are here on earth. Well i wonder if we knew what our lives were going to entail to a degree. Like Hitler is a good example. Did he realize he would come down and murder people. I know we have our free agency and so maybe he didn't. I want to know if we chose to have our lives be the way they are. I kind of think we had some idea as to what it would be like. We didn't care how bad it was down here because up there we saw the entire picture and it was so worth it to come down here that no matter the trial or situation we signed up. I often sit and complain about how my life is so hard and such but this really made me think. I knew what i was doing in heaven and didn't care because I had so much faith in my father in heaven that i said OK it will be hard but I'm doing it! I know that i don't know a lot about the scriptures and everything there is to know about the gospel but things like that really help your testimony grow. Its pretty much amazing. Very humbling. This week has been pretty good I would say.
