O Remember, Remember

Over the last month or so, I've had a number of relatively "dramatic" spiritual experiences associated with my upcoming baptism into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (see here, here, and here). And I also had a strong spiritual experience 14 years ago (see here). I've been wondering why my Heavenly Father would provide me with so many testimony-building experiences - and in such rapid succession - when others I know haven't had any. I am surely grateful for these experiences but also feel a bit uncomfortable to have these blessing bestowed upon me. I honestly don't feel worthy and a bit unprepared.

During the weekly church service today, two members were asked to discuss a recent talk given by President Henry B. Eyring called "O Remember, Remember". In it, President Eyring discusses how we should find ways to recognize and remember God’s kindness in our daily lives. At one point, he relays a personal experience in which he received this message: “I’m not giving you these experiences for yourself. Write them down.” And, there it was. The answer to my question. Perhaps the reason why I have been given these experiences - especially at this point in my life - is that I have this venue (my blog) to write about them and share them with others. In that way, my recent experiences have the ability to touch the lives of others.
