Section 20-24

I want to do this one a little differently.
20 is one of the confusing chapters for me, due to the fact that there is SOOO much in it.  I know it speaks of so much of the priesthood that I just dont fully understand.  All the many offices and what they do, I can't speerate it in my head enough to understand it.

But after reading those sections I just feel prompted to share my testimony on the atonement.  It was on my mind the whole time that I was reading the sections.

No one is perfect.
I'm not perfect.
I have felt the atonement in my life.
Without that blessing I dont know where I would be.
..I feel like I am repeating things that I wrote in my last entry and I am sorry about that.  It is just the atonement is something that is huge in my life.  I know that my savior died for me.  He gave his life so that I might live.  He faced every trial that we would.  He even had to face temptaion.  The devil came to him and tried to get him to follow and deny who he was.  But Christ basicly said Get thee hence Satin.  One of my favorite lines.  I often say that to myself in my mind when I am feeling pressured.  I know that with the Lord on my side that he will always be there for me.  That if I pray and work with him that I will not be tested above my capibillity to do things.
With the atonement, I am able to have my garmets red as scarlet and have them be washed to as white as snow again.  The thoughts and feelings of hating myself start to go away. 
Though the atonement isnt just when you want to repent, it is like an everyday way of life.  Every thought and action and deed.  In every trail, or sickness, you have the atonement.  I have a savoir that I can go to in anything and everything and ask for help.  I can feel his love.  I wake up every morning and am so thankful for the atonement and the gift of life that I have to be here and learning.  And even though I mess up (sometimes more then others) I know that my Heavenly Father loves me and he is there and wants me to come to him and remember him.
