What a beautiful Sunday! This has been the best weather I've seen in Rexburg for several days! The sun was shining, it was warm, the wind was calm, and there was a beautiful spirit! Today I had the blessed opportunity to sing at a CES Fireside. Elder Quinton L. Cook spoke, and something that stood out to me was "What e'er thou art, act well thy part." (Shakespeare) It really made me think about who I want to be and what I am. I love knowing that I'm a daughter of God, and knowing that I really need to go and show that in my countenance.
As a combined choir (the BYU-Idaho Collegiate Singers, Men's Choir, and Women's Choir) we sang two songs: "Guide Us O, Thou Great Jehovah" and "Faith in Every Footstep" The first piece is an arrangement done by Mack Wilberg and the latter is an arrangement that is part of the oratorio we are singing this semester written by K. Newell Dayley. "Faith in Every Footstep" also had parts of the song "A Marvelous Work" It was fantastic!
I've been thinking about the lyrics to this hymn, "Faith in Every Footstep". I think that, in my life, I need to walk more in faith. During church, I looked up the definition of "faith"and part of the definition included "confidence". Whenever I think of "confidence" I think of a constant trust; I don't think I'm very constant on trusting in the Lord. There are times when I do, but there are times when I don't. I want to trust in the Lord more consistently and have Him be first in my life. I know that, if I do that, I can have the Lord more in my life and feel the spirit more.
