For some reason I feel better writing my spiritual promptings and feelings on this blog. Hand writing in a journal is too slow for my fast-paced mind (conditioned by this fast-paced life?). I also feel better about the style of writing this blog forces me to take up. In a personal journal, I tend to veer off into simply talking to myself in a way that only I may understand or simply talk about things that I would never want to share with anyone else. In this format, I may take on a better mode of writing. Also, I can proofread and edit.
So for my first post I want to talk a little about General Conference this week. I loved Elder Holland on Sunday (morning?) and also Elder Uchtdorf during the Priesthood session. Hopefully I will get into why I loved them so much in a later post, but during Conference in general (ha, see what I did there?) I realized that I have a good amount of difficulty accepting the doctrine of agency. I just have struggled for a long time trying to understand how and why I make decisions. I have watched myself explicitly make the wrong decision, as well as implicitly make the right one. I have seen other people make decisions based upon similar principles and who have many environmental factors which may not benefit their rational decision-making skills in a given circumstance.
Nevertheless.
I am glad that I realized how much this principle is affecting me because now I have something to study and pray about.
Answers will ensue.
