Heavenly Father, Earthly Father and Me as a global parent.

Heavenly Father, Earthly Father and Me as a global parent.

before start reading, i recommend you to watch this sweet YouTube clip first to understand what i am going to talk about.

i watched this clip several days ago when my LDS friends shared it on their facebook. at that time i just think that this clip was cute and it showed how much Heavenly Father loves us. but i really didn't think much about it. i always know that He loves me.
on Thursday 31st January, i get some sort of questions with Heavenly Father (read here my testimony). i didn't mention this in my last blog "my testimony" because when Heavenly Father give the answer to me, it didn't make senses at that time.

after Heavenly Father told me that i wasn't call to teach the world. i was so sad and i asked Him "how can i serve you , Father?"  and the answer He gave me was D&C82:8-17  (read the full D&C82 )

8 And again, I say unto you, I give unto you a ^anewcommandment, that you may understand my will concerning you;

 9 Or, in other words, I give unto you directions how you may ^aactbefore me, that it may ^bturn to you for your salvation.

 10 I, the Lord, am ^abound when ye do what I say; but when ye do not what I say, ye have no ^bpromise.

 11 Therefore, verily I say unto you, that it is expedient for my servants Edward Partridge and Newel K. Whitney, A. Sidney Gilbert and Sidney Rigdon, and my servant Joseph Smith, and John Whitmer and Oliver Cowdery, and W. W. Phelps and Martin Harris to be bound ^atogether by a bond and covenant that cannot be ^bbroken by transgression, except judgment shall immediately follow, in your several ^cstewardships—

 12 To manage the affairs of the poor, and all things pertaining to the bishopric ^aboth in the land of Zion and in the land of Kirtland;

 13 For I have consecrated the land of Kirtland in mine own due time for the benefit of the saints of the Most High, and for a ^astaketo Zion.

 14 For ^aZion must increase in ^bbeauty, and in ^choliness; her borders must be enlarged; her ^dstakes must be strengthened; yea, verily I say unto you, Zion must ^earise and put on her ^fbeautiful garments.

 15 Therefore, I give unto you this commandment, that ye bind yourselves by this covenant, and it shall be done according to the laws of the Lord.

 16 Behold, here is ^awisdom also in me for your good.

 17 And you are to be ^aequal, or in other words, you are to have equal ^bclaims on the ^cproperties, for the benefit of ^dmanaging the concerns of your stewardships, every man according to his wants and his needs, inasmuch as his wants are just—

i was like... hummmmm.... what i am suppose to do??? i had been baptize for not so long and i not sure what the Lord mean by this. it didn't make sense for me at all. i did a little study and come to know that this commandment was to have all member put their money together and share equal money with each other so everyone equal, and for other people who need more, he can have more if his need are just.

i was like...did the Lord want me to work in this field ? but how can i do that? are they going to appointed me at the church, that would be cool!!  i'll wait and see how thing is going to work!

but Sunday went by and i didn't get appointed. Monday passed by and nothing happens also. and here come  Tuesday,,, i went to the library in downtown and walk passed a guy , a volunteer from UNICEF (non-profit organization for children). i was looking and think about it. the Lord want me to help the poor. maybe this is an answer ?

so i went to the library and pray to asked Him about it. His first answered was confusing(it was exactly the same verse i read in the morning...still not make sense at this point so i will skip it first , i explain later when it come to make sense) so i told Heavenly Father that i am not quite smart, can He give me more direct answer? and guess what He gave me !  when i open the book of Mormon again, it was D&C82:17 that show up!! His answer was clear "help the poor"  (if you are wondering why i need to pray and ask Him,,  my family has financial problem at this point)

so i went out and see the UNICEF volunteer, talked to him and register to donate 15$/month (that's the maximum rate for student) i didn't think a lot when i did it. i just did what Heavenly  Father told me to do.

the guy gave me a paper...a sort of "thank you" paper. i read it and i was stunned with this one sentence "As a Global parent , you are part of...."    ,,, Global parent ? me?  i didn't know why when i think of myself as a parent of those kids and remind me of the YouTube clip "Earthly Father, Heavenly Father". those children i helped provide money  never see me before and i didn't see them either but for some reason when think about being parent make me feel closer to them. those children always know that some unknown people love them enough to spare money for them. they have hope to be provided for and cared for , just like the children in that YouTube clip that they know they are safe when their father work and provide for them :)

also it remind me of how much Heavenly Father cares for me. i never see Him but i know He is there for me. i have faith and hope in Him that He would provide for me. He knows me and love me.

it bring me to tear when i think about it.
ah, you might not see how this is related , but for me it is very much related... (woman's brain can connect everything together)

my testimony

Sunday 3th was a testimonial Sunday...however i was so scare to go up and talk...so hopefully i can bare my testimony here

it all happened on Thursday 31th January. i was doing some research about Meadow mountain massacre that the Mormon has involved in so i can show the correct information to the guy who talk bad about Mormon people. i have started a blog on the Mormonism that explain and fight back anti-Mormon documents.

but when i had all information i needed (this happened in the morning), i prayed to the Heavenly Father to guide me and help me write everything correctly.

but the answer for me is "No"  ,the answer is in D&C23:4 (for thou also art under no condemnation, and thy calling is to exhortation, and to strengthen the church; and thou art not as yet called to preach before the world. Amen.)i was confused with His answer so i asked the Lord again "why, Lord why ?"   and His answer is that the person will not listen and come to water of baptise.

and i know that the Lord was kind to me in the scripture it said that He called me here not to blame me, He encourage me to serve the church, but it just not time for me to teach.

i was so sad...

in the afternoon. i prayed to asked the Lord again and His answer was so clear
 (D&C63:7-12 ). 
7 And he that seeketh ^asigns shall see ^bsigns, but not unto salvation.

