Regrets

A few weeks ago I was in conversation with someone and the topic came up of homosexuals and the church. Now I am not going to get in to all of that, but a comment was made of one of the prophets and how this person would not support this prophet because of an action he had taken in his calling. I am very ashamed of myself for not coming to the defense of this chosen man of God for the soul purpose of not wanting to stir in the pot.

I wanted to just state that I know we have chosen leaders from the first presidency down to our nursery leaders and they are called of God. I am so grateful to be a part of a church that teaches me so much and brings so much hope. I hope that I will not be driven away by a small thing, and I feel by not sanding for what I believe in I will be more prone to do just that. Before my mission I was promoted at a job I had, on one of my first days after my promotion a lady under me stated that I had messed up and hadn't yet learned my responsibilities my boss happened to be in the room at the time and was very upset, he told the lady that whatever I said was the right way because I was in charge of the shift.

I have always looked at him as one of strength I would have been fine and life would have gone on had he said nothing but he did. I didn't say anything and somehow cheapened the power of this man to this person when I could have bore a strong testimony that this is Gods church and he runs the show. Perhaps through imperfect leaders, but leaders of his choosing and whether right or wrong it was not my place to judge, only to seek answers and peace through prayer. I love the teachings of the Gospel. I love what it has brought into my life and I hope that I can do better to show that.
