proud to humble ,weak to strong

I find that even though that I have only been out for a little while on my mission, I am changing. I am not reaching new climbs but  I find that I am revisiting old ones and remembering things from when I was a little girl , recognizing the importance of simplicity in the doctrines of Jesus Christ  and in the constant development of my testimony in the building of the foundations of the missionary that the lord wants me to become. I guess it reminds me of a scripture in Mosiah 3:19


" For the natural man is an enemy to God, and has been from the fall of Adam, and will be, forever and ever, unless he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit, and putteth off the natural man and becometh a saint through the atonement of Christ the Lord, and becometh as a child, submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth submit to his father."


I find sometimes that it is easy to feel the exact opposite .stubborn ,proud impatient hateful and contentious .I really feel this sometime especially when I am trying really hard to follow the example of Jesus Christ but I know that I have can  put off the natural man through the strength that the atonement provided for me .
 this scripture is so inspirational to me in (Ether 12:27).


“And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them”


I love this because I know that if I willingly submit unto the lord and centre my life and purpose to following him back to my heavenly father, he will make me stronger and stronger so that one day I will be worthy to stand in his presents being able to say that I have done my best  .