 8 Verily, I say unto you, there are those among you who seek signs, and there have been such even from the beginning;

 9 But, behold, faith cometh not by signs, but ^asigns follow those that believe.

 10 Yea, ^asigns come by ^bfaith, not by the will of men, nor as they please, but by the will of God.

 11 Yea, signs come by faith, unto mighty works, for without ^afaithno man pleaseth God; and with whom God is ^bangry he is not well pleased; wherefore, unto such he showeth no signs, only in ^cwrathunto their ^dcondemnation.

 12 Wherefore, I, the Lord, am not pleased with those among you who have sought after signs and wonders for faith, and not for the good of men unto my glory.

 He wanted people to have "faith" not "fact".

so i stopped doing all my research, delete my blog,  delete everything because the Lord told me.

on Sunday,3rd February, it was the first Sunday of the month and it was testimonial Sunday. i was listening to people share their testimonies. i prayed to Heavenly Father again "Heavenly Father, if  i don't give the new investigators fact,but my faith, can i still teach them?"

His answer was "Yes" i felt it inside and i open the book of Mormon. the answer showed in D&C28:4-5

 4 And if thou art ^aled at any time by the Comforter to ^bspeak or teach, or at all times by the way of commandment unto the church, thou mayest do it.

 5 But thou shalt not write by way of ^acommandment, but by wisdom;

i can teach new investigators as long as i speak with the power of the Holy ghost. i was so happy. i had a lesson with the missionaries and investigator right after Church service.

i tried my best to not put the fact in the lesson with the elders, but then i still put the facts.... the elders told me that i know a lot. i was happy to hear the compliment, but it still was not good enough.

in the evening of the same day, i had another lesson with the other group of elders and i had share my testimony, my faith , not a fact. (read here -> how do i know there are Gods? )

it felt totally different.

i got home with one knowledge and i re-think about what the Lord answered me.

when i got baptise about 3 months ago. i had no almost nothing about Joseph Smith, or history of the LDS church, i read only few chapters of the book of Mormon. and i still have a lot of questions about the church and a lot of thing that i read from anti-Mormon documents. (i got baptised in only 3 weeks after i met the missionaries on the street. )

but there is one thing i know that was true, that make me agree to be baptise. i knew my feeling that i knew the church is true, the book of Mormon is true. i had "faith" not "fact"

i realised that it doesn't because of the more knowledge i know about Joseph smith or history of the church, or evident about place in the book of Mormon that make me believe in the church and feel closer to Gods.

it is because of my small prayer in everyday, reading the scriptures, serving him, and living the gospel life that i come to know that Heavenly Father is there ,and Jesus Christ and Holy ghost are true.

my faith isn't based on how much information i have , but how much i had change and how much i felt when i read the book of Mormon and how the Lord talked to me.

find all D&C --> Doctrine and Covenants

how do i know there are Gods?

how do i know there are Gods?

yesterday (Sunday 4th) i had an opportunity to be in the class room with Elder Bej and his companion (i don't know his name) and 2 Korean investigators. we had wonderful lesson. i love to be with new investigators. they always bring up new questions that i never think of them before.

one of the investigators (there is a guy and a girl) asked "how do i know there are Gods?"  (actually, she asked how do i know there is God, but since in we,Mormon, believe in 3 separate Gods, so i change her question)

she told us that when she talked to some christian people, they told her that they believed in God because God helped them when they had problems. she said "now, i don't have problem, so i don't need to pray for help. how do i know there is God?"

interesting question!

i raised my hand to talk (we are in a small room with 5 people including me, so i get a habit of raising my hand when i want to say something. so people would be looking at me)

i told her " i know Heavenly Father when i serve Him. when i don't have problem to ask for help, i pray to Heavenly Father for opportunity to serve Him such as helping missionaries, be in the lesson with them, and help other people. when i helped them i feel happy and  i feel closer to Heavenly Father and my Lord"

the girl looked at me and said "now i know why people at the church are so kind to me!"

i told her that having faith is like having a small seed, in order to make it growth we need to take care of it and plant it. it takes time to growth , but it will growth if we took good care of it.

the elders also help show the investigators the picture from the book of Mormon's children picture book in Alma 32 section.

it seem like they understand it because the girl said "then if i try to believe in God and pray, i will come to know there is God, right?"

the elders and me were like "yes, of cause"  i told her that normally when i pray. i don't pray when i have only problem. i pray every time i want to pray, i pray to say thank you to Heavenly Father for food, friends, family, a safe trip home after work, place to sleep etc.

the elders also told them that we don't go to Heavenly Father only when we have problem. they told them to think of Heavenly Father as their parents, "we don't phone our parents only when  we need money, right? we talk to them about everything good or bad. it is as same as prayer. we pray to Heavenly Father to talk to Him about everything"

the lesson with them is so wonderful. we had chance to talk with our investigators again after the lesson because they took the same bus to sky train.  we talked about a lot of things about the church.

i told them that i know Gods because i know that i am peacefully happy.

this happiness is not from worldly thing. i used to be happy when i go shopping and buy new cloths and shoes, i used to be happy to wear high heel , short skirt, sexy cloth, make up and go out with friends. i used to be happy to listen to a teenager music and read gossip stuff on the magazine or reading a new make up fashion and hair style.

now, i am happy just to help other, i am happy to read the book of Mormon, i am happy to be in the lesson with missionaries and learn new things. i am happy to serve my Lord. i am happy doing whatever He told me to do. of cause it some time made me tired ,but i am very happy to love my Lord and serve Him :)

i don't think much about worldly thing now that i have Gods with me, and know that They love me. what else do i need more?
