because of my savior.

Brother Griffin started off class this Thursday talking about how loved we all are. He went on to say that sometimes when we are going through a hard time and our hearts are soft it is because we needed to be molded and changed. It is a lot easier to change when we are soft and malleable. This was exactly what I needed to hear this week. This semester has been difficult for me and I am so thankful for this class and Brother Griffen. I am always reminded of all the good in my life and how blessed I am when I am in my New Testament class. I am reminded that my Savior, Jesus Christ is always there to love and protect me when I need it. I loved that in John 12:7 Jesus told people taunting Mary to "Let her alone". He will stand up for us and give us all the love and support we need. Mary was serving Jesus through expensive oils and because of this she was blessed. I want to give my Savior all that I can because of all the goodness I have in my life because of him. 

Later on in the class we studied another miracle that often goes overlooked. In Matthew 21 Jesus rides a donkey through the city and that donkey should not have made it, but it did. Because of Jesus we can find ourselves in situations that we didn't think we could handle or reach. I want to let Jesus lead me to new wonderful things in my life. Just two years ago I didn't think I would still be in college, especially at a BYU, because I was having such a hard time. I am here and I am loving it because of Jesus Christ.
