You may be asking yourself Why is this blog even here? Well its here to answer the even deeper questions of life. You've probably asked yourself these questions once or twice or a long time ago or just this morning while you were brushing your teeth. These questions: "Where did I come from?" "Why am I here?" and "Where will I go after this life?" tend to have been in the human mind since forever.
I'm not claiming to be a genius mad person who knows all the answers for all the universe and I have the cure for you! I'm here to just let people know that I've answered these questions for me and I want to share this answer with everyone. My answer to be quite simple is the Atonement and Gospel of Jesus Christ. I know I am a daughter of God who loves me. I know that I'm here on earth to learn and grow and help other people do the same (and that answers the first question of why this blog's here) and I know where I'm going after this life: back to my Father in Heaven.
That is why my blog is called The River's Return.
This river seems at peace in the tranquility of its reflection.
The mountains point downward into its waters.
This river of my soul is flowing forward with a steadfastness towards Him.
My course is set. I seek eternal truths that will last me my journey through.
I reflect everything. The sun, moon, and stars.
I fill the river of my soul with living waters of the one who died for me.
This river will always be returning to the Savior’s loving arms.
It sounds corny and cheesy but, you see, I have this thing about rivers. When I thought about doing a blog I thought and I thought and I thought some more. If you've noticed that's a lot of thinking or "thoughting" you're totally right! I thought about nature and how its always there giving its witness that there is a God (Alma 30:44) I also thought about my life and how I can compare it to the flowing of a river; the blocks or dams of my life, the eddies and currents. So I thought of a river and how its almost impossible for it to return to its source without help and I thought how its almost impossible for me to return to my God without the help of the Savior, Jesus Christ and the name seemed to just fit. And I'm not one to complain when things just fit.
So here I am, an almost computer illiterate, sharing her perspective of this strange thing we call life. So pardon the bad grammar and the worser techy skills and please just listen to your heart when you read the things I post. Truth is something that everybody can feel if they're listening with the heart. I'm trying to share the thing (Gospel of Jesus Christ) that has brought me so much happiness to my life and in the life to come. I know where I'm going and I want to invite everybody to come to that place.
So in short the reason I'm even writing this blog is to help and invite people to become happier. It's as simple as that.
